Modesty

A long time ago, there was a man named 'Rabiya' who was known well for how pious he was. He was a man of his word. People used to remember him as the 'pious man'. He held a profound reverence for God Almighty and feared his anger too.

Even though his manners were quite impressive he was a good-looking man too. People who exhibit the best manner and show genuine respect for others often possess an undeniable charm. This was his charm and spell-binding aura that caused a woman who was the prettiest in their town to get attracted to him. But he kept his soul safe for the only girl whom God would select for him. He was single, yet so devoted to God that he wouldn't dare look at any girl with a gaze that God disliked.

The woman who got attracted to him was a famous woman at that time and was the most charming and gorgeous woman. The people of the entire town had eyes on her. They would serve her and give her the princess treatment just to get her attention. She wasn't a Muslim. People considered her a Goddess.

In Islam, engaging in any physical relationship with the opposite gender is prohibited for unmarried individuals.

Anyhow, she had called her multiple times to come to her place, but sure thing! He always denied it. And every time he did that, she felt astonished by his refusal, yet she craved his presence and personality even more.

Gradually, she began to understand him and realized that the only way to reach him was by calling him in a deceptive manner. She somehow managed to get him by trick at her accommodation one night.

When he got there, she locked the room and said that his face wasn't the one that should be hidden. She warned him that if he tried to run away, play some trick, or leave, she would scream for help, alerting the neighbors, and accusing him of harassment.

He felt a mountain of betrayal that had fallen onto him. He was although a wise man. He asked the woman if could he at least use the bathroom to freshen himself and then he would get back. She allowed him.

He got in and did something no one could even imagine doing their entire life. He loved and respected the rules of God to the extent that he took all the waste and disgusting material in his hand and dropped it on his clothes. He was super disgusted doing that, he was begging to scream.

When he got out the woman got infuriated seeing him. She couldn't help do anything but she abused him and kicked him out of her residence.

He did the extreme only to save his virginity and the word of his God.

From that day on, it wasn't just him who noticed the change; everyone around him remarked on the aromatic fragrance that seemed to follow him wherever he went. People would often ask about his perfume, to which he would reply, "I don’t wear any. It’s a gift from God, a reflection of my modesty and purity."

Author's note :

I believe in the meaning of purity and virginity. I strongly put stress on keeping your soul pure for the only person whom God selected for you in your destiny. I found this story so beautiful and the level of trust and love Rabiya had for God is exceptional. It is a story.
