x GeneraI I’m not a sinner. Islam doesn’t ask you to “submit” to someone who oppressed you, or remain with someone who wronged you and hurt you intentionally. With the role comes responsibilities. I asked him to divorce me but instead he abandoned me. Please leave constructive criticism or move along.

My dear brothers and sisters in islam in the famous hadith narrated by Bukhari and muslim our prophet(saw) said imman consists of 70 branches, the highest is lailahailallah the lowest is to remove something that is irritating somebody from the path, and having haya is one of the branches of Imman. He mentioned the lowest he mentioned the highest but to emphasize 1 out of all of 68 in the middle he mentioned haya is one of the branches of imman. Why did he mention haya? What is so important about modesty? Well in this khutba I will talk about the importance of haya and why we need it in our life. In Bukhari and muslim, Our beloved prophet said: “modesty and faith are companions, if one of them is removed the other is removed.” Modesty is nothing but goodness and it will exist without resulting in some good, as it is made clear by the Prophet's words, that “modesty does not bring anything except good.” (bukhari and muslim) In another saying it is said that “ modest is all good.” Prophet says that if “If you feel no shame, do as you wish.” Haya is the life of the soul, it is an internal emotion that causes one to avoid doing something that is objectionable. Modesty is a virtue that is deeply ingrained in the teachings of Islam. It is not merely about the way we dress, but it encompasses our thoughts, our actions, and our interactions with others. Haya is a characteristic that pushes on to treat others with a beautiful matter and prevent one from scandling matter. Haya is not just modesty, haya means you act in a manner which is virtues, a manner that makes you look in a dignified and decent manner, and if you don't have haya you have lifted up the barriers to do any sin and you can do what you please. This is not a command rather it is a threat from Allah(SWT). It is narrated in one hadith that one sahabi was teasing another sahabi in front of rasulallah (SAW) because he was too shy and he had too much haya. Rasulallah(SAW) was walking by and heard this and said stop teasing him, stop making fun of him, all of haya all of it is good. The more shy you are the more bashful you are the more haya you have the better you're going to be and that is why Uthman(RA) haya was unmatchable. The level of haya he had was legendary and it made the people around him act in a better manner. In a famous hadith narrated by Ayesha(RA) The prophet(SAW) was lying casually in his house and he was wearing a garment and his shin was exposed. Then abu bakr(RA) came in then rusuallah(SAW) talked to him then Umar(RA) came in and he talked to him, Then there was knock on the door it was Uthman(RA), Rusuallah(saw) quickly sat up and covered revealed part of his leg. Then Uthman(RA) left, Abu bakr as siddiq and Umar ibn al kutab felt a little bit in their heart. They ask Russuallah(SAW) oh Messenger of Allah we came in you didn’t do this, Uthman came in and you did this. They felt that this was special treatment, and the prophet said “should I not have haya with someone whom even the angels have haya of”. This was the level of haya the companion used to have. And it was a praiseworthy thing to have haya. May Allah preserve us May Allah grant us good in this world And the hereafter May he allow us to have the haya of the companions Amen. Ibn Qayam mentions there are 3 levels of haya, each one is higher then the next. Lowest level of Haya, it is also part of Iman at the level of islam, is to have haya from the people. That others are watching you, and that we don't do sins openly and try to cover and hide our shortcomings. And we don't openly talk about it to our classmates and post it on social media with pictures. A very bad person would commit sins in the open and then advertise them to the public. Higher than this level is to have haya of your ownself. This is at the level of Iman. Even your own soul will feel a sense of dignity and self respect. That I do not want to cheapen my own soul by doing something undignified. Next is, The Highest Level: to have haya in front of Allah subhana watala . This is at the level of Ihsan. So, the lowest level of Islam, then the level of Iman, then the level of Ihsan, where you know that Allah is watching you at all times. And only Mohsin achieves this level. When we do an act of worship in order for it to be accepted it has to satisfy these 2 conditions . First, our intention to do that thing should be to please Allah only. Secondly, it should be according to the sunnah. Another part of modesty is how you dress. An example of how we dress is wearing the hijab, for example putting it on nicely with no hair showing at all, and doing it for the love an sake of Allah(SWT) or you can just put on a slip on hijab or put the hijab on put with a little hair showing or it falling down every single time you go into sujood, and when your covering, your only doing so because you father or mother or sister is forcing to put it one, you think it a burden you don't love. If you don't love doing a good deed there is no point in doing so and if you don't do it for the sake of Allah(SWT) there is no point in doing so to, but rather it a minor shirk because you doing for other and not for the sake of Allah and what happen when a lot of minor shirk stack on to each other it is major shirk, may Allah(SWT) make us stay away form this Amen. What is a muslim gentleman? What is a muslim lady? What comes with that and what it entails? parents and we are role models for each other and we must have best manners/ikhlaq to represent as honored role models. What is the reality of haya. It is that Iman and Haya are linked. Ibn masood said if one of them leaves the other follows it. They are companions if one is removed the other is removed. It is no joke to have no haya. Because it acts as a barrier to protect your Faith/iman. It makes you act in a dignified manner. We need to understand and learn what is proper haya and how to increase it? Blessings of haya, and to learn the names of Allah, he is assami al baseer, and embodies haya in our lives what we watch and what we do. Lastly, be around people of haya. We need to see people of modesty in demonstrations. It is very important to associate with such a company. The Prophet said you are on the path of your friend. You will be in the hereafter where your friends are. So we need to put a lot of work into choosing our friends wisely. Haya is more than just clothing. Yes it is one manifestation of Haya. but one who has haya would not like others to see them. But it is more than haya. It is more important in your manners and dealing with others. When you give others a reason to people to speak about you and your character. It is very important to take care of our manners. Finally, make lots of dua to attain haya and to be from them. Ameen What is not haya? That what Allah has covered he uncovers it. Everyone will be forgiven by Allah except he who has done a sin and Allah has covered it and then he himself publicizes it. Noone knows about his bad actions but he goes around telling people, posting it on social media. This is a very hateful action by Allah. We should cover out bad deeds, ask Allah for forgiveness and make a promise to Him not to do it again. Allah is most forgiving. It is not haya to lift the veil that Allah has put over our sins. It is mentioned he who does not have haya in front of people will not have haya in front of Allah. Do not confuse, it is also not haya to not ask question out of shyness. It is said those who are shy to ask will never learn. Haya is a nobel characteristic when done right. It is loved by Allah, as one of Allah’s characteristics is al-hayi, one full of haya. He loves to be characterized by that. Allah is too shy not to answer his servant when he asks Allah for something. When we make dua with our raised hands Allah is shy not to answer. Our prophet (saw) said every religion has one characteristic that it is associated with and islam is associated with haya. This hadith is in Ibn-Maja. So embody haya.

- The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr. -Sunan Abi Dawud 3111

This is definitely a great fitna if our times. But the Shaykh should have been more explicit about the dangers of immodest dress and reclarify why the standards are greater for women

[@ahmedw5]

Shaykh stop always taking a dig at the action of moving from the west. Just because you are so pleased with living here doesn't mean it's the correct thing for the muslims. Perhaps your community has muslim schools and masajid and halal food etc, but most places in the west don't have that luxury. Muslims should do everything they can to safeguard their deen and the deen of their families. Doesn't matter if Internet and fahisha exists at muslim countires. What matters is that the majority of the people there are muslim and respect the deen, even if they are not perfect. The schools there oblige the teaching of aqeedah, Quran, seerah, islamic history, alongside the other secular sciences. Unlike here in the west where it is obligatory to learn about homosexuality, music, feminism, theory of human evolution, democracy etc. You can't act as if the two are the same. A place where majority of women are covered and the adhan is heard, and the muslim identity is respected cannot be compared to the west, a place where your deen is constantly attacked and belittled! If you want to stay in the west, then that is your choice. But don't constantly belittle the idea of moving to muslim lands!

[@21972012145525]

Abu Isma'il of the Dhulbahante: totally disagree. My husband was from “back home” he and his family have no haya. I lived in the “west” and was shocked. If umar ra has your mindset, Islam would’ve never flourished as it did

[@sofiab4593]

I very respectfully disagree with you. Alhamduillah I feel the kids of practicing families here are better than the kids growing in so called Islamic countries. Plus we can learn from every society . No society is completely evil. Alhamduillah her in west people respect each other's feelings,avoid backbiting respect privacy etc in short take care of huqqoq ul ibad much better than people back home. May allah save us from fithnah.

Be careful brothers and sisters of that mindset. If you prefer the disbelievers over the believers and love them then you will have gone astray. Allah says: "You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day *having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger,* even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred." Surah 58:22 And Allah says: "Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment - *Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers.* Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allah entirely." Surah 4:138-139 And Allah says: "O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do you wish to give Allah against yourselves a clear case?" Surah 4:144 It is a big sin to prefer a disbeliever over a believer, even if the disbeliever were to have been more modest and honest than the believer. That is because the believer, even in his sin, has testified that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger, while the disbeliever has disbelieved in Allah and in Muhammad. Fear Allah and don't prefer the west over being with your brothers and sisters in our lands. And fear for your descendents who will surely be disbelievers if you remain here and if they remain here. In 100 years from now do you really think your childrens childrens children will be muslim? Fear Allah and don't place yourselves and your descendents in a place of trials and fitnah.

[@21972012145525]

Abu Isma'il of the Dhulbahante: no body is “preferring” a disbeliever over a believer. Do you not see that this masjid is filled with believers? How can claim one believer is better than another, do you have ilm al ghayib? Furthermore, everyone “back home” isn’t a sinner. Some people are good and some are not. There are several non-believers back home as well. The reality is simple: if you find living in the West is directly causing you to sin due to your weak iman, then this is not the place for you. It is better for you to live back home. Of course the sins exist there as well, but for the time being they are hidden and have greater restrictions on it. (However, that means it is easier to hide your sins as well, which can be more problematic). Obviously this is changing rapidly due to globalism and the internet 🙄 to ignore and think you live in a protected bubble is simply foolish. Children take their cues from their adults. If you provide an Islamic environment, it doesn’t matter east vs west. If you have strong iman, a good support system, and strong Muslim community (or can bring a strong Muslim community to your area) then you should definitely live in the west. If not, and if you have weak iman, then stay in your land. What better example for dawah to non-Muslims simply by being a productive member of society in the West? Easiest form of dawah and easiest way to spread Islam. America offers religious freedom and protection. If and until there is a threat to that, Islam can definitely live and thrive in the west, as it has been for so many years already. How do you justify the spread and conquering of Persia, Byzantine empire, sham, India/Pakistan, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain????? Was this a mistake?? These places were not “Islamic” either in the past
