From an Islamic perspective, Dan, the concept of worthiness is closely tied to one’s relationship with Allah (God). 🏵️🏵️🏵️

Muslims believe that Allah is the ultimate judge of a person's worthiness, and that true worthiness comes from pleasing Him through obedience and good deeds.

In Islam, there is a concept called khushu' (spiritual humility), which encourages Muslims to recognize their own weaknesses and shortcomings before Allah, and to strive to improve themselves through self-reflection and self-criticism.

This is different from the concept of self-deprecation, which involves belittling oneself excessively and unnecessarily.

Muslims are encouraged to avoid comparing themselves to others, as this can lead to feelings of inadequacy and envy.

Instead, they are encouraged to focus on their own personal growth and development, and to strive to be the best version of themselves that they can be.

In Islamic teachings, rejection and criticism are seen as opportunities for growth and self-reflection, rather than as threats to one’s worthiness.

Muslims are encouraged to accept criticism constructively, and to use negative feedback as a means of improving themselves.

Here are some verses and hadiths that shed light on this concept:

"Verily, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves" (Quran,13:11).

This verse highlights the importance of personal transformation in achieving true worthiness before Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth but rather looks at your heart" (Bukhari).

This hadith emphasizes that true worthiness comes from within, rather than from external factors.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: "Whoever seeks after knowledge seeks after an honorable position with Allah" (Muslim).

This hadith highlights the importance of seeking knowledge and self-improvement as means of achieving true worthiness before Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The most beloved deed according to Allah is that which is most consistent even if it is small" (Bukhari).

This hadith emphasizes that true worthiness comes from consistent good deeds rather than grand gestures.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: 🏵️

"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear" (Quran,2:286). 🏵️

This verse and hadith highlight the importance of recognizing one's own limitations and striving to improve within those limits.

Overall, the Islamic perspective on worthiness emphasizes the importance of pleasing Allah, rather than seeking external validation or approval from others.

Muslims are encouraged to focus on their own personal growth and self-improvement, and to recognize that true worthiness comes from within, rather than from external factors.
