Subhanallah!
Check out what this study found about the benefits of beards (despite going in with thinking the opposite!).
“Well, the researchers were surprised to find that it was the clean-shaven staff, and not the beardies, who were more likely to be carrying something unpleasant on their faces.
The beardless group were more than three times as likely to be harbouring a species known as methicillin-resistant staph aureus on their freshly shaven cheeks. MRSA is a particularly common and troublesome source of hospital-acquired infections because it is resistant to so many of our current antibiotics.”
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35350886)
And what does Islam say?!
It is reported in Bihar al-Anwar in the chapter concerning the beard (Kitab al-Mahasin) in which Imam Musa b. Ja’far, al-Kazim (as) was asked: “Is it recommended to wear the beard?” he said: “Yes”, then he was asked: “Is it permissible for one to shave one’s beard?”, Imam (as) replied: “It is permissible to shave the sides of the face where the beard grows, however, to shave the front (chin) is not permissible.”
Am sure there are many other reasons and links, but perhaps this is one of them!

“Can my child see the beauty of Islam in me?”
I love this!
“At the risk of being misunderstood, I’ll say this: A beard and hijab won’t make your child Muslim. I don’t say this to dismiss the rituals of the religion, but to put the emphasis (first) on something greater. Just as early revelation focused on the beauty and mercy of Allah, we, too, should impart the good. Then, upon that foundation, we ladle the specifics of worship, the rules and regulations that guide us on this journey. But only in love, we must do it all in love. You’d think that would be a given, but how often do we see children turned away from Islam because of harsh, unbalanced parents?”

5. Say Salaam Alaikum to fellow Muslims when out and about

14. Recite Quran out loud
15. Recite Azaan and Iqamah before Salah

18. Using examples from the lives of the Masumeen in our daily routine
19. Thanking Allah on the go (e.g. when it rains)
20. Saying Salaam to the 12th Imam every morning
21. Recite Salawat when you need something (e.g. to find something lost, get parking)
22. Make time for family and friends – whether visiting them or having them over
23. Recite Sura Yasin on a Thursday night
24. Cover your food and save it for later
25. Write a letter (ariza) to Imam Mahdi when in need
26. Look up an ayah/Jawshane Kabeer verse to be recited for specific ailments (as well as normal medicine!)
