uff..i think this is where the confusion began.....beard&religion......
how can a beard bring someone closer to religion...I thought the fear of Allah Ta'ala and the desire to satisfy HIM...brought you closer to him....how can keeping a beard make you a good muslim...i am still wondering.....

Could be different cases:
- He believes beard is wajib, and so inshallah he will be rewarded for this
- He believes beard is mustahab or sunnah, and so inshallah he will be rewarded for this
- He doesnt believe beard is wajib but believes shaving it all off is makrooh, so he wants to avoid shaving, and so inshallah he will be rewarded for this
- He loves the Prophet pbuh and wants to do whatever he can to follow his example and be like him, act like him etc, since he sees the Prophet pbuh as his ideal role model
Merely "keeping a beard" is in itself not enough to "make someone a good Muslim", I dont think anyone suggested that it was
