Modesty Of Our Pious Predecessors
their time in worship and serving their parents. They would remain wary of Satan’s attacks at all times, which was the reason why, despite having the ability to sin, they would safeguard their gaze, and avoid staining their pure character with acts of immorality.
Remember, Satan is the age-old enemy of Muslims, and he tries his best to divert them from the path of the righteous and towards the path of evil so that modesty disappears in society, and immorality and indecency become widespread. Thus, the wise person is the one who continues his war against the accursed Satan, avoids his traps and holds on firmly to the flagbearers of modesty, i.e., the pious predecessors رَحْمَۃُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن .
