HAYA Part 4

Keep our HAYA level high

HOW

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Haya and Imaan are two companions that go together. If one of them is lifted, the other is also lifted” (Haakim)

Haya & Eeman are Directly Proportional

To increase our Eeman We MUST hang on tight to the “Rope of Allah”

Haya with ALLAH

The Prophet (PBUH) said Do Haya with Allah, like it is His right. Protect your thoughts and protect your stomachs (do not have haram) and remember what will happen after you die. Whoever does all this, has fulfilled Allah’s right of Haya. (Tirmidhi)

We should feel ashamed to have Allah see us doing - or hear us saying - something that displeases Him especially when we are alone

See no evil Hear no evil Speak no evil

… surely Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you. (Surah An-Nisa, Ayat 1)

Can we keep Allah Out? Allah

It is all “Allah’s Land”

Haya with Allah  Following His commandments  Taking His commandments seriously  Not making jokes about:  Allah  His Prophets  His commandments

HAYA with Parents

And your Rabb has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them “ Uff ” nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. (Surah Bani Israel 17: Verse 23)

Bart Cannot be our role model in how to behave with our parents

Learn From… The Prophet (PBUH) Our Elders

Haya with parents Similar to Haya with Allah Do not talk back to them Do not crib about them to your friends Listen to them Do not be disrespectful in any way Do not be smarty pants with them Do not be dishonest with them

HAYA Part 5

HAYA with Teachers

Haya with Teachers Obey them Respect them  No chewing gum in class  No keeping feet up on the desk Not call them by rude nicknames Not talk behind their backs No cheating No texting in class
