There was a man taking a morning walk on the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing?

There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."

What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't we?

Detox – spiritual detox/ de – stress

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "He who constantly seeks forgiveness, Allah will show him a way out of every distress, a relief from every grief and will provide for him with such means of sustenance that he could never imagine."

Facial – face lightening/radiance

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam has said: A person who recites Laa Ilaha Illalah 100 times daily, will on the day of Qiyaamat be raised with his face shining like the moon and none can surpass him in excellence on that day except one who recites this Kalimah more."

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Salaah is a charm of the face, a light of the heart and a refreshment for the body."

Facelift

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "A smiling face is charity."

A smile is the cheapest and safest facelift.

Anti – Ageing/good health

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "May Allah keep healthy and fresh one who hears my saying, learns it and conveys it as he heard."

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Make it a practice to fast; you will always enjoy good health."

Oral hygiene/ beautiful teeth

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said with regards to the Miswaak: "It cleanses and sweetens the mouth and checks its bad smell and it straightens the gums."

Exercise

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "A strong person is not he who overpowers his opponent but he who controls his anger."

The messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to go swimming.

Relaxation

"Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam liked to walk about in the gardens to which He sometimes went for relaxation."

Hydrotherapy

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Anyone who performs Wudhu correctly, his sins will be removed from his body, even removed from under his nails."

Manicure

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Make it a point to make Zikr (Glorify Allah) counting on your fingers, because the fingers will also be questioned on the day of Qiyaamat about the deeds performed by them and will speak out what they did."

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "10 characteristics belong to the religion of Islam (two of them is) cutting the nails and washing the finger joints (to remove the dirt that usually accumulates there)."

Pedicure

Abu Muslim narrates: I went to see Abu Umaamah Rahmatullah Alaihima while he was in the Masjid. I asked him if had really heard Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam saying, "When a person performs Wudhu with right performance and then says his Fardh Salaah, Allah forgives him all the sins committed that day by his feet in going towards evil…..?" He replied, By Allah I have heard these words from Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam again and again.

Exfoliate

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Verily when a Muslim performs an excellent Wudhu and then offers five times Salaah; his sins are shed off (his body) just as these leaves fall off (This tree in autumn)."

Beautiful eyelashes

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Apply Kuhl (antimony/surma) regularly as it clears the sight makes the lashes grow."

Beauty tips

For attractive lips...speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes...seek out the good in people
For a slim figure...share your food with the hungry and busy yourself in prayer
For beautiful hair...expose it only to those whom Allah Ta'aala has allowed exposure
For posture...walk with knowledge, sit with humility and pay attention to character nurture.

Could we ask for a more complete and perfect example?
