Whats so difficult about it? Infact, all you have to do is ‘NOT SHAVE’, which by the way will save you atleast 10-15 minutes every day, its actually being properly groomed, and good looking, thats the difficult part. Beard is easy.

Then you have yet to walk through an airport with one.
I’m not a man so the beard thing doesn’t apply but I can see where the difficulties arise. When you have a beard the way people think about you changes, in countries abroad people will think of you as wrongly affliated with terrorist groups and in Pakistan you are no longer ‘modern’ which puts you right at the bottom of societys hierarchy.
There’s bound to be problems in the work place as well, for those that don’t keep beards the least you can do is respect the effort and commitment that goes into it; he is doing so so for the sake of his love for the Prophet (pbuh) and his efforts should therefore not be belittled.
I’m sure I heard a hadith somewhere where the Prophet (pbuh) stated that in the last times holding onto religion will be harder than holding on to a ball of fire, I don’t think anyone here will diagree with the fact that we aren’t far off said ‘last times’.
