💌 Some females only befriend women who appear as beautiful as them, while others would distance themselves from you if your beauty level is above average due to feeling jealously threatened and fearful that your good looks may outshine theirs. If you enter a cosmetics store looking pretty, some of the saleswomen would enthusiastically welcome you and treat you in a friendly manner. On the other hand, if your overall appearance isn't appealing enough, or you seem like a customer who can't afford branded products from Zara, Sephora and Forever 21 etc. you may receive unprofessional treatment from ignorant salesladies who despise you for your simplistic look without even knowing who you are.
Some men's marriage proposals get rejected simply because the women they were interested in marrying didn't find them handsome. A teacher may be more popular than the other teachers just for looking like a typical runway model. A student could either earn popularity among his/her peers for having a cute face or he/she may be hated by a squad of jealous bullies for looking better than them physically.
Having a beautiful heart is underrated, while making sure that one looks good or stays in shape is a priority for a lot of youths, particularly those who aspire to imitate their favorite celebrities many of whom undergo cosmetic surgery, or make-up guros on YouTube who indirectly cause certain viewers to think they don't look good enough when their make-up application is flawlessly on fleek.
As Muslims Alhamdulillah we must remind ourselves that Allah the Almighty created us to worship Him Only, not to impress His creation especially with superficial beauty. When we focus on pleasing Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, people's criticism can't affect us negatively. Our hearts then remain at peace and radiate good energy or positive vibes which other beautiful souls can recognize easily. So if someone calls you 'pangit', 'ugly' or 'not pretty enough', just ask them "Oh is that your nickname? Interesting." or confidently say, "I never asked for your opinion. You can evaluate your own looks somewhere else. I am not a mirror, thank you." or walk away patiently, content with how Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala made you and grateful you're not like those rude individuals in being immature, uncivilized and incredibly insecure.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance nor wealth, but rather Allah looks at your hearts and actions."
