    how important is it to grow a beard?

    Report bad ads?

    i've read about how growing a beard is a sign of deep devotion, and about various lengths. some say you should be able to wrap a fist around it with 2 inches coming out of the bottom.

    whenever i try to grow a beard, it's an epic fail. thanks to crap genes from my dad it grows fine it bits but not at all in others and looks ridiculous

    so how important is growing a beard?

    thanks

    I'll let someone else answer the importance part.

    But my beard initially grew in patches too. I thought it'd always be like that, lol. I've never shaved in my life. Just scissor trims, if anything. And it grew out just fine. You couldn't even tell that it ever grew it patches.

    I had the same problem. Until I was 65 years old I could not even grow a 5 o'clock shadow. But the first Ramadan after I accepted Islam, I grew a full beard.

    I doubt very much Allaah(swt) will hold you to blame for what you can not do. so just ignore anyone who questions your lack of beard.Not every race of people has facial hair.

    Re: how important is it to grow a beard?

    Assalamu Alaikum brother,

    I also inherited hairless genes but as soon as I started to pray it grew. Brother you will hear thousand of similar stories, keep trying.
    Some people can only grow goatees, You should not worry what others think as you are not growing it for them.
    Inshallah in time you will get a beard. To any that make fun of you ignore them as they have no Adab.
    As for the importance of having a beard it all depends on who you talk to.
    To most it's a Sunnah and we do it to emulate our beloved Prophet s.a.w.

    Masalam

    Our beard story told with no Fear
    About inherited genes we Hear
    Not all who claim to be a rightful Heir
    will eventually be left with no facial Hair
    And should you think this rhyme is made from Air
    you've never heard the one about the Hare

    Re: how important is it to grow a beard?

    Everyone has commented on their beard, but not a single person has said what islam thinks about beard. I am a 15 year old boy and to be honest I'm not a big fan of beard. Am i suppose to grow one or not? Please reply since i'm kind of lost.

    For the brothers who can't grow a full beard, don't feel bad. I can't grow a full beard either, so I settle for having a goatee.
