Modesty Of Our Pious Predecessors
Let us listen to what the Companion of the Prophet, Sayyiduna Salman Farsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said regarding modesty, “Rather than looking at a person’s private area or someone looking at my private area, I deem it better to die, then come to life, then die, then come to life, then die and then come to life.”[1]
A good environment and correct upbringing play a major role in developing modesty too. Being part of an environment built on modesty causes it to grow, whereas the company of shameless people takes away the purity of the heart and eyes, resulting in shamelessness and a person falling into countless immoral and impermissible actions. Every Muslim should adopt the company of Allah’s righteous servants, and before adopting someone’s company, he should ponder over their company. Regarding seeking a religious friend, Ameer al-Mumineen Sayyiduna Umar al-Farooq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states, “Seek true friends, and spend your life in their shade, for they are an adornment in times of happiness, and support in times of hardship. And do not adopt the company of a sinner, otherwise you will learn how to sin from him.”[2]
Ponder upon the harms of immodesty
Dear Islamic brothers, the harms of immodesty in the hereafter have their own place, but its worldly harms are many too. The shameless person is despised by society, he has no awe or admiration, the people have no respect for him in their hearts, and there are many harms besides this too.
Another way of developing modesty is to ponder upon the harms of immodesty, for its repercussions in the hereafter are severe. Sayyiduna
