feeling ugly

[nms]

sometimes i feel ugly too and feel that i am not worth anything.

i think every one goes though this, keep your head up and try not to be negitive with your self. that might help and pray to God that you get better and pray that all the negitive feelings go away. sorry i cant spell

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

today on the way home i saw a brother whos pigmentation was completely distorted, his skin droopy... his eyes discolored...

i took a look at him and began sending a thousand praises to Allaah.


you feel ugly?... how do they feel?

and this particular brother had a full beard... completely sunnah clothing... he seemed so pious. he was beautiful

Subahanallah, we never realize how perfect we are made
There are some who are born without limbs and are still living there lives
Most of them don’t even complain cuz they are thankful that they are still alive
Look at us, physically we are perfect, but we still complain that we are “ugly”.
What about those who don’t even have arms, or legs, or who are blind, or deaf, or dumb?
So before we start to complain, think of those who don’t have what we have. Instead of complaining, we should be thankful that we are physically perfect and that we are able to do what others can’t.

astghfor Alla ukhty or akhi.. reading threads like this make me angry, I wish I hadn't seen it..
Reflect on what you mock by alleging you are ugly.
You mock your parents who have passed their genes on to you and wanted a lovely off spring to fill their world
and you look down upon how Allah swt chose to create you (which is in the best form)
To me forgive me for saying but true ugliness comes from ingratitude..

Consider that two of my colleagues died recently to a drunk driver, and I will not write of their struggles and their lives because I think it does a precious human life injustice to sum it up in a paragraph...

Go open a window smell the fresh air and smile-- be thankful to Allah swt for creating you, giving you a chance at life, at friends, at a loving family, a working body and making you a part of this great umma.. use all your senses and think of those less fortunate if only you knew truly how many are less forunate perhaps you wouldn't waste time thinking of something so useless and superficial ..

forgive me if I were harsh.. but your post rather upset me...

I feel so ugly, and I don't know why. People have told me i'm pretty, and I even hope that I am. But I don't look as pretty as a lot of girls I come across.

I am trying my best in life and doing everything to the best level possible, I've kept my honor and dignity in check since day one...so why must i go through these insecurities?

Why am I made less good looking or not good looking at all compared to those who don't do justice to their looks?

What kind of world is this...plus I fear that I'll not meet a man I've always hoped for, my esteem has hit rock bottom, I'm beginning to settle for less. I feel so bad about this. And it's all because of my looks.

Everything is fine but this one thing ruins it!

And you might say looks eventually die but a good character and personality lives, but these days the minute a pretty woman is around men including Muslim ones, they prefer her over the better person as a whole.

I'm not suggesting I'm better than people, but I know I've made considerable effort in my life and deserve the one thing I've remained patient for...so why is this the case?

Why does God make humans like this, and then makes them suffer and unable to achieve the things we want as a reward for our hard work?

Please advice me.

You look how you look for a reason. You might not realise it now, and you may not ralise it later, but there is definitely a reason. The difference is that Allaah makes it known to some people through realisation and hides it from some people to see how grateful they will be to Him.
