Alikom Assalaam Wr.
Firstly, may Allaah reward you with good for following the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) .
Secondly, shaving the beard is haraam, and letting it grow is obligatory . Obedience to the Creator takes precedence over obedience to any created being, even the closest of relatives. What happened to some who have beard was, in most cases, because of provocation on their part, not just because they let their beards grow; it also happened to some of those who shave their beards. You must be steadfast in your adherence to the truth, and continue to let your beard grow in obedience to Allaah and in order to earn His pleasure, even if His creatures are angry. You must also avoid the sources of trouble, and put your trust in Allaah, hoping that He will provide a way out for you. Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings): “… And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allaah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed, Allaah has set a measure for all things” [al-Talaaq 65:2-3] and, “…and whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him. That is the Command of Allaah, which He has sent down to you, and whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will remit his sins from him and will enlarge his reward.” [al-Talaaq 65:5].Shaving the beard is haraam because of the saheeh ahaadeeth that clearly state this, and because of the general application of texts that forbid resembling the kuffaar. One of these reports is the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Be different from the mushrikeen: let your beards grow and trim your moustaches.” According to another report: “Trim your moustaches and let your beards grow.” There are other hadeeth which convey the same meaning, which is to leave the beard as it is and let it grow long, without shaving, plucking or cutting any part of it. Ibn Hazm reported that there was scholarly consensus that it is an obligation (fard) to trim the moustache and let the beard grow. He quoted a number of ahaadeeth as evidence, including the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) quoted above.
What your Ustaz said about the beard ,if he means that the beard is not fard ( obligatory), then he is absolutely wrong ,because of all proofs has ben mentioned above.
And what your Ustaz (Teacher) said that you are doing sin through having beard is very strange and and clear wrong, actually your Ustaz has to fear Allah and obey His messenger, instead of encourging muslims to shave his beard, he is acting againest what the prophet said,and he have to repent to Allah ,becuse what he said is a major sin.
You are making Daawah by leaving your beard growing, you are obeing the order of the prophet (PBU) ,and you are obeing Allah (SWT) by obeing his messenger (PBU).
So , do not listen to the ignorants, and be patiant ,may Allah (SWT) reward you and guide your Ustaz , ameen.
