The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man advising his brother to refrain from excessive modesty, and he clarified to him that modesty is part of faith and brings nothing but good. Modesty is a noble manner that prompts one to do what is good and refrain from detestable things.

• Modesty towards Allah Almighty is to carry out His commands and shun His prohibitions.
• Modesty towards people means respecting and treating them in the way they deserve and avoiding things usually regarded as reprehensible.
