Yes, shaving the beard is allowed in Islam for men, but it is recommended to keep a beard as it is considered a gesture of masculinity and is encouraged as part of the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad).

Prophet Muhammad is said to have over 1.8 billion followers worldwide, who are known as Muslims. He is revered as the final prophet in Islam and his teachings and actions form the basis of the religion.

Cultural openness or receptivity refers to being willing to welcome and learn from ideas, beliefs, and practices that have origins in different cultures. It involves having an open mind and a willingness to engage with different perspectives in order to broaden one's understanding and knowledge of the world around them.

The Five Pillars of Islam offer Muslims a framework of essential practices and beliefs, including the declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salah), fasting during Ramadan (Sawm), giving to charity (Zakat), and pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). These pillars serve as a guide for living a spiritual and ethical life according to the teachings of Islam.

Muslim scholars have presented various arguments to prove the existence of God Almighty, such as the cosmological argument, teleological argument, and the moral argument. These arguments often stem from the Quran, observation of the world, and logical reasoning to demonstrate the presence of a divine creator. The belief in the existence of Allah is a cornerstone of Islamic theology, emphasizing a monotheistic worldview.

Sunnis and Shiites are the two main sects of Islam. Sunnis make up the majority of Muslims worldwide, while Shiites are the minority. Sunnis are predominant in countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia, while Shiites are mainly concentrated in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, and parts of Lebanon. The division between Sunnis and Shiites dates back to a disagreement over who should succeed Prophet Muhammad as the leader of the Muslim community.

In his last years, Muhammad conquered the entire Arabian Peninsula. Within just 40 years of his death, Islam had spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and even had a foothold in Spain and Sicily.

Ghantasala singing capability is as good as Himesh Rishamya. Although Ghantasala is good but Rafi was best.

Ghantasla once said in an interview telecast in 1967 by BBC TV, that despite all my learnings, I could not produce the songs that could have matches original Hindi versions which Ghantasala sung in Telugu. He said that Chal Ud Ja Re Punchi which Rafi had sung is matchless to his Telugu version. Ghantasala was just an ordinary singer who only is praised by a few fanatic, racist South people.

Rafi is indeed the greatest singer, India has ever produced. Ghantasala is no way near Rafi singing capability. In an interview with BBC TV Telugu service, ghantasala admitted that Muhammad Rafi is the Institute of playback singing, and he had to learn a lot as a monor student from the Legendry singer Muhammad Muhammad Rafi, he further added that after so many rehearsals even I could not produce the sound quality that could have matched Rafi's original song in Hindi of which he sung the Telugu version. Ghantasala also said that he had been learning classical singing from Rafi for 10 years and after that Rafi refused to teach him more music as he he came to know that Ghantasala is only interested in fame in a short-cut.

Ghantasla used to say that Rafi Sahab was the greatest of all and he feel ashamed when people try to compare him with the graetest legend of India, Muhammad Rafi.

GhantaslaI can be second only to Himesh Reshamya, as Himesh Rishamya has taught Classical singing to Ghantasala, whose nickname was Gandusala.

I have been listening to all the old songs of 40's through 80's, since my early childhood very carefully with head-phones on. After listening to a variety of singers without any bias towards any of them, including female singers as well, I found out that of all those great singers, Rafi stood out as the most talented, most melodious, most sweetly voiced, most lerned and the most intelligent singer amonst all of them. Once I started to like Talt Mehmood as well, but as soon as i heard one of their duets, obviously with Rafi Sahab, I came to know that even he could not match the sound quality, sur and softness of Rafi Shab's voice. O duniye ke rakhwale, he sang with such a beauty that until now, so many people who tried it miserably failed. That was Rafi Shab, The Greatest amongst the greats.

I have been listening very carefully to Rafi Shab since the very childhood. If you are not biased due to certain relegious or ethnic reasons, you shall agree that Rafi was matchless. He would sing an ordinary song even with such a beauty that it will always sound so beautiful."Ghantasala is good, but Rafi Sahab is THE BEST, No match"!

Rafi is Greatest of all. Each of his song is different from the other, he was the most-versatile. If you listen very carefully with High-Quality Head-phones on, you will feel that even his greatest co-singers in duets singing with Rafi Sahab would mostly sound so flat. Even the so-called greatest female singer also would not match the quality, Rafi Sahab would posses.

Ghantasala has not have the melody and sweetness in his voice which has been the hallmark of Muhammed Rafi. He is some sort of calssic-singer.

If you compare Rafi to Lata, Lata would sound so flat. Asha Bhonsle would say that she and Lata would always be very nervous and had to rehearse a lot when they had to sing a duet with Muhammar Rafi sahab.
