36M here and I find beards / facial hair absolutely cringe. I feel like everyone has just gone for the 'I can't be bothered to shave' look for convenience. Especially desi guys, it's like a uniform now.

Anybody else feel the same?

Nope, I love my beard Alhamdulillah! For me it’s not a fashion statement or reflection of being lazy, it’s a religious commitment.

Yeah bro! Clean shaven look is what white privileged wanted us to think was professional.

Facial hair has nothing to do with professionalism. Neither is wearing a suit or a tie. I bought into that and soon realized that none of that matters. Looking like you take pride in your appearance and how you handle yourself is important. No one care about that Brooks Brothers ideal anymore.

Just to clarify. No one here is supporting a James Harden beard.

Well manicured facial hair can be a moustache, goatee, chin strap, stubble, full beard, etc.

PS. Most women I met also like some sort of facial hair. Muslim or not.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
