The sands of the desert of Egypt tell a beautiful story…
Of a tired traveller making his way out in search of a nearest inhabited land..
On reaching the city of Madyan after travelling for many days, hunger and weariness pulls him to retreat under the shade of a tree.
The traveller saw a large well surrounded by a group of people watering their livestock and two young girls waiting for the men to finish so that they could water theirs.
The traveller approached the girls in a manner so dignified and offered them help without them even asking for it. Thereafter, he went back to rest under the shade of the tree.
No vain talk. No checking out the ladies. No address requests.
How modest, Subhana’Allah was our Prophet Musa(AS)! And how modest were the two women in upholding the manner of dealing with the opposite gender.
This legendary story carves the beauty of shyness in our hearts so deep.
Being shy has become a rare gem in today’s “so called modern” world.Yet our beautiful Islam upholds this very virtue as one of the branches of faith. And this branch of faith roots from our heart!
How indeed beautiful is this shyness for the sake of our Rabb.To use what He has given us from His Immense Mercy for seeking His pleasure alone.
Every soul has a beautiful shyness embroidered to it..
Be it your regular general classrooms or volunteering for Islamic programs, be it a festive family gathering or your best friend's wedding, be it your corporate work field or your gym space, make it a point to observe this beautiful quality in every walk of your life.
Embrace this shyness. Cherish it and preserve it.
For on that Day when we meet our Rabb, this very shyness will be the crown for our glowing face. Insha'Allah :)
Shyness still exist. I call it the Nordic flower ;)
