Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds [Translation of al-An'am,6:71 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali]

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Be different from the idolaters; let the beard grow and trim the moustache.” Whenever Ibn Umar performed the pilgrimage or the lesser pilgrimage, he would grab hold of his beard and what was left he cut. [Source: Sahih Bukhari 5553; Sahih Muslim 259; Grade: Muttafaqun  Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim] Ibn Hajr reported: Al-Qadi Iyad said, “It is disliked to cut, shave or trim the beard.” [Source: Fath ul-Bari] عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَالِفُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَفِّرُوا اللِّحَى وَأَحْفُوا الشَّوَارِبَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا حَجَّ أَوْ اعْتَمَرَ قَبَضَ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَمَا فَضَلَ أَخَذَهُ 5553 صحيح البخاري كِتَاب اللِّبَاسِ الفطرة خمس الختان والاستحداد وقص الشارب وتقليم الأظفار ونتف الآباط 259 صحيح مسلم كتاب الطهارة باب خصال الفطرة وَقَالَ عِيَاضٌ يُكْرَهُ حَلْقُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَقَصُّهَا وَتَحْذِيفُهَا فتح الباري شرح

And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands which he fulfilled; He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But my promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." (1) [Translation of al-Baqarah,2:124 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali] Note (1) : Kalimat: literally "words" here used in the mystic sense of God's Will or Decree or Purpose. This verse may be taken to be the sum of the verses following. In everything Abraham fulfilled God's wish: he purified God's house; he built the sacred refuge of the Ka'ba; he submitted his will to God's, and thus became the type of Islam. He was promised the leadership of the world; he pleaded for his progeny, and his prayer was granted, with the limitation that if his progeny was false to God, God's promise did not reach the people who proved themselves false.
