This episode was inspired by the previous one on 'hayaa' (modesty, shyness, God consciousness). We go over what 'awrah' means and how and why it differs for men and women.

I share my personal experience dressing more modestly and give tips for the sisters who are trying to do the same. There is no correct order to do things so be kind and gentle with yourself on this journey. Allah knows what's in your heart and that you're trying.

Covering our awrah is a blessing. I share two experiences that just happened to me that show how people treat you with more respect and deference when you're dressed the way Allah asked us to in public.

We do not go into the topic of 'mahram' vs. 'non-mahram' so insha'Allah that can be another episode soon.

This short episode explains the Arabic term حياء (hayaa) and the various meanings it holds and why it's so important in Islam.

As Muslims, we need hayaa in our dress, our speech, our behavior, our gaze and in every aspect of our lives, both public and private.
