The Companion of Two Lights
It is stated in a Hadith: "However much modesty there is, it is good.”[1] Unfortunately, a number of us do not show modesty where we should, and show modesty where we should not.
Where sins are committed, one should be modest. Similarly, in immodesty and unlawful gazes, one should be modest, thinking: "My Lord is watching me, what will become of me?!" The greatest right of modesty is that we should be modest before Allah Almighty. However, our condition is that we do not show modesty in sinful acts.
On the contrary, sometimes when there is a good deed to be done, we feel ashamed, Allah forbid. If we have to grow a beard, we feel ashamed. Why didn't you wear an Ꜥimāmah? We feel ashamed. Grow long hair! No, we feel ashamed. Invite to goodness! No, I feel ashamed. We should feel ashamed of sinful acts, but unfortunately, we do not feel any shame there.
Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, states: "Goodness is in four things: (1) Expressing love for Allah Almighty by observing voluntary prayers (2) Being patient with Allah Almighty's commands (3) Being content with Allah Almighty's decree, and (4) Being modest before Allah Almighty because He is watching.”[2]
The Characteristic of Islam is Modesty
It is mentioned in a Hadith of Ibn Mājah: "Indeed, every religion has a distinguishing characteristic, and the characteristic of Islam is modesty.”[3] This means that every nation has some special characteristic that dominates other characteristics, and that characteristic of Islam is modesty. This is because modesty is a characteristic that completes moral virtues, strengthens faith, and is one of its signs.
