Maryam Amir – Self loathing in Ramadan

Ramadan is a super spiritual month, but it's also a month where

you might hate yourself more than you usually do. With so many

people being committed to praying and fasting and reading the Quran

and going to the masjid, you might struggle with all of that, and it

might make you feel like you're not good enough. As a believer, I

want you to stop looking at yourself in your own lens of self

hatred, and I want you to stop thinking about the way other

people might see you,

the fact that you're praying even when you struggle. What does that

mean to a Shakur the appreciative, the fact that you're still trying

to read the Quran even when you have questions? How much does Eva

Kareem, the generous love your effort. Inshallah, those people

will get so much reward too, but you have a special reward with

Allah as well. Keep going, because he sees you, he appreciates you,

and He loves when you try.
