2.34. MODESTY (HAYA) to be continued





God says

And vie with one another to attain to your Sustainer’s forgiveness and to a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth which has been readied for the God-conscious -- Q.3:133

… and (the God-conscious) who, when they have committed a shameful act or have [otherwise] sinned against themselves, remember God and pray that their sins may be forgiven – for who but God could forgive sins? – and do not knowingly persist in doing whatever [wrong] they may have done.-- Q.3:135

….and [truly, to a happy state shall attain the believers] who are intent on inner purity and who are mindful of their chastity, [not giving away to their desires] with any but their spouses – that is, those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock] -- Q.23: 4-6


Prophet said

1. “Modesty is a part of faith, and faith is in paradise”– H: Ahmed and Tirmizi. N: Abu Hurairah.
