Right now, shyness and modesty and higher. There are different types

Then there's some wrong modesty, misunderstood modesty. So we'll
quickly go through that. The best modesty is modesty before Allah.
Because if you're modest before Allah, and Allah is always
watching that we're always going to be modest because Allah is
always watching, followed by modesty before people.
However, only in those things which entail no disobedience and
is not disliked.

Ramadan EULA al Amin, or either early he was Safi or Baraka was
seldom at the Sleeman Caffee Ron Ely Amin Deen.
Okay, let us
talk about shamelessness behind shamelessness in Arabic work AHA
it's called waka opposite of higher.
Now we have to be careful here is that what is higher what is
modesty? Higher is modesty hierarchy or cheesy right? So
firstly, higher and modesty refers to this capacity and power to
restrain oneself.
Why I'm going to restrain myself from doing this out of fear of
committing a morally repulsive Act.
The Buddha fell may it's gonna he can Machado. I can't let myself in
May I see But naked secto Massa Dominica Seto that feeling is
higher.
That means we have to have boundaries. We have to have
principles. If you don't have boundaries and you're willing to
do anything then you can't have higher higher boundaries get no
this is my line. I know he's doing this but I can't do this.
Some people will swear or others but they will never swear back.
That's not something I do.
It is narrated that Abdullah Masuda the Allahu Anhu said that
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Be shy in front of
Allah. This is the beautiful Hadith have higher from Allah
have higher which is modesty shyness in front of Allah as much
as this is right.
So the Sahaba said, we are ashamed in front of Allah, Ya rasool
Allah, we are ashamed.
May Allah be praised Alhamdulillah the Prophet salallahu Salam said,
No, you have not understood it correctly. That's not what I mean.
Shyness in front of Allah. Now look how comprehensive This is,
shyness in front of Allah. Proper, higher is meaning proper, higher,
according to the right that Allah deserves from us that much higher
is that you safeguard your head, which means the whole head, your
stomach, and all of your limbs and faculties and everything they
contain. So if we're protecting, if we're safeguarding our head,
that means we're safeguarding our ears, safeguarding our tongue,
safeguarding our eyes. And the next point, he says, and that you
remember death, and the decaying bones in the grave. That's a wake
up call that keeps us grounded. Then he says that a prophet saw
some said, Whoever truly seeks the afterlife, just whoever seeks the
hero
will inevitably definitely discard the ornaments of this life.
Meaning he won't be running after just
he'll get what he needs. But he's not after just beauty. So is his
phone works. He's not going to buy the next one just because it's the
new one.
If he needs it, you'll buy it. But he's not going to buy a new one.
I'll give gender to Apple every year. Even though there's nothing
extra you're getting. Some people they give gender charity to Apple
every year by getting a new iPhone, even though they don't
need it. As McQueen He is new to it just slightly different design
and is the number 15 instead of 16 instead of 10 or 15 or 14 That's
what it is. She's giving charity because they need your charity
Mashallah. Give it to the Muslims.
So,
if you need it Bismillah go ahead and buy it if you can. hamdulillah
so he says that whoever truly seeks the afterlife will discard
the ornaments of this life and prefers the everlasting life over
this fleeting life. Whoever does all of this he has been truly shy
in front of Allah as much as it is right? That's the beautiful
Hadith.
Right now, shyness and modesty and higher. There are different types
one is modesty in front of Allah
When is modesty in front of others? Then there's some wrong
modesty, misunderstood modesty. So we'll quickly go through that. The
best modesty is modesty before Allah. Because if you're modest
before Allah and Allah is always watching then we're always going
to be modest because Allah is always watching followed by
modesty before people
however, only in those things which entail no disobedience and
is not disliked. What does that mean? For example, you're a
naturally shy person somebody's doing something completely haram
and wrong.
Should you exercise your shyness there
by not saying anything? Because you don't want to upset the boat.
You don't want to be seen as somebody saying something so yeah,
you happy you you you even smile at the person is doing completely
haram Zina Corrado that shyness is blameworthy, It's haram, it's not
right.
So the shyness we're talking about is shyness for the deen. Many
people are naturally shy. So when co-coach Bonacini doctor, they
don't like to step out. They don't like to make themselves that they
don't want to
make a point, you know, that's natural shyness. It is no reward
for that.
The reward is when you abstain and withhold yourself where it's
strategically beneficial for the sake of the dean. What leads you
to be shy, is the Dean even though you are outgoing, maybe even
though you would have done something you would have said
something. But in this case, now for the sake of Allah, I'm not
saying anything, because it's bad. So higher, we're talking about is
higher, and the shyness, which is religious shyness, religious
shyness, not just natural sort of shyness. If you're an introvert,
you don't say anything to anyone, then it might be fine most of the
time, but sometimes when you shouldn't be saying something, or
somebody tells you give a damn, you can't give a run.
Because you're too shy to give a run. You're too shy to do the
iqama you're too shy to lead the prayer.
That's not right. And you're the best person lead the prayer but
no, I'm to magician Luxuria
Shemitah you know, so
if shyness is going to create disobedience
shut such as shyness from commanding good or forbidding
evil, or leaving the Sunnah out. For example, you're shy to use the
miswak you're shy to wear Toby and cover your head. You're too shy to
shorten your garment. So you let it dangle.
You're too shy to keep it above you know, above the ankles. You're
shy to wear patch the garments.
If you had to, for example, right? You're shy to walk barefoot if you
needed to. You don't have to. It's not a sunnah to walk barefoot like
that, just like that wear shoes. But for example, if you had to get
some men do their knee and what are you going to do now? He says
riding a donkey because in those days donkeys horses were better so
you're shy to ride the donkey doing that you're shy to sit in a
small car, you have to have a big car.
They matter so God got him into the Mexico, but you gotta love it.
You're too shy to lick your fingers after you eat or clean up
the dish or finish off your tea. There's some people they feel that
it's some kind of special etiquette to leave a bit of tea at
the end in the cup.
I don't know some people think it's high class people do that.
Some people think that it's mega, which Jadoo Holgado
omineca is fabulous and it's a waste man. Read Bismillah Hilah De
Lisle Roma asked me che on Philadelphia's semi or semi
regarding our will be Kadima Tila hit multiman Shadi mahalo RP la

your plate. Maria
does evening here. This is against our style. You're too shy to say
salam
Laude
you're too shy to say salam or reply to the salam Radha too shy
to lead the prayer and the like. This is very, very blameworthy.
This is blameworthy. Since really what this is is was Dilly
cowardice.
Weakness in religion. Your your keen isn't strong enough.
Or it's arrogance or ostentation, depending on which one it is, even
if we agree that it was just me a shyness, then why you being shy.
Why you being shy from people. So you don't want to do this in front
of people on set of course Shrimati but not from Allah
subhanho wa Taala you're not shy in front of Allah subhanaw taala
for the same thing
and you can't even say this is wrong or you can't even turn away
and you can't even move away. But you're too shy of them and not shy
have ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
Allah and His Messenger have more rights for people to be shy of
them. For indeed, what is the state of the one he says, who has
no shame before his very creator? If you don't have any shyness,
Allah case, I'm gonna shut up now. You know, what have you got? What
is it?
He is your Sustainer your guide your Savior.
And if you're being shy by neglecting divine commands and
prophetic signals, yet
who feels ashamed in front of important creatures in other
people, weak people, you feel shy in front of them just so that you
can get their praise or pleasure or you can gain unlawful wealth
from them or you can just be free of blame. You don't want them to
criticize you or look down upon you or something like that.
Yet, this person does not take care to flee from a severe
punishment in the hereafter, nor from being excluded from the
shofar at an intercession of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, we seek refuge in Allah from such a wretched state.
Now we understand that there are two types of shyness, the natural
shyness, you're not rewarded for that, unless you use it correctly.
If it's going to stop us from doing what's right, then that's
not praise worthy at all. The real praise worthy higher and shyness
and modesty is further is what we do according to what Allah wants
from us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala give us that Tofik May Allah

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we start
added Rayyan courses so that you can actually take organize
lectures on demand whenever you have free time, especially for
