also just mentions that rasulullah's (peace be upon him) beard used to cover most of his chest and you want to be like him...that should be enough to quell any potential arguments.

I should have tears flowing down my face as I write this, but I have a hard heart so that's not happening. It is utterly, despicably, absolutely, most positively beyond SAD that that doesn't even work these days. It's like "Sunnah? What Sunnah? Get out of here." People are soo embarrassed to have anything to do with practicing a "visible" sunnah, such as beard, dressing, etc, that they would rather continue butchering these sunnahs (clean shaving daily) every chance they get.

I understand the size of one's beard doesn't determine someone's tawqa, trust me, but my point is with certain people if you say you're practicing the sunnah of the Prophet

, that doesn't even work. They run from it. They'll even go as far as saying "that's fine but it doesn't look good for your job so you should trim it down nice and smooth.", and many other sentences of the same variety.

It is sad.
