Abstract

This article (Modesty is one of the main reasons for the reformation of society) aims to explore the pivotal role of modesty as a catalyst for societal reformation, dissecting its multifaceted impact on individuals, interpersonal relationships, and broader societal structures. Islam and modesty have a similar relation which soul bears to the body. The Beloved Rasool (Blessing and Salutation on Him) has said: Undoubtedly, modesty and faith are connected together so when one gets away, the other one is also taken away. Therefore, the enemies of Islam are seen attacking the modesty of Muslims. It is not hidden from anyone that attacks are being made on modesty in society in the name of dramas, films, advertisements, morning shows, etc. Modesty is a person’s quality which builds his personality and character. Anyone who owns this quality becomes a role model for others. The ones who do not have it become an example of shamelessness. Sad that majority of Muslims lack this quality, and this sickness is spreading rapidly. Once again western culture is ready to ruin our culture. The man who was once modest, decent, knowledgeable, intelligent is now just fulfilling his worldly desires. In this article, an attempt has been made to reform from the individual to the society. Because at present, indecency and shamelessness are at their peak and we know very well that shame and modesty is the main reason for reforming society. In conclusion, this article posits that fostering a culture of modesty engenders a ripple effect, fostering positive changes that transcend individual behavior to collectively shape and reform societal structures. Understanding and cultivating modesty emerge as imperative steps toward achieving a harmonious and reformed societal ethos.
