You Are Worthy.

Written by najma on . Posted in Uncategorized.

You are worthy because Allah created you. Because you are one of His creatures.
Because He knows your name.
As human beings we sometimes struggle with our feelings of worthiness and perceptions of our own value.
We see someone who has ‘more’ than us and we feel less than. We look at his big house, his four wheel drive and his gadgets and we feel less than.
We see someone who has ‘accomplished’ more than us and we feel less than.
We are awed by his multiple university degrees, or his lofty job title or the powerful people he knows and we feel less than.
A lucrative career does not make someone worthier and neither do excellent grades or being multilingual or being “gorgeous.”
Just know that you are worthy just by being you.
Ladies, take note- you do not have to look a certain way or look like someone else or take off your hijab to be worthy.
You do not have to torture yourself with toxic chemicals because you desire to keep up with the Khateebs or the Alwis. You do not have to be a certain weight or a certain skin tone. You do not have to impress anyone to feel valuable.
You are priceless just the way you are.
Parents, take note….your child does not have to bring home straight A’s or win academic awards for you to be proud of him. He is deserving of it just the way he is. Your child does not have to bend over backwards or reinvent the wheel or come out at the top of his respective class for him to be worthy of your love. Put no conditions on your love.
Love him for who he is.
Young people take note. You do not have to smoke, do drugs, skip school to be worthy of your ‘friends’ or to fit in.
You deserve friends who will hang out with you for who you really are.
Gentlemen, take note. You do not have to compete with others to be worthy. You do not have to waste the precious hours of your life trying to prove that you can be more than , have more than or be just like that man you envy and admire.
You are worthy whatever salary you make, whatever you use for transportation, however old your electronics are and even if she is the only wife you have.
You are worthy.
For those of us who are so very abundantly blessed, you can have all that you are blessed to have without believing somebody else deserves it more.
You can learn to be grateful for Allah’s gifts and blessings on you without feeling guilty for having them.
Can you not see that in itself is disbelief and a lack of faith?
It might be a challenging feat learning and accepting that we are worthy. Allah loves us and blesses us in so many ways and that in itself should teach us that we are worthy.
Our worthiness is not defined by age or beauty or net worth or achievements. The more we place emphasis on these things the more people will fall into self loathing and a sense of not fitting in.
You are worthy, dear reader. You are worthy. You have been worthy since the day you were born and your father gave you your name. You are worthy.
You are worthy of all that is good and safe and blessed. You are worthy of great health and prosperity. You have no need to apologise for yourself or your uniqueness which the Almighty bestowed on you. You are worthy. You are worthy.
Say it with me. I AM WORTHY.
