overcoming insecurities, building confidence, hijab tips + more | islamic feelings

This particular episode has been one of the most highly requested ones I've had so far. Discussing insecurities is never an easy topic, and as individuals strive to become better and more modest Muslims, each journey should lead to a destination. Throughout this process, it's common to experience moments of insecurity and a fading sense of confidence, particularly when one's appearance sets them apart as a Muslim. Not to mention, confidence is a positive quality valued in Islam.The belief in Allah's mercy, guidance, and support can instill a sense of confidence in a Muslim's life. Moreover, Islam promotes humility, which is different from low self-confidence. Muslims are encouraged to be humble and acknowledge that all their strengths and achievements come from Allah's blessings. This understanding prevents arrogance and helps maintain a balanced sense of confidence. Insecurities may arise from societal pressures and stereotypes that some Muslims face. Negative portrayals of Muslims in the media can contribute to feelings of insecurity and alienation. Additionally, misconceptions about Islam and the fear of being judged or misunderstood by others can create internal struggles for some individuals. This episode delves precisely into this matter. - Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Islam began as something strange and will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers."
