Do you sometimes find yourself wishing to be… different? Perhaps you would like to be taller, or fairer, or smarter—anything that is other than the current you.

Many of us struggle to genuinely accept ourselves for who we are. Oftentimes, we are more ready to look past the flaws of others, but we try to mask or even reject the parts of us that we deem unacceptable. Even though Allah (s.w.t.) Himself has said in the Qur’an,

“Indeed, We created humans in the best form.”

(Surah At-Tin, 95:4)

What is self-acceptance, really? How can it help improve our lives? And how do we cultivate more of it?

Join Ustaz Mizi Wahid in his upcoming seminar, A Beauty in Flaws: The Journey of Self-Acceptance, as we dive deeper into the topic and learn to embrace that one person closest to us more than anyone else—our own self.
