Prophets(Aliahi Salam) are Sinless
Let us see the Tafsir of the aayat “17:39”
[Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah says: `What We have commanded you to do is part of good manners, and what We have forbidden you are evil qualities. We have revealed this to you, O Muhammad, so that you may command the people likewise.’
﴿وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَى فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا﴾
(And set not up with Allah any other god lest you should be thrown into Hell, blameworthy) meaning, your own self will blame you, as will Allah and His creation.
﴿مَّدْحُورًا﴾
(rejected) means far removed from everything good. Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah said: “(It means) cast out.” This is an address to the Ummah via the Messenger , for he is infallible.(Sinless)
Sahih Al Bukhari

Volume: 6, Book Number: 60, Hadith Number: 361
Narrated Aisha: The Prophet used to offer prayer at night (for such a long time) that his feet used to crack. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why do you do it since Allah has forgiven you your faults of the past and those to follow?” He said, “Shouldn’t I love to be a thankful slave (of Allah)?’ When he became old, he prayed while sitting, but if he wanted to perform a bowing, he wound get up, recite (some other verses) and then perform the bowing.
ALLAH AND HIS PROPHET (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) KNOW THE BEST!
Sahaba used this phrase very often
In my view it is perfectly legal to use this phrase as it was frequently used by the companions of the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). This phrase has been used at least several dozens of times in Bukhari and Muslim alone. In fact in the very first Hadith of Muslim, Hazrat Umar (RA) used this phrase.
Here are some examples from Bukhari only:
1. They (i.e. the delegate from the tribe of Rabi’a) said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” (Bukhari 9 : 91 : 371)
2. On that ‘Umar wept and said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” (Bukhari 8 : 74 : 276)
3. On that, ‘Umar’s eyes became flooded with tears and he said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.“ (Bukhari 9 : 84 : 72)
4. I (i.e. Mu’adh bin Jabal) replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” (Bukhari 7 : 72 : 850)
5. Abu Talha said, “O Um Sulaim! Allah’s Apostle has come and we have no food to feed them.” Um Sulaim said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” So Abu Talha went out (to receive them) till he met Allah’s Apostle. (Bukhari 8 : 78 : 679)
6. I (i.e. Mu’adh bin Jabal replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” The Prophet said, “Not to punish them (if they do so).” (Bukhari 9 : 93 : 470)
7. Narrated Abu Dharr: I entered the mosque while Allah’s Apostle was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet said, “O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this (sun) goes?” I said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” (Bukhari 9 : 93 : 520)
8. Later I (i.e. Umar bin Al-Khattab) was astonished at my daring to speak like that to Allah’s Apostle and Allah and His Apostle know best. (Bukhari 6 : 60 : 193 )
9. Once I was with the Prophet in the mosque at the time of sunset. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dharr! Do you know where the sun sets?” I (Abu Dharr) replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” (Bukhari 6 : 60 : 326)
Should we use the word “know” or “knew”?
Some members have suggested that as Allah’s Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is no longer with us so we should use the word “knew” for him. This however is not required. The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is alive in his grave (as is the aqida of Ahl-us-Sunnah including the Deobandi school). But even if someone does not believe in this (as perhaps Salafis don’t believe it) even then they believe him to be alive in Barzakh. In any case he is alive and there is no assumption that his knowledge has been taken away from him. What ever he knew then (in Sahaba’s time) he must be knowing it now. So there is no need to replace the word “know” with “knew”.
Is this phrase a comparison between Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم)?
Some one will say whether this phrase constitutes a comparison between Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). Certainly not! This is a common misconception that many people have. No creation, including the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم), can be compared with the Creator. So even in such phrases (where a conjunction of “and” is used between them) there is no comparison.
This phrase DOES NOT mean that the knowledge of Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is equal in any sense (Na Uzu Billah). According to my knowledge it is no one’s aqida (including Brailvis). We can use the same word for Allah and His creation though the meanings of the same word would be different when used in the context of creation or The Creator. So, the phrase “knows best” when used for Allah is in different meaning and when used for the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is in different meaning.
In fact Ibn-e-Taymiya has enumerated a long list of words which are originally the names of Allah but are also used for His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) (even without conjunction).
If you are still unsure, I can quote examples from Quran to illustrate my point.
Joining names of Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) in the light of Quran
Someone said that he would prefer not to use this phrase in conjunction with Allah. One must see that our whole Deen is based on the use of such conjunctions. When someone gives Shahada (to enter in Islam), he uses these names in conjunction. These 2 names come side by side in first Kalama, azan, prayer and almost every important Islamic proclamation.
Similarly there are numerous verses of Quran where Allah has put his name along with His Messenger (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). I am providing a few examples of such usage from Quran (though the actual number is much more than that). You are requested to see the variety of situations in which such conjunction has been used (I have quoted only one example for one situation/context):
1 Aid: … and aiding Allah and His Messenger: such are indeed the sincere ones… (059:008)

14 Devout in service of: But any of you that is devout in the service of Allah and His Messenger… (033:031)
15 Disobey: But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger … (004:014)

21 League before: How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans… (009:007)
22 Notice of war from: If ye do it not, Take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger… (002:279)
23 Obey: And obey Allah and His Messenger; and fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart… (008:046)
24 Oppose: Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell? … (009:063)

34 Show faith in: … ye may show your faith in Allah and His Messenger… (058:004)
35 Summoned to: “The answer of the Believers, when summoned to Allah and His Messenger… (024:051)
36 War: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger… (005:033)
37 Will observe: … It is your actions that Allah and His Messenger will observe… (009:094)
In a nutshell
1. If we join the names of Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) in one phrase, there is no comparison intended between the two. The Creator is not comparable to ANY of His creations.
2. Quran has joined the names of Allah and His Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) in dozens of different senses at (probably) hundreds of places. This kind of joining pleases Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala because He has joined these names in Shahada, first kalama, azan, prayer and other such places.
AND ALLAH AND HIS PROPHET (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) KNOW THE BEST!

Beard (Islamic Perspective)
According to my limited knowledge keeping beard is Wajib whereas to let it be is Sunnah, because on many occasions the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has himself ordered to trim beards of Sahaba (i.e. It is proven from Marfu ahadith to trim the beard) and sahaba have done it on their own too (i.e. It is proven from Mawquf ahadith too)
Hadith #1
Book 002, Number 0498: (Sahih Muslim)
Ibn Umar said: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Trim closely the moustache, and let the beard grow.
Hadith # 2
Book 002, Number 0500: (Sahih Muslim)
Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be opon him) said: Act against the polytheists, trim closely the moustache and grow beard.
However in other ahadith the Prophet (Peace be upon him) did not like “outrageous beards” and told to groom it
Hadith # 3
Book 51, Number 51.2.7: (Muwatta Imam Malik)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn Yasar told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was in the mosque when a man came in with dishevelled hair and beard. The Messenger of Allah. may Allah bless him and grant him peace, motioned with his hand that he should be sent out to groom his hair and beard. The man did so and then returned. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Isn’t this better than that one of you should come with his head dishevelled, as if he were a shaytan?”
So Let it Be as taught in many other ahadith is understood by the condition that one does not look notorious and the beard does not grow wild
Hadith #4
Book 20, Number 20.59.199:(Muwatta)
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that when Salim ibn Abdullah intended to go into ihram he would call for some scissors and trim his moustache and beard before setting off and before going into ihram.
Hadith #5
Book 20, Number 20.59.196: (Muwatta)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to trim his beard and moustache when he shaved at the end of a hajj or umra.
___
The condition of not resembling the Mushrikeen would be met by keeping beard which is not a stubble but decent sized, some people are very rigid in this regard and compare other Muslims to polytheists but we know that today even hardcore priests, Hindu Pandits, Orthodox Jews have long beards.
According to strict opinion in Hanafi school “IT IS WAJIB” to keep atleast a “Fistful” beard, more than that is also fair.
According to Imam Shafi’i (rah) keeping beard is necessary , whereas later scholars like Imam Ibn hajr al Haythami they consider it “disliked” to cut or trim the beard.
According to Hanbli school beard is to be left.
According to Maliki school the opinion is what is mentioned in Muwatta Imam Malik as was shown above.
May Allah forgive me if I made any mistakes, I am not an authority, therefore people following sounder opinion would be more correct in this regard.

How to behave with animals & plants?
This is a thread of the GRI (i.e. Golden Islamic Rules) series. More would follow Inshallah.
Islam, the religion of peace, has taught us to behave well even with the animals:
1. Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) narrates that Allah’s Apostle (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلھ وسلم) said, “While a man was walking on a road he became very thirsty. Then he came across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself “This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as I did.” So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?” He said, “(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being).” (Bukhari Vol. 8, Book 73, No. 38)
2. Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) narrates that Allah’s Apostle (SAW) said, “One should not prevent others from watering their animals with the surplus of his water…“ (Bukhari Vol.9, Book 86, No. 92)
3. Hazrat Ans (RA) narrates that the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلھ وسلم) said, “If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity.” ( Bukhari Vol. 8, Book 73, No. 41)
4. Hazrat Abu Qatada (RA) narrates: A funeral procession passed by Allah’s Apostle (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلھ وسلم) who said, “Relieved or relieving?” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is relieved and relieving?” He said, “A believer is relieved (by death) from the troubles and hardships of the world and leaves for the Mercy of Allah, while (the death of) a wicked person relieves the people, the land, the trees, (and) the animals from him.“ (Bukhari Vol. 8, Book 76, No. 519)
.
5. Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “A lady was punished because of a cat which she had imprisoned till it died. She entered the (Hell) Fire because of it, for she neither gave it food nor water as she had imprisoned it, nor set it free to eat from the vermin of the earth.” (Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 56, Hadith 689)
6. Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas’ud: We were with the Apostle of Allah (SAW) during a journey. He went to ease himself. We saw a bird with her two young ones and we captured her young ones. The bird came and began to spread its wings. The Apostle of Allah (SAW) came and said: Who grieved this for its young ones? Return its young ones to it. He also saw an ant village that we had burnt. He asked: Who has burnt this? We replied: We. He said: It is not proper to punish with fire except the Lord of fire. (Abu Dawud Book 14, Hadith 2669)
7. Sa’id b. Jubair reported that Ibn ‘Umar happened to pass by some young men of the Quraish who had tied a bird (and made it a target) at which they had been shooting arrows. Every arrow that they missed came into the possession of the owner of the bird. So no sooner did they see Ibn ‘Umar they went away. Thereupon Ibn ‘Umar said: Who has done this? Allah has cursed him who does this.Verily Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) invoked curse upon one who made a live thing the target (of one’s marksmanship).(Muslim Book 21, Hadith 4816)
4. Jabir b. Abdullah reported: Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) visited the orchard of Umm Ma’sud and said: Umm Ma’bad. he who has planted this tree, is he a Muslim or a non-Muslim? She said: Of course, he is a Muslim, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said:No Muslim who plants (trees) and from their fruits the human beings or the beasts or birds eat, but that would be taken as an act of charity on the Day of Resurrection. (Muslim Book 10, Hadith 3767)
