‘need a letter to not shave’

Q: i need a letter to not shave my beard for work

Time: December 9, 2013 at 1:18 AM

 

Answer/letter:

Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake

972-6555

To whom it may concern:

Islam is a religion that is linked to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Each of the prophets (peace be upon them all) belonging to these religions had beards. Muslims are called upon to emulate the ways of the prophet (peace be upon them all.)

Based on the above, if you would allow this employee to keep a beard, it would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

Muhammed Shoayb (imaam)
