Pearl of Wisdom

'On the Day of Resurrection a ruler will be brought forth who had inflicted one lash less than the punishment prescribed. He will plead, ?O My Lord! I did it out of mercy for Your servants.' He will be told, 'Are you [trying to be] more merciful to them than Me?' Then he will be ordered into the Fire. Another man who had added one lash [to the Punishment] will be brought forth, and he will plead, '[O Allah! I did it] to make them stop committing acts of disobedience to You.' Then he too will be ordered into the Fire.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]
Awalial-La'ali, v. 2, p. 153, no. 427

Subject: Practicing Islam
Question: Assalamu Alaikum,

I am from a muslim family. I was ignorant about Islam a year ago, but Alhamdulillah now studying about Islam and trying to follow it at my level best. I am now dressing up the Islamic way, i am growing beard, wearing pants higher than my TAKHNU and so on. I am also spending a healthy time of my day studying Islam. The problem is my father thinks i am being obsessive about Islam. He thinks it is too early(22 years of age)for me to keep beard. For this, i wont get any job. He fears that the secular police of our county will arrest me accusing of being a terrorist(As beard is a sign of terrorism in our country. He also thinks studying Islam will hamper my normal academic study. He says I have to obey my Father and it is fard for me to do so. He is telling me to cut the beard and spend a very little time in studying Islam and concentrate more on my academic one. He suggests that after getting a job and getting married, i can carry on the study and keep beard.

Now what will i do? will i cut my beard and stop studying about Islam to follow my Father as it is fard for me? Is it allowed to leave any other fard or wajib to follow another fard? Please clarify. I am in severe mental pressure.

Jazakallah Khair
