What is the solution to the problem of excessive shyness that the questioner suffers from, which prevents him from leading people in prayer (Imamah) despite the disappearance of its effect in small groups?
We advise you to seek Allah's help and to associate with the righteous, discussing religious matters with them, as if summarizing a lecture and debating it with them. Then, develop your public speaking skills by facing an audience, and remember the reward for those who teach good, as stated in the Hadith: "Indeed, Allah, His angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths—even the ant in its hole and the whale—send blessings upon those who teach people good." You may also consult psychiatrists and the counseling department.
