Reflections on Raindrops

“The true Muslim woman is shy, polite, gentle and sensitive to the feelings of others. She never does or says anything that may harm people or offend their dignity. The attitude of shyness that is deeply-rooted in her nature is supported by her understanding of the Islamic concept of shyness, which protects her against going wrong or deviating from Islamic teachings in her dealings with others. She does not only feel shy in front of people, but also feels shy before Allah swt.” — from The Ideal Muslimah, published by Int’l Islamic Publishing House
