The Handsome man - NaSra - 05-05-2005
The Handsome Man
Once Aisha, The Wife of Prophet, was asked. "Who is the Handsome Man?" she answered :
" The Handsome man is man with Beard".

<i>Tushar Imdad-ul-Haque Bhuiya </i>
I came to eat dinner in my halls of residence one day last year when two sisters started laughing at me; I had some food stuck in my beard. They went on to innocently and honestly mock my beard saying it was messy, unnatural and unhygienic. Little did they know the rage that I felt as a result of this and I channeled this rage by unleashing my anger through my pen and out came this poem.
I performed this poem in the Leicester University/DMU Islamic Societies and Eid Celebration and it was received with much laughter and acclaim - Alhamdulillah. Due to popular demand and many requests I have decided to type my poem up and email it to my friends in Islam. Let me remind you all not to be offended as this is no fatwa or religious statement - just a funny poem that spontaneously was produced as a result of my unfortunate experience...
Tushar (12th March )
"Glorified be He who beautifies women
With long locks of hair
And Men with long beards
There is beauty in the beard
Aye, there is beauty in the beard!
When the lion roars all the animals submit
For the lion is the king of the jungle
The lion with its glorious mane
And a Muslim man grows his mane in pride
Showing the rest of humanity that he is to be respected
Can one imagine a lion without its mane?
Nay, thou canst not!
Then imagine a man without his beard
Woe to worldly women who mock the beards so!
Desiring husbands with clean shaven faces
Woe to women who mock the Prophets Sunnah
In the name of hygiene, neatness and smooth texture
Indeed the women of this world cannot like the beard
But she who wants Paradise adores the beard!
A beard is a gift given to man
Something only he can grow; a woman never can!
When he ponders, he gently strokes it;
When he eats, it stores food;
When he is with kids, they play with it adoringly;
When he is with his wife, she fondles it lovingly;
When the enemy see it, fear is struck in their hearts!
Ah! there is indeed beauty in the beard!
All the Prophets had beards - yes they did!
Muhammad pbuh had a beard - so big! so big!
All the companions had beards - o yes! o yes!
All the sages had beards - I know! I know!
All the wise have beards - this true! this true!
All the pious have beards - you see! you see!
All the Muslims have beards!? - if only! if only!
Who did not have beards? The kafirun!
Who had clean shaven faces? The kafirun!
Who grew their moustaches? The kafirun!
"And what did our Prophet pbuh order?" I here you ask
He ordered us to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
Lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
What greater reason that this can there be
The fact that our Prophet told us to see
That we make ourselves appear to the world
As full bearded men with honour untold
O Muslim brother! Why do you desire to look like a woman
When your blessed facial hair is the differece between you and the opposite gender?
O poor Muslim brother! Why do you imitate the kafir
Instead of following the Prophet of Islam?
O silly Muslim sister! Why are you so blind?
Infatuated with Hollywood actors who have no mind!
O wretched sister! Are you not scared of your choice?
You would rather have a feminine monkey instead of an exalted manly ape!
So indeed I love my beard
And adore the curls and tangles
Which no oil, gel or superglue can ever straighten
My glorious long, curly, messy, fluffy beard!
The playhouse for kids;
The envy of peoples
And the beloved of Allah!
I maybe rejected by worldly women because of this hair on my face
But who care! For my Mum loves it and she puts all such sisters to disgrace!
Be patient Muslim brothers, who shun the trendy look for a Prophetic pose
Paradise with the wide eyed Houris is our final abode!!!!!"

Hadith - Bukhari 9:651, Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri
The Prophet said, "There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible)." The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards)." (Fateh Al-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)
Hadith - Bukhari 7:781, Narrated Ibn 'Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)."

Asalamalaikum
Yeah I agree the Brother is very talented masha'Allah. I also can't help but agree with Aisha (ra)Somehow Brothers with beards are the most handsome not the shaven ones. Especially when they are practising muslims who show taqwa and Imaan in their actions masha'Allah that lightens up their faces even more. [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img]

Definitely! We are strangers, the kufars paradise is this world ours is the eternal herefafter.
Today I was studying with a few girls in my classes and it was just us girls. They kept saying to me hey take your hijab off be comfortable "remember you said that the opposite sex cannot see you" it's just us girls now go ahead girl show us.
I didn't know how to say to them "I can't uncover infront of nonmuslim women" so instead I said a muslim girl could see me if she wanted, a hint as in accept islam and i'll show you.
They didn't want to understand so instead they started asking "So tell us.. what if one day u wake up and suddenly all of your hijabs disappear"? Me: Uhmmm call one of my sisters in islam and ask them to bring me some hijabs of course. Then they go....."NO what if all the hijabs in the world get destroyed"? I was like, would that include all the materials and garments that one can make out of hijabs?, and they said, YES. I said well, I would stay home and never come out than. One of them said to me, "u would stop your education, your life just because of a simple hijab"? The fact that they were so determined to ask me so much made me feel like I was in yawm al qiyama when we have to answer so many questions. I really felt at that moment that I was a stranger. Somehow I can sit and talk to my sisters in islam and I can look at their peaceful eyes and feel so much at ease. I can really feel our sisterhood the bond that comes from believing in the oneness of Allah. I cannot feel anything with those nonmuslim girls. They smile and they try to be nice but I know deep down inside they don't care about me. They want me to go astray and lose my dignity and become one of them.
1000 of nonmuslim can never come close a million miles to the great company of a believing woman!!!!!! one believing woman.
May ALlah keep us on the siratul mustaqeem, and arm the future of this ummah (the youngsters) with Imaan and Taqwa and make them strong muslims with unshakable Imaan and Heart dedicated only to ALLAH and shield us against all evil that misguides us from the straight path of al Islam.
Sorry if I hijacked the purpose of this thread......I just needed to vent a bit [img]style_emoticons/default/sad.gif[/img]

Assalamu alaikum sis I!
Oh sis, those girls where not very nice to you, they tested your patience quite a bit, inshaAllah you did good [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] .
Many non-Muslims do not and can not truly UNDERSTAND what the hijab means to us. No matter how you explain, they just don't get it. I try to give them another way of thinking in this. IF you had to go outside your house WITHOUT your blouse or t-shirt ( [img]style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img] ) on, HOW would you feel? (to women of course) Just imagine try to find the FEELING that you would take with you. Well that is the same way I would feel going outside without my hijab. The same FEELING.
Well it is difficult sometimes to understand one another, but if we do not try, then also a lot of misinterpretations will flow around. SABR is the best concept inshaAllah.
Wasalam umm Z

Even if I will carry on hijacking the thread, but I think the point is worth making.
Intuition when u r confronted with such behavious, dont let them pull u to vain talk. Just stop and say my Quran commands me to avoid vain talk or let us say pointless talk. It brings not gain to keep on brining silly arguments, plus the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam promised one who gets out of an argument a house in Jannah. Just tell them that since the issue is not related to why is the women dress code or how to properly do it. I mean it is not related to what Islam say about this or that.
just stop and make a hold to the talk
just an advice
