You are Loved
It has become harder to love ourselves each day, especially when all we see are perfectly curated posts of other people’s happiness on social media.
We begin to fall into a downward spiral of thoughts dominated by self-hate and insecurities. Our broken souls feel we are undeserving of love and affection.
“I wish to validate your feelings if no one has ever done it before. I know you exist. And your existence is important enough for me to speak to you directly : You exist, and you matter.”
————
In Mizi Wahid’s third book, he explores the concept of love and its impact on our lives. With his signature narration style of hope and compassion, ‘You Are Loved’ is not just emotionally inspiring but also spiritually empowering— it is the companion that we all need as we try to find our way back to the real meaning of love.

One of the best books I have read this year. I love how self care and self love being portrayed from Islamic perspective. They are well balanced and calming for our hearts to accept. Cried buckets when I was reading a chapter titled Dealing With Miscarriages And Stillbirths. A must read for everyone.

Satu lagi penulisan Ustaz Mizi Wahid yang membuatkan saya sedar bahawa rahmat dan kasih sayang Allah itu sangat luas. Di saat kita merasakan orang sekeliling membenci kita. Namun, ketahuilah Allah mencintai kita lebih daripada kita mencintai diri kita sendiri. Malah, Allah juga memaafkan diri kita sendiri di saat kita melakukan kesilapan dan kekhilafan. Jadi, kenapa kita tidak sanggup memaafkan diri kita sendiri?
Saya cukup terkesan apabila Ustaz Mizi Wahid menyebut bahawa salah satu cara untuk menyayangi diri kita sendiri ialah dengan memaafkan diri kita sendiri. Kadang, kita terlalu menghukum diri kita sendiri sehingga kita merasakan bahawa kita tidak layak untuk dicintai dan dihargai.
Sayangi diri sendiri terlebih dahulu. Kemudian, syaangilah orang sekeliling. Mungkin, seseorang yang kelihatan tiada masalah, sebenarnya sedang berperang dengan diri sendiri. Be kind to ourselves and others.
Walau apa pun yang berlaku, walau seteruk mana pun cabaran yang di alami. Tetaplah kuat dan yakin bahawa Allah sentiasa ada untuk hambaNya.
Because You Are Loved ❤️

"Buah tangan" dari ustaz Mizi Wahid memang tak pernah mengecewakan. Secara umumnya buku ini mengupas tentang perkaitan antara pengurusan psikologi, kesihatan mental dan emosi individu (self-love / self-care) dengan pendekatan yang holistik di dalam Islam berdasarkan Al-Quran dan hadith Nabi SAW.
Betapa Allah Maha Bijaksana, Maha Teliti, Maha Pengasih, dan Maha Mengetahui segala yang terbaik untuk keperluan emosi seorang manusia. Ternyata isu self-love/self-care yg kian menjadi bualan hangat di ruang media sosial kini bukanlah topik yang baru bagi kita sebagai seorang muslim (sepatutnya).
Antara elemen lain yang turut ditonjolkan di dalam buku ini adalah tentang kepentingan rasa empati terhadap sesama manusia. Hakikatnya tak semua orang yang terlihat OK dari luaran, adalah OK dalamannya (fikiran, mental, emosi).
Ustaz Mizi bijak menyampaikan mesej yang sangat penting dengan menggunakan ayat yang mudah difahami. Penulisan beliau sangat menenangkan suasana emosi, mententeramkan minda, serta menjernihkan pandangan pembaca terhadap agama Islam itu sendiri.
You Are Loved, karya berbentuk pujukan yang mampu membawa kita kembali mengenal Tuhan, mengenal diri sendiri, lalu menghargai kehidupan dan seisinya dengan lebih baik. Sememangnya berbaloi dengan setiap sen yang dikeluarkan untuk buku ini.

"You exist, and you matter."
"You are beautiful in your own way."
"Today's endurance will lead to tomorrow's harvest and abundance."
"Love is as critical for your mind and body as oxygen is. The more connected you are with love, the healthier you will be emotionally and physically."
These are some of phrases that I retrieved from this book and there are many more that I loved and will like to share with you. To be honest, there are so many self notes, self reminders, highlighting here and there when I read this book.
'You Are Loved' is a book that I will read and reread and reread it again, again and again. It is one that will let you delve into the stories and words. The stories and advices which will you make you cry and realize of how fortunate you are to still be living to this day and moments despite all the negative words that might have went through your minds before which had caused you to disbelief in yourself and also caused insecurities in you. The words contain in the book also will definitely will live up your days and spirits. There are so many loved phrases that rejoice your minds and souls.
My most favorite chapter in this book is 'The Quest Towards Self-Love'. Honestly speaking, loving yourself is easy being talked than being done. There is always something that will interfere our goal towards it. Hence, regular reminder to love yourself is really important. So in this chapter, author did touch about an all-out pursuit towards self-discovery which loving yourself includes doing everything you can, now. Sometimes we are frightening to pursue our dreams because we cannot eradicate the worry from our minds which keep on saying, "What if things don't work out?". This mindset is entirely the big stone which keep us from discovering our self journey. Thus, be brave with ourself and one way to help us get to a decision quicker is to visualize the day when we are 80, or when we are on our deathbed. Would it be something we would regret not doing?
Another thing about self-love is, loving yourself means that you will attempt to eliminate all types of ill behaviour from your character. This means, be good to ourself and also to others because there is saying in Quran; If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merficul." (8:70)

One of the best books I have read that emphasize self-love and self-care. Also, one of the books made me realize that Allah loves us more than we love ourselves.
"𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲".
How to love yourself? The answer is you must know yourself first. And how to do it? By asking questions that will uncover your life and true feelings. I like a segment of "A Questionnaire to learn more about yourself." I answered them all and got a question that stuck in my head, "How would you like to be remembered after you have left this earth?".
The author wisely delivers the message with his soothing writing and easily understoood sentences. I liked the writings that he shared all of his previous client's stories, including his own, and related to the topics with an approach in Islam based on the al-Quran and the Prophet's hadith. Moreover, I like how he closed each chapter with a quote that made me more in love with the book.
There are many great reminders in this book, and a reminder that relates to me the most is you are unique in your own right. Be modest enough to realize that, but also be humble to admit that there will always be room for improvement.
Other two great reminders that are also highlighted in this book are the importance of empathy for human beings (Always be mindful that not everyone who appears to be OK is actually OK) and accepting the faults you've made in the past.
Self-love and self-care are important, and we need to know how to do it the right way. To genuinely enjoy our lives, we must first begin to care for the most essential person in our lives: ourselves. The necessity of self-love and self-care is one of the book's key themes. Therefore, I highly suggest this book to anyone interested in learning more about this topic.
Thank you Mizi Wahid for writing this book. It has changed the way I think about my life, and this book will always hold a special place in my heart.

You are loved by Mizi Wahid has 21 chapters, centering topics pertaining to self-love, self-worth, self-value, depression, devoid in being singles and married ones, failures doesn't mean being failures forever, struggle in acknowledging our deficiencies and insecures and so on. You'll find all of these topics are mediocre since you guys (maybe) have had heard about these through podcast, tv live, ted talks and such. But no matter how much denial you are, you'll find yourself getting absorbed into his writings. The way he inserted all of his past clients' experiences (including his own experience) has made this book a real gem. And the way he ended every chap with a quote got me really attached to this book. Thank you Mizi Wahid for writing this book. It's changed how i view my life, now i'm feeling so appreciated with what i have now.

5/48. Alhamdulillah, You are Loved.
Even no one tell you that they loves you. Trust me, Allah will always love you!
Disaat ramai orang berlumba lumba memaparkan yang terbaik, ketahuilah ada yang berjuang sendiri, sunyi. Adakala orang yang kita nampak sempurna, tabah, sering tersenyum orang itulah paling banyak berjuang.
*Be kind and be gentle with yourself.*
Kalau ada sesorang yang perlu awak dengar atau maafkan itulah diri awak sendiri. Untuk jaga orang lain, orang yang kita sayang, kita perlu jaga diri kita terlebih dulu.
Fikir diri sendiri dan jangan abaikan diri sendiri. 🤍
*"Practise gentleness in all of your affairs, beginning with the most important person in your life, you."*

You Are Loved is a motivational book that touches on self love and self appreciation.
I cried a lot during my reading as I feel that what's written in this book really is acknowledging my feelings, what I had gone through throughout my life -- especially as a child I was once. It feels as if I was having a soothing heart to heart talk, that comforts every accumulating feelings I have kept that I don't even realize all this while.
As it says, this book does validate that emotion and feelings -- whatever type it is -- that we are currently have.

People who are struggling with self-love should really really read this book. Even if you are loving yourself which is awesome, should also pick up this book as it reminds us much more about our worth and warn us that loving ourself doesn’t mean we could reject improvements. Loving yourselves means to accept who you are in the journey of becoming the best version of YOU. This book also encourage us to forgive ourselves and always ALWAYS treat people with love, show how much you love them as that is what The Ar Rahman has always been doing to us. Realise it and appreciate His love. It also promotes us to never shut our hearts for love even if we’ve been hurt multiple times because as he wrote “The best days are not behind you, but they are still ahead of you waiting to be explored”. This book is just so amazing and well written. Maybe for some, the first few chapters were not that relatable but the second-half of the book, will definitely hit you right (in sha allah). The words are so genuine as it comes from a humble servant of God. Since I picked up The Art of Letting God, Ustaz Mizi’s book will automatically be on my library. May Allah bless the author✨

You Are Loved adalah buku ketiga tulisan Ustaz Mizi Wahid yang saya baca.
Bila sebut tentang buku-buku Ustaz Mizi Wahid, perkara yang pertama terdetik dalam fikiran saya adalah ‘memujuk’.
Bicara soal cinta, kadang kala kita terlalu mahu dicintai orang lain sehingga terlupa untuk mencintai diri sendiri.
Sayangi diri sendiri. Jangan pernah banding diri sendiri dengan orang lain. Sebabnya, kita tak pernah tahu kesusahan yang mereka lalui kerana yang sering dipamerkan hanyalah sisi kegembiraan.
Hidup kita terlalu singkat. Jika kita menyayangi orang di sekeliling kita, luahkan. Kita tak tahu berapa lama lagi masa yang kita ada.

Even though you are not loved by people around you, your existence matters to God. Your purpose of existence is not begging someone to love you. Your purpose of life is much more meaningful than that. To fulfill the purpose of life, you must start by loving yourself. Do not wait for others to love you because human love is not consistent. You're just going to have your heart broken.
I have many post-it notes attached between the pages, which means, this book is meaningful.

A gem among gems, this book focuses on self-love, self- care and self-recognition. From the very first page to the very last, I can tell you that I am 100% can relate with almost everything written in this book.
Most parts in this book drove me to tears because of how relatable they were with my life. The pain of being unloved, feeling like a nuisance, being left out and many others, resonate so well with me. But the author also made me realise that there are so much more than that. That finding love oneself is more important than finding love in others. I, somehow, can tell that after years of being hurt, it is extremely difficult for me to take down my 'protective walls' and let others in. Well, maybe one step at a time?
I love this book so much! It's a light read but somehow, gave an enormous impact on me. I hope one day, I, too, will find something in me that's worthy to be loved.

“I have learned that it is important for us to recognise people's love for what it is. It stems from a flawed, imperfect human and given to another equally vulnerable human being. Love is the biggest risk we all take in life.”
(p. 30)
“Your worldview will be influenced by those you give permission to. Every now and then, I would recommend a review of all the people you admire and see if anything needs changing or replacement. Because your mind has the power to make your life, just as it has the equal power to break it.”
(p. 54)
“To first know your life's purpose, you need to know your self-worth. Celebrate the traits that you like about yourself and embrace your imperfections by working proactively in developing critical skills that you feel are needed the most for you to be useful in the future. So that you can serve your community and build something meaningful.”
(p. 89)

This book really feels like a warm hug. That one book I recommend for those who struggles with self love and the one I will repeat when I'm at my lowest.

I would say this book: 'A book that feels like a hug' 🌻

Assalamualaikum wbt
Alhamdulillah, my second book written by Mizi Wahid finally ended really well. I never thought I could cry in every chapter of this book due to the fact the content is almost 100% related to my current life right now. Somehow there is a time I feel I need to be loved by someone, it is not because I do not love myself, it is just I feel I wanted to have the feeling of being loved, by someone, who appreciate the way I am, excluded my family members.
Family is another thing I consider separately because the relationship is mutual, you can't break into pieces genetically. No matter how you were born, no matter how you were grown up by parents, no matter how you were having brothers or sisters, no matter how you fight with them , they are still your family.
But someone, someone you have not known well, have a feeling towards you, which I never felt before, is the feeling that I wanted to have right now. How does it feel to be loved by someone unconditionally? How does it feel to have someone whom taking care of you without asking for reward in return? I still remember when we were only 5 in Bangladesh, we relied on each other, once , a friend of mine fall in sick, I will be the most worried person because I put my responsibility to make sure all my team are in a good state of health. From the day, I rely too much on this responsibility feeling until I did not realise it started to feel different, I started to have feeling towards this person, which I do not know whether I feel sorry and sympathy for him or more than that. There is a time he treat me the same I treat him, which I was overwhelmed with the feeling of being cared by someone. And unexpectedly, insecurity comes. I feel I am not good enough for him, I feel if I put 200% of my effort to make him fall for me but he did not think the same, I feel useless, I feel loser.
But after reading this book, I have come to realise I should love myself first after loving someone else. Let Allah lead the rest.

I was a bit skeptical about this book earlier, but after reading the first two chapters. I managed to relate myself, and I cried reading some of the chapters. Cause I felt as if it was writing about how i feel all these while.
I have been struggling being in love and to be loved for many years, and I have a hard time trying to figure out what was wrong with me? I blame on myself 100% for always ruining my relationships because of that FEAR.
But after reading this book, it kinda opened my eyes and heart to be nicer to yourself, and forgive yourself. This book provided 7 things to remember when we feel broken, left out and abandoned.
Insya allah, I will try to practice that 7 things

It was really easy to read this book.
By easy, I mean utterly engaging.
Mizi Wahid is very much in touch with "relationship" or "lack of relationship" dilemmas of society.
His style is very empathic and compassionate, while steering his audience to develop self care and self love habits.

Got Mizi Wahid's trilogy as a gift from a cousin, whom was concerned about me following a family friend's suicide not too long ago. Having known of my tumultuous past with mental health and how living alone in this never-ending lockdown would have exacerbated it, she had left a small note for me on this particular book to get me to read it first. There's just something about how Mizi writes that just got me glued to it (would have finished it in one sitting had I not started reading it past midnight on a weekday). It didn't come off as too "preachy" for me, the words carefully chosen to make it sound genuine, really felt as though a close friend was there giving me advices as I read through the book. He also makes proper references to the Islamic texts and expanded on it, unlike some of the other Islamic books I've read which felt more like sleazy "copy and paste" works, where the authors didn't feel that there was a need to elaborate on the quoted texts. A lot have been saying that he focuses too much on the single part, but I honestly couldn't find fault with it because one, I'm single and two, he's basically saying that one really needs to give priority in getting to know, and be comfortable with, his or herself before anyone else. Truly recommended, this.

Such an eye opening and a very comforting read.
As someone who struggles to love herself all these years, this book reminds me that we don’t have to achieve or excel in certain things to be loved and appreciated. We are enough just as we are.
The love that we build upon ourselves is the key of having a positive mindset to improve and bettering ourselves each day.
We are extraordinary because Allah created us and He made no mistakes. No matter how many heartbreaks we’ve been through, it doesn’t make us any less of a person.
You are loved. You are enough and you mattered 🤍

Not my favorite book but this book was easy and nice to read. It still serves as a good reminder that ‘You Are Loved’ by Allah :)
