Trimming an uneven beard

Q: I live in Pakistan. In the community I live, its pretty modern. I'm 17 and have beard which do not fully cover the face. The problem is that its is out of shape. On the side burn and under face its is too much, while on the cheek there is nothing. People usually mock me. Am I allowed to cut the extra hairs, Not shaving until the beard totally covers my face and then start growing it on level base. My father is posted to capital of Country which most advance area as well as modern. All my old friends live there. When they will see me with disordered beard, they will surely mock me.

Uttering statements that lead to kufr

Q: Recently I have heard one scholars speech regarding kalima e kufr (saying bad words about Islam even in a joking way) can cause an individual to become a kafir and his nikah will break.

Actually my wife used to make comments about my beard some times that she doesnt like it and it doesnt suit me. The scholar said that saying this will make her a kafir (in the video).

Please suggest whether my nikah is valid and if not then how do I renew my nikah.

Muslims cycling

Q: It is this time of the year when a few bicycle races take place. E.g. Argus, Tour Durban, etc. Many Muslim people with big beards etc. take part in these. It is done with thousands of people all scantily dressed. Some so called pious Muslims claim it is exercise and that they lower their gaze. Allah Ta’ala knows best how they avoid accidents like that.

1. Is it permissible to take part in a cycle race?

2. On a weekly basis to cycle as a group, early in the morning, along a similar route, would that be permissible?

Mocking someone's beard

Q:

1. I have one uncle whose beard has only few hairs. I had made fun of his beard saying that his beard has few strands of thread... I was actually making fun of his beard, not the sunnah... Also I did not know at that time that we should not make fun of beard... Did I do kufr? If yes, what should I do?

2. Some people call him chinese... did they also do kufr?
