Suggested Title (Redesigned)
THE DIGNITY OF THE SELF
Guidance from the Qur’an and Sunnah on Self-Worth
FULL REDESIGNED TEXT (English Only, Accurate & Flowing)
Why do people neglect you? Reflect on these truths:
1. When you lower your own worth, others will follow suit.
2. An endless "yes" makes you seem easily available—not valued.
3. Silence in the face of matters diminishes your voice in the eyes of others.
4. Excessive dependence quietly erases your significance.
5. If you do not honour your own time, no one else will.
6. Without firm boundaries, you invite being taken for granted.
7. Low confidence invites neglect; it is a door you leave open.
8. Chasing approval shrinks the soul and cheapens your presence.
9. Stagnation breeds disinterest—growth invites respect.
