[quote]<p align=justify>Obviously, the Holy Prophet (sws) has married more than four wives, the limit otherwise ordained for the common Muslims. His example is not to be followed in this case. <p align=justify>Similarly, using the sword as a means to combat the enemy is not a Sunnah though the Holy Prophet (sws) armed himself with a sword in battles and his Companions fought with sword. <p align=justify>All aspects of his life, which he adopted because he lived in a specific age, are obviously not a Sunnah for his people, like riding a camel or wearing certain type of clothes or eating certain kind of food etc. <p align=justify>Tahajjud was obligatory for the Holy Prophet (sws); it is not for us. <p align=justify>I do not have enough information regarding antiquity to say whether all Prophets had or had not a beard. It is very likely that they had beard since it is so natural for men to keep it. What seems natural is honored by the Prophets. Moreover, beard is not specific to the Muslims or Prophets alone. Christians and Jews also kept beard and polytheists did too. Actually, the modern era has caused men to try to resemble feminine beauty in certain respects, and women to try to resemble male Wajahat in certain respects.[/quote]
