Lecture 11: Understanding Self-Worth: Insights and Reflections for Modern Muslims

Loving and Living the Quran

As salāmu alaykum and welcome to Loving and Living the Qur'an, a podcast dedicated to practical spirituality for modern Muslims. In this episode, we dive into the theme of self-esteem, a topic we've been exploring throughout this month of Adha.

Self-esteem, or self-worth, is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being. It shapes how we perceive ourselves, handle life's challenges, and interact with the world. When we feel good about ourselves, we can face difficulties with confidence and resilience. Conversely, low self-esteem can make life's challenges feel even more daunting.

Join us as we discuss:

• What self-esteem is and why it matters.
• How past experiences and external factors can impact our self-worth.
• Practical ways to build and nurture a healthy sense of self-esteem.
• Insights from the Qur'an on our inherent value and worth.

We'll also address common obstacles like the inner critic that holds us back and explore how understanding our intrinsic worth, as highlighted in the Qur'an, can transform our lives.
