Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

They say, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ Islam teaches us that the real beauty is the beauty of character. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Allah does not look at your shape or appearance; rather He looks at your heart (and your actions).”

 

So, as a believer, you should never despise yourself. No matter how you look, you are still valuable in the sight of Allah as long as you are truthful and faithful to Allah. Remember Islamic history is full of people who were considered less than handsome and yet they were valued as real heroes, leaders, and exemplars.

 

So, I would urge you to change your self-talk and convince yourself that you are valuable. So, be confident and change your self-talk and you will soon realize that people will start treating you differently. The best way to prove your worth is by excelling in your work and character. You can hope that it will bring you the acceptance of Allah and the people.

So, never give up on marriage. Perhaps by changing your self-talk and proving your worth through your actions and character, you will attract marriage partners with the help of Allah. So, believe in Allah and believe in yourself; Allah can make miracles happen.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
