Watching "Soul Surfer," the story of Bethany Hamilton's comeback after a shark attack, makes you long for a vivid documentary on the subject instead.
Hamilton's tale is, of course, inspiring. In 2003, when she was just 13 years old, she lost her left arm to a 14-foot (4.3-meter) tiger shark while surfing near her Hawaiian home. An up-and-comer in the sport, she wanted to get back on her board as soon as possible. A month later, she was in the water again. Now, at 21, she continues to compete professionally.

Aishah was one of the two women suggested to the Prophet (peace be upon him) as possible wives after he had suffered the loss of his first wife and life companion, Khadijah.

Khadijah gave the Prophet all the comfort and solace he needed, particularly after a full day's effort, advocating his message and meeting hostile rejection coupled with rude and insolent remarks.
