Before answering your question, let us make clear that the Nation of Islam (NOI) is not, nor has it ever been connected to the global faith of Islam. The faith of Islam believes in a transcendent God who is above His creation. The NOI maintains that God is a black man who appeared on the streets of Detroit, Michigan. For proof, refer to the 'Final Call' website, and type in 'point #12.'
The faith of Islam maintains that The Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah of Arabia, who died over 1430 years ago, is the last Prophet and Messenger to all mankind. The NOI on the other hand, claim that the late Elijah Muhammad of Chicago is the last Messenger. Furthermore, the faith of Islam maintains that Islam is for all people. The NOI holds that Islam is for blacks alone. Louis Farrakhan, the current NOI leader, maintains NOI concepts.
As for the reason NOI men shave, this is based on a directive from Elijah Muhammad forbidding his followers from the wearing of beards. Simply refer to the Muhammad Speaks website to view his decree.
This of course runs counter to the practice of the global faith of Islam whose followers wear beards in accordance with the teachings of all of the Prophets, from Adam to Moses to Muhammad ibn Abdullah (may Gods peace be upon them all).
