How valuable are you?

You are a unique person, rare and precious. No matter who you have become lately, no matter how the world has treated you, no matter how people view you.

You as a believer still remain priceless before Allah. Your value, your worth, your honour are not determined by how much you earn, what car you drive or where you live, but by the spirit that you are within, by your heart, by your compassion, by your generosity and good character towards others. Have you not heard, “the best amongst you [the most beloved person to Allah] is he who has the best character.” [Bukhari].

If there was a way to measure your worth, then know there is nothing heavier than the Shahada (faith) on Scale of Justice and “there is nothing placed on the Scale of a believer that is heavier than good character.” [Tirmidhi]

So let the people say and mock at you for being a believer. Everyone will come to know their worth. If the world and it’s pressuring pushes towards Him, then know it is His generosity that you stand before Him. Ata’illah said it so beautifully: 

“He who has lost You, what has He found?
He who has found You, what has He lost?”

Indeed, the one who has found Allah, he has found everything for He is the source and end of everything. The one who has lost Him has lost everything. So be with Allah, for everything you desire and more is with Him.
