Exploring Hadith and Haya

Hadid 20 modesty is from faith an abbey Mossad in Raqqa better ignarro more al ansari LVDT or ideological our Rasool Allah he Soleimani him ascendant in an email a dork and a spherical enemy who were to Allah he the LM testa he thus nam a voila Hulu hurry acaba de Namur al ansari may allah be pleased with him relates The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said among the early prophetic teachings that have reached people as this if he do not feel shame do what you wish reported and mihari him what handle a wa salatu salam others who are the Eliana and hadith narrated by IBN masud in an american s McCallum in the mood LM tests astonish it now this hadith often is translated as if you don't have shamed and do as you wish but I think the word haya refers to something a little bigger than then shame which sometimes comes with a negative connotation so higher may include shame and a positive one may include Chinese may include modesty all of that then how do we understand the hadith when the Prophet Allah has taught to us Adam said if you don't have higher than do as you wish now first of all it can be looked at in the context of of a threat that like somebody saying to you for example go ahead and hit me if you want or something of that nature and a la strada use that in the Quran when he said Ameena yeoman opium ear man who mushy to me now boom balloon ever swinging then do as you wish he is knowing of everything that you're doing so this is a threat it is mentioned as a context of a threat but it is not cool to do that also in the other verse in surat az-zumar allah so allah says fabu do mataman Dooney then worship whoever you want besides him so again it be a context of a threat another way of looking at it is to indicate the importance of higher as a quality of the heart when the Prophet says that if you don't have higher do as you wish which means that what stops you from doing the wrong is the higher itself what prevents you is the higher itself so if a person is missing that higher he's missing something much bigger than that as the statement of had been a burst of the law and when he said that hiya and II men are linked closely together if one of them disappears the other one follows so if the higher is missing something much bigger is missing and also hadith of the Prophet Allah has sought was salam in abu huraira in both sahi where he said a liar oh sure about two men and a man that hiya is a segment of a man and also the prophets saying that are higher only a tea in a beehive that higher can only bring goodness so again indicating that haya sometimes as a main motivator and even though again it's a command to do something wrong on the outside but it indicates the importance of hiya there's a third meaning actually or a third way of looking at the hadith where actually it can be looked as an indicator or as a litmus test sort of speak where if you don't have a higher in doing something or about doing something then most likely it is okay to do you know in line what the other hadith of the Prophet Ali has thought was telling it's tough to come back there check your heart for an answer but this of course is to be used in the absence of a clear text or a clear indicator so what exactly is higher and how does the person actually get it I think that's what we're looking for at the end how I can't be looked at as a feeling of discomfort or tightness or doing something that is shameful or before doing something better so it's a feeling that would prevent a person from doing a prohibition or from abandoning a an obligation so high it becomes something positive and some of it can be natural some of it can be acquired of course so the National is when some people naturally have this tendency off of being a little shy of being kind which is equate the acquired one is something that a person can gain now of course the the sad thing is that just like it can be acquired it can be lost that a person may gradually lose this a great quality that is connected strongly to a man by being exposed to something wrong you know being habituated to the sin well you see the sin the first time it makes you feel really uncomfortable but gradually you become so so habituated so so used to it then it doesn't move anything in your heart anymore and and as such basically higher it becomes loss area roads it's you know from the heart but at the same time and the same way the person can acquire it and the way to acquire it will be again gradually just like it was lost but also by learning more about allah subhana wa ta'ala by learning about the greatness of allah subhana wa ta'ala about him seeing everything so if I know that a loss of heart Allah is watching everything that this will create in my heart this feeling of haya of haya from allah subhana wa ta'ala that Allah knows what's in the heart Allah knows everything that I look at everything that I do and I that I say and as such it creates a certain higher there's another kind of a beautiful kind of higher which is we're learning about the greatness of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala you'd have this higher that whatever I do for Allah subhana WA Ta'ala it does not befit his greatness and this creates a new higher feeding off of shame in a way that I'm not doing enough or what I'm supposed to do before Allah subhana WA Ta'ala because Allah subhana and always deserves better and as such again this will stop the person or will will motivate the person to do better to perfect what he's doing hoping that he can satisfy his obligations toward Allah subhana WA Ta'ala but always keeping that it can always be better you know pursuing a great goal but in the process trying to please allah subhana wa ta'ala we are massive
