Modesty Of Our Pious Predecessors
Dear Islamic brothers, just as the majority are seen to be involved in other shameless acts, useless and immodest speech has also become widespread in our society. This has happened to an extent whereby it is very uncommon for a gathering to be free of this sin. Friends gather and begin to laugh and joke, and then they lose fear of the hereafter and start to speak of indecent things. They have no concern over the fact that this speech of theirs can lead to the displeasure of Allah Almighty as He has prohibited us from speaking about such things. It is stated in part 14 of the Holy Quran, verse 90 of Surah al-Nahl:
وَ یَنۡہٰی عَنِ الۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَ الۡمُنۡکَرِ وَ الۡبَغۡیِ ۚ
“And forbids from obscenity, and evil and rebellion.”[1]
We should also act upon this command of Allah Almighty and spend our lives carrying out deeds that please Him, and we should attempt to become righteous believers by avoiding those actions that bring about His displeasure. According to the saying of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , a believer does not pick out faults, does not curse, does not speak indecently and is not immodest.[2] Our pious predecessors رَحْمَۃُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن were such that not only would they avoid indecent and evil speech themselves, but they would also prohibit their followers from listening to such speech too.
Dear Islamic brothers, there are some people who avoid speaking of indecent things themselves, but if they hear someone else speaking inappropriately, they take pleasure in this (مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه). And instead of
