(Bukharee)
Modesty and humbleness plays a special role between the creator and the
creature. Modesty is a Special sense of shame and shyness. A strong believer feels
shy in front of his creator as he knows that Allah knows and sees everything. So
he feels ashamed while doing any misconduct or any sin whether in public or in
private .This type of modesty directly related to faith
(Abu Daud)
“Be shy towards God when you are in private in the same way you are shy in front
of people when you are in public”
“Do not be a devoted slave of God in your public behavior while you are enemy to
Him in your private affairs”
Modesty towards others:
Modesty towards others refers to behave decently in public, avoid indecent talks
and inappropriate activities and respect everyone. With this sense of modesty a
person will feel ashamed and embarrassed when someone noticed him doing
something wrong and this will stop him repeating that action.
(Hazrat Ali)
Modesty towards others also includes that not to gaze at opposite gender or
harm them in any other way. Whenever the opposite gender interacts with each
other they should lower their gaze.
In Quran both men and women are commanded to lower their gaze and “Guard
their modesty”.
