Ṣiddīqah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا, that the noble Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

Ten things are from the natural disposition:

1. Shortening the moustache

2. Lengthening the beard

3. Using the Miswak

4. Sniffing water into the nose [as done in wuḍūˈ]

5. Cutting the nails

6. Washing the finger-joints

7. Plucking the hair of the armpits

8. Removing pubic hair

9. Cleaning with water after relieving oneself (Istinjā).

The narrator said: "I have forgotten what the tenth thing was."^{^[1]}

Dear Islamic brothers! These things are the Sunnah of the Prophets and a part of our natural disposition (fiṭrah). Now, reflect upon this! On the night of MiꜤrāj, our Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم showed us immense grace. When the vessels of milk and pure wine were presented to him, he chose the milk. What was the wisdom behind this? The wisdom was that his Ummah would remain steadfast upon fiṭrah.

Now, we must consider: are we honouring this generosity? Are we adopting those things that are part of our nature? For example, shortening the moustache and lengthening the beard are part of Fiṭrah. Look around today; how many people keep a beard...!!

Unfortunately, a large number of people remove this beautiful Sunnah of the blessed beard and wash it down the drain. اَلْاَمَان وَالْحَفِیظ...!! Remember! Shaving
