Different Skin Types Explained In Urdu

Everybody wants to have a glowing and beautiful skin and use different products, herbs, and therapies to keep their skin intact. While caring for your skin is natural and should be done but even more important is the fact that you should know your type of skin before any further ado. There are five different skin types that are common among the people. Below are the five major skin types.

1-      Oily Skin

2-     Combination Skin

3-     Sensitive Skin

4-     Normal Skin

5-     Dry skin

There are certain benefits and disadvantages of having any skin type.  Oily skin is vulnerable to changing weather and change in environment. Acne and other skin related diseases common with the skin type. Avoid using creams and other beauty products if you have this skin type. Also, avoid any home-made or self-made remedy. Also avoid cold creams to keep your skin fresh.

Combination skin people face frequent problems such freckles and should avoid creams and other beauty products.  Sensitive skin is also vulnerable to several skin related problems and diseases. And people with this type of skin should also take extra caution while using skin beauty products. It is better to consult your skin specialists and follow their recommendations.

The best skin types are by normal and dry skin. People with both these skins are usually free of pimples and do not face acne and other skin related problems.  On top of that, these two skin types require less care and adapt to different weather conditions.   Both these skin types require minimum care and look best under any condition or weather.

 It is always recommended to know your skin type before going for any cosmetics, beauty products, or even surgery.  Before knowing your skin, it is far better to avoid using any facial or skin whitening cream and product for it poses the danger and risk. 

Quran verses about people who prefer dunya (world) over akhirah (Hereafter)

Allah has clearly mentioned about those who purchase the world at the cost of akhirah (Hereafter). In Quran, we can find several verses about Allah warning such people of torment (punishment in hellfire). 

This particular verse is about those who wilfully rejects Allah's commandements and consciously prefer Dunya over life-after-death. In this verse Dunya refers to kufr/rebellion against the Lord who created them. 


Surah Al Baqarah - Verse Number 86

Translation: Those are the ones who have bought the life of this world (in exchange) for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be aided. (https://quran.com/2/86-96)

English Transliteration: Ulaa-ikal-lazeenash-tarawul hayatad-dunya bil akhirah. Fala ukhaf-fafu anhumul azaabu wala hum yunsaroon

Note: This verse is not intended for the believers who take part in usual worldly affairs like working to build their life (avoiding haram of all kinds), doing marriages and taking part in other social activities. This verse is for those who are not willing to believe in the life after death and Hereafter.

Quran verses about critical thinking and using intellect/intelligence

In Quran, there is a lot of emphasis on using our thinking faculties (mind/conscious), to reach Allah and get rewards in the hereafter. Allah has created us and given us free will (aqal/shaor). Allah does not impose His will on people as this is the most intelligent way to test them for their deeds (good or evil). 
Quran verses about thinking and intellect (aqal) are mentioned with Arabic text and their English translation:


1) Surah Al-Anfal: Verse No. 22 

Translation

2) Surah Muhammad: Verse No. 24 

English Translation: Do they then ponder not over Quran, or there locks on the hearts of some of them?


3) Surah Al-Nisaa: Verse No. 82

English Translation: Then do they not ponder in Quran and if it had been from other than Allah, then they would surely have found therein much discrepancy (Surah Al-Nisaa - verse no. 82) 


4) Surah Al Furqan: Verse No. 44

English Translation: Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not but like cattle. Rather they are (even) more astray in (their) way (Surah Al Furqan - Verse no. 44)

When our thinking faculties are used with sincerity (to find the truth and the courage to accept it no matter how much it conflicts with our long-held anti-Creator beliefs), Allah systematically and intelligently brings us the right information needed to know Him.
