Laws of the Beard and the Hair in the Light of the Ahadith

Islam has given special guidelines regarding the hair. The prophet Mohammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) says. "Lengthen the beard and oppose the Mushrikin (Idolators) and the fire worshippers." Islam is a complete way of life, and guides, just as other aspects of Islam, to the social need and lifestyle of our outer condition. Every nation and religion has some distinguishing mark or symbol. History has proven that a nation which does not adhere to its distinguishing feature finally loses its' entire identity and dissolves with another nation. Through Islam, Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prepared a completely different nation, from Ibadat (Worshipping) and etiquettes right down to appearance.
