Before I came to Islam, I always thought I am quite good looking. But all of a sudden I felt extremely ugly which is around 4 years ago. And this feeling of ugliness seems to always be with me the whole time which affects my life a lot. I keep disliking a part of my body and felt it makes me look ugly. This feeling became very worse until, Alhamdulilah, I got married. Things is gotten better now. But I still have this constant feeling in me that my face is not good enough because of a body part that I dislike. I tried ignore it but I still feel ugly and depressed when look at myself. What is your advice based on The Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (may Allah send peace and blessings to him), to cure my illness so that this feelin is completely gone and I can feel completely normal again.

One must look at the consequences of his actions! You […]
