Modesty Of Our Pious Predecessors
make an intention to avoid any acts of shamelessness in the future, and attempt to adopt modesty. Let us listen to some methods of adopting modesty.
Dear Islamic brothers, it is a natural thing for us to feel shame and embarrassment if we were to be seen committing a sin in private by someone who knows us; we would feel ashamed to face them. If we were to develop a mindset regarding Allah Almighty that “Allah Almighty is watching us”, then as well as avoiding such sins, we will also develop modesty.
Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه mentions in Ihya al-‘Uloom: A person asked Sayyiduna Junaid Baghdadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه , “What will help me with lowering my gaze?” The great imam replied, “Develop the mindset that even before you look towards someone, there is already One watching you (meaning, Allah Almighty).”[1]
Virtues of modesty and admonitions regarding immodesty
In order to become modest, constantly read and listen to the virtues of modesty and the warnings regarding being immodest, and then ponder over them. Also, mention such narrations to others as well to change their mindset too. The benefit of this will be that these narrations will become engraved on our mind, and like this, we will avoid immodest acts and become modest. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه
