Lessons From The Miraj
the beard or trimming it to less than a fist-length is a sin and a deed that leads to Hell.[1]
The Prophet’s Dislike for Those Who Shave the Beard
It is narrated that once, two Persian officers arrived in the court of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Both were non-Muslims; therefore, their beards were shaved and their moustaches were so long that they covered their upper lips. Seeing such faces, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم turned his blessed face away in dislike and said: "Destruction be upon you! Who told you to make such a face?"
They replied: "Our lord, Chosroes Parviz." (اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللہ! اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللہ!).
Upon this, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: "But my Lord, the Lord of the worlds, has commanded me to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache."[2]
In short, dear Islamic brothers! From the MiꜤrāj of the beloved Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, we learn the lesson that we must always remain upon Fiṭrah. What is Fiṭrah? The religion of Islam. This means we must always remain steadfast upon Islam, Islamic ethics, manners, and the whole Islamic way of life. May Allah Almighty grant us all the ability to act upon this.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
