This book provides a detailed study of the importance of growing a beard in Islam. In the present age, many Muslims are affected by Western imperialism and the media to the extent that they no longer consider the beard to be a symbol of Muslim identity. The author has combined various disciplines in this book: Qur\u2019anic exegesis, sayings of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him), opinions of Islamic jurists, history, social psychology, biology, and comparative religion.<\/p>\n
The author\u2019s broad research ranges from the history of the beard among various nations in the past and present to the reasons for the rise of a beardless culture among Muslims. He delves into the psychological and sociological reasons which have resulted in the negligence of this important Sunnah by many present-day Muslims. To strengthen his case, the author presents scientific research which proves that the beard makes a man appear more attractive, intellectual, honest, and heroic in the eyes of both women as well as other men. A beard ensures attraction, protection, and perfection for men. This book is a must-read for Muslim men of all ages.<\/p>\n
