<p align=justify> [i]At the same time, I think it would be ok if a man has a moustache and not a beard simply because, we shouldn't really judge a person based on their appearence, for it is emaan and taqwa that makes one better than the other. [/i]

<p align=justify>This is the point that we the Muslims need to appreciate not only as regards the matters which have some outward manifestation or appearance but also about the matters which are related to opinions and beliefs. A Muslim should not be codemned to eternal damnation merely because he has a different viewpoint about Jihad, triple divorce or Rafa Yadain etc.

<p align=justify>However, there is one point about beard that I would like to share with you. Beard is something with which nature has adorned men. There is no denying the fact that that moustache does differentiate between male and female yet nature has also blessed men with beard to draw such a differentiation. We need to honor what nature has endowed us.

<p align=justify>I am not attaching any importance to beard in the religious context. what I am saying is that when Allah created man, he created him with the ability to grow beard and moustache. Since it is bestowed upon men by nature, they should honor it. I repeat again that there is no attempt to sancitfy beard in the religious context yet a desire to honor what is given to us.
