In islam, it is recommended that muslim people grow their beards and trim their mustache. Growing a mustache isn't a religeous thing it's just a cultural habit. i hope this enlightens you. Peace.

well if one reads the Torah, Zabur, Bible-Injil and Sunnah -- one can know that ALL prophets had a CUSTOM of a beard and mustache that was trimmed, that is why Muslim men have beards. but not all of Muslim men have them too. well it is surprising you only posed this questions to Muslims when people of other faith have moustaches and beards too.
it is a custom not a command.

Not all muslims were a mustashio. As a matter of fact there are some that wear facial hair in the style common to Amish.

I hate to shave my mustache every day because it heart my skin and I feel it burning so I prefer to leave my mustache but trim.

It is not recommended to grow long Mustaches in Islam. Muslims are encouraged to have a decent and well kept beard and trim mustaches. Those who are having long mustaches are not following Islam in this respect.
Excellent question!. Muslims fast this entire month from dawn to sun set. During this time they are not only supposed to refrain frm eating, drinking and smoking but also they must control their tongue, their eyes, their hands and their minds from evil thoughts. They must be very polite, very caring, very sharing and feed the poor and hungry after they break fast. They must also pay charity. They do read a lot of Quran this month and attend special prayers called Trawih in night where each day they listen to 1/30th of Quran so inone month they finish the entire Quran. Ther are hundreds fo thousnads of Huffaz who remember entire Quran from A to Z. if they make a single mistake of a letter or word, immediately they are corrected by someone behind. Literally in millions of Masajid (Mosques) throughout the world same Quran is read by heart. There is not a difference of a single letter. Interestingly Quran was revealed 1450 years ago and it is still protected in its original langauge and it is as fresh today as on day one. This ithe last and the final edition of all divine books and sicne it is the last, The God promised in Quran that He will protect it and no one can change it. Fro lat 1450 years Quran has stood the test. Every Muslim rmember some partof Quran and children as young as six, seven years memroize the entire Quran by heart in about 12-18 months which itself is a miracle. Astonishingly many those who memroize do not have Arabic as their mother tongue. Muslims fast the entire month as Jews and Christians (When they were Muslims) used to fast. Unfortunately both Jews and Christians not only forgot their book of God but also forgot their original name and the name of their religion i.e. the religion of Moses and Jesus (Peace be upn them). Teh word Jews was adopted from the anem of a powerful tribe Judea and the word Christian was taken from the enemies of Jesus (PBUH) who ridiculed followers of Jesus as Christians. Unfortaunatley when Rabi Paul became powerful, hte followers of Jesus left most of the teachings of Jesus and started worhsipping him, quite in contradiction to teachings of Jesus (PBUH) who never, never claimed to be a god or son of God, The one and only God is not a human being and is free of all weaknesses, aging etc. and He does not need any children and He has no wife. Jesus will deny as Quran says on the day of judgement that he ever told people to worhsip him. He has always asked people to worhsip one and only God.
Muslims give thanks to the God by fasting for giving them the Quran. Muslims also thank and fast fro two days on 9th and 10th Muharram of Hijri Muslim calender when Allah (The God, in Arabic) rescued Moses and his followers. Of course Muslims consider all Prophets and Messengers of Allah as Muslims menaing obedient to the God and consider their religion as Islam too. Muslims beleive in all the true Prophets and in all their original books e.g. Torah and Injeel of Moses and Jesus respectively.

I'm not a guy (obviously!) but some Muslim guys grow beards to follow Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as he was remembered to have kept a beard/moustache. They are just trying to emulate someone they look up to.
It is not a religious requirement to grow a beard.
