Q: I am so ashamed of writing this question but I am posing it cause I really need help. Here is the story:
I always thought I am strong enough to fight back and can fight for my right. But recently a huge man trying to hit me and looking for a chance to beat me and I am short and skinny guy. whenever i see him my heart beat increases and I cant feel my legs. After this incident I started hating myself and I have lost my confidence, the guilt of being a coward is killing me. I cant see my face in the mirror because of shame. I always have the feeling that I am a coward and feeling so guilty that Allah (SWT) loves brave muslims and I am not brave. My question is will Allah(SWT) love and forgive a coward muslim and is there any cure for that.
A: It is even more important that you look at yourself how do you appear before Allah Ta`ala. You are over consumed by your own impression of yourself; this is totally insignificant. What is really significant is how you appear before Allah. You have the time, hence correct yourself and appear good before Allah before it is too late.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
