Islam is not about hijab or nikab and growing long goaty beard. Those who think so are seriously mislead and mistaken. Islam has nothing to do with such traditional personal choices and practices. 

There is not a single Aya in the Holy Qur'an that says that you should or must grow beard. Instead, the Qur'an say to men to lower their gaze and be modest and to women to lower their gaze too and cover their chest to not reveal their bosoms (breasts). 


“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do”. sūrat l-nūr Verse (24:30) 

“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment”… sūrat l-nūr Verse (24:31).

Islam is about believing in Allah (swt), the creator and sustainer of all worlds and associating no partner with Him, believing in His books, His messengers, His angels and on the day of judgement, worshipping Him alone 5 times a day, 7 days a week, fasting in the month of Ramdan, performing hajj (if one can afford it), paying the Zakat (the poor due), earning Hilal Rizq (food and sustenance, earned legally through hard work, without cheating, kickbacks and bribery), standing up firm for justice and fairness, working for peace and harmony and respecting and honoring each other's opinion and beliefs without any discrimination, bullying and coercion.
