Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:

If hayaa (modesty, shame and respect) enters a person’s life, then the path to all ‘ibaadaat opens up for him, and the path to all sins closes for him.

(Qutbul Aqtaab Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya [rahmatullahi ‘alaih] pg. 520)

Note: In other words, when this beautiful quality of hayaa becomes part of a person’s life, then it will motivate him to practice Islam correctly and live and deal with others like a Muslim. Similarly, it will stop him from indecent and shameful deeds and dealing with others in an inappropriate or unjust manner. In essence, the quality of hayaa is an integral branch of Deen and a path to acquire the entire goodness of Deen.
