Re: Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani & IsLam
I think you are basing your view on a picture which was taken 120 years ago. It is black and white and is not clear enough to assume that the moustache was not trimmed enough. The way I see it, there is nothing contrary to Sunnah in this particular picture or for this matter in all other picutres. I think there are 4 or 5 known pictures of Promised Messiah (as). I have seen pictures of many companions of Promised Messiah (as) and it is clear from their appearance that none of them used razors to trim their moutaches. The purpose of the Hadith was to ensure that muslims kept the hair away from the upper lip. Through personal experience I can say that moutache which is kept above the lip by occasional trimming does not interfere with drinking water if you drink from a glass.
And as for styling your facial hair, there is no restriction on how much you take off with razors to sculpt your beard and moustache to your liking. It should look decent atleast.
