A qualified Muslim medical worker from India immigrated to Canada to live a better life. This Muslim brother had a beard. He applied to many different places for a job and was called for interviews. Though he was highly qualified for the jobs, the interviewers hesitated to hire him because of his beard. One by one, he was rejected from all the companies. One interviewer actually mentioned to him indirectly that his beard was an obstacle to getting the job.
Truly, it was a big test for him from Almighty Allah. Hopeless and exhausted, the Muslim brother decided to remove the obstacle, which was to shave off his beard. Then he returned to that company and requested for another interview. When the interviewer saw him without a beard this time, he refused to give him the job again. The Muslim brother became confused and asked to know the reason. The interviewer said "If you are not faithful to your Almighty Allah, how will you be faithful to us?"
This true incident was narrated to us by a friend who personally knows this Muslim brother, however, his identity will remain private. In reality, obeying the commandments of Almighty Allah does not bring failure. In the beginning, we may face various problems, but the end results will be very sweet. Prophet of Allah (SAW) also faced many problems in the beginning, but in the end, he saw how hundreds and thousands of people turned towards Almighty Allah for his steadfastness.
