Modesty: The Garment of the Heart
Haya' (حياء) in the QuranBy Aira AuroraLength1h 24m
About this audiobook
Modesty — *haya'* in Arabic — is the hidden virtue. It is hidden not because it is secret but because it manifests inwardly before it appears outwardly. The modest person is first modest in their heart — aware of Allah's gaze, conscious of the dignity of the human being, and respectful of the boundaries that Allah has established. From this inner awareness flows the outward expression: the lowered gaze, the dignified speech, the appropriate dress, the restrained behavior.
