Are you tired of feeling like you’re never good enough? That no matter how hard you try, you’re always falling short? Girl, you are NOT alone. We all feel this way sometimes. But what if I told you that the best advice about loving yourself comes from none other than our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? Yes, you heard that right! Here are three powerful lessons from Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) about self-love that can transform your life.
1. You Are More Precious Than You Think
Do you know what makes you valuable? It’s not your looks, grades, or how many followers you have on social media. It’s your character, your heart, and your intentions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Indeed, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and deeds.” (Sahih Muslim)
Let that sink in. Your worth is measured by your purity of heart and good deeds. So, start valuing yourself for who you truly are. Forget society’s superficial standards. Remind yourself every day that you are valuable beyond measure, because Allah sees what’s in your heart.
2. Forgive Yourself And Move On
We all make mistakes. But guess what? The best of people are those who learn and grow from their mistakes. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) taught us the beauty of repentance and moving forward. He said:
“All the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent.” (Tirmidhi)
So, why are you so hard on yourself? Everyone stumbles. It’s okay. What matters is getting back up. Forgive yourself, make sincere repentance, and strive to do better. That’s real strength and self-love.
3. Take Care Of Your Mind And Body
The Prophet (PBUH) emphasized the importance of taking care of our health — both mental and physical. He said:
“Your body has a right over you.” (Bukhari)
Loving yourself means treating your body with respect. Eat well, exercise, rest, and most importantly, nurture your soul with remembrance of Allah (SWT). When you take care of your mind and body, you’re actually fulfilling a Sunnah and practicing self-love the way the Prophet (PBUH) taught us.
The Bottom Line
Self-love isn’t about being arrogant or selfish. It’s about recognizing your worth, forgiving yourself, and taking care of your mind, body, and soul. So, why not start today?
