The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was regarded was “the best example to follow” for a human being because of his excellence of character, conduct, matters, and overall lifestyle. Muslims look up to the way he lived his life because his actions truly mirrored the purity of his heart. Actions of our beloved Prophet are referred to as "Sunnah." These lifestyle tips can be easily implemented into anyone’s routine, and the benefits are endless!

1. Smiling

Perhaps the easiest tip of them all, smiling is something that can truly change your mood and the mood of people around you in a positive way. It's truly amazing to see the positive effects of simply contorting your facial muscles upwards. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the body that is responsible for the stability of the mood and general happiness. Smiling stimulates hormone, thus resulting in a happier mood. So the next time something good happens to you or you see something that you like, show off them pearly whites!

2. Sleeping early and waking up early.


3. Maintaining ties with family

Our busy schedules may not permit time to actually sit down and have a meal, but there are benefits to consider in doing so. When we sit down to eat, we pay more attention to what it is we're consuming, thus leading to healthier choices and less weight gain. Drinking while sitting down allows the body to be properly hydrated and replenished in a comfortable position, as the stomach contorts differently while we sit or stand.

5. Meditation


Meditation doesn't have to mean sitting in a pretty field of marigold with incense burning in the background! Simply taking five to ten minutes out of your day and just sitting in silence and reflecting on your actions is all it takes to have a more clear perspective on your life. The Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) would regularly go to the Cave of Hira to distance himself from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Meditation allows you to let go of negativity and stress in your body and mind.

That wasn't so bad, was it? Continue to take care of yourself and those around you!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
