Is Islam a Religious Issue?
00:05
I think that the one who is studying Islam
00:09
will automatically himself come to a time
00:11
where this issue is one that will basically
00:14
become one that they're thinking about all the time.
00:16
I think that a person who begins his religiosity
00:20
will not and should not be approached with this one issue.
00:23
Rather they should be approached with basic knowledge
00:25
with what is Islam, what is Iman,
00:27
what is Tawheed, how do we worship Allah,
00:29
why do we worship Allah, emphasize the prayers,
00:32
emphasize the Qur'an, emphasize spirituality,
00:34
emphasize the world vision of Islam.
00:36
These are far more important questions.
00:38
And I personally in my own interactions
00:42
when I'm meeting with Muslims over and over again,
00:45
I never go out of my way to emphasize the issue of the beard.
00:49
Once I get to know somebody whom I've known for a while
00:51
and he doesn't have a beard,
00:53
I might jokingly remark something about,
00:56
Oh Inshallah, next time I see you,
00:58
you'll have some beard or something like that.
00:59
Just a joking remark in passing that will make him think.
01:02
I don't sit him down and give him a huge lecture.
01:05
I just don't think that's appropriate
01:06
and I think it turns many people off
01:08
who have been raised in the Western environment.
01:10
I think it turns people off to be so blunt
01:13
about an issue that they believe to be trivial.
01:15
And I think that to introduce it in that manner,
01:18
in a blunt manner is not wise.
01:20
Rather it should be done in a indirect manner.
01:22
And Inshallah, slowly but surely,
01:24
I mean I've never really had any problems.
01:26
Once a person reaches a level of Iman and religiosity
01:30
where they want to follow the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ,
01:32
one of the most obvious manifestations of that is the beard.
01:36
And so I've never really had any problem.
01:38
Build the spirituality and the beard will come automatically.
01:41
Is it appropriate to equate the hijab with the beard in this respect?
01:45
Not at all.
01:47
This is definitely not correct
01:49
because the evidences for the hijab are Qur'anic
01:53
and there is no explicit Qur'anic evidence for the beard.
01:56
The hijab has been the symbol of Islam for women centuries over
02:01
and there is no serious controversy about the hijab.
02:04
Believe it or not there are some ulama
02:06
who say that the beard is, as we all know, not farḍ.
02:09
And this is something that you find.
02:11
So the controversy over the beard
02:13
has been around much longer than that of the hijab.
02:15
There is really no controversy over the hijab.
02:17
So to equate the beard and the hijab
02:19
and to say they're at the same level
02:20
is definitely not correct.
02:22
Not every wajib is at the same level
02:24
and the evidences differ from issue to issue.
02:26
So the evidences for the hijab are far more explicit,
02:29
far more Qur'anic, far more overpowering
02:32
than the evidences for the beard
02:34
even though I think both of them are farḍ.
