    Respectable Ghamdi’s position is that growing beard is not dictated in islam. But another scholar (Muhammad Ali Mirza) says that growing beard is obligatory according to verse 119 of Soorah Nisa. That ibless said “I will command them and they will change Allah’s creation”. He means people will change their looks”. Please help.

    The prophet has commanded to trim moustache. If the above cited logic is followed one about not trim moustache or shave one’s head.

    The verse cited is about changing in the the creation of God۔ This means that they shall pervert the nature on which God has created man; thus they will become advocates of polytheism instead of monotheism, and then, as a result, adopt all those things which fall under the ambit of changing their nature. For example, raḥbāniyyah, brahmachārī, men trying to imitate women and vice versa, and other similar nonsensical things.
