Extreme Modesty (TAZALLUL)

Overabundance in modesty is called Lowliness (tazallul), or ugliness or

it one's self down to hold. Lowliness is disallowed (harâm). With no guarantees

the case with other prohibited things, rehearsing this bad habit upon a

constrained need (dharurat), additionally becomes admissible (jâiz).

Following are a few instances of constrained necessities: to secure

one's religion, property, honor, or life, or to save one's self from a

dictator. Searching for a simple arrangement is reasonable when there is a

driving need or trouble.

Exorbitant lowliness is one of the indecencies. Coming up next is a decent

illustration of exorbitant lowliness. At the point when a researcher ('âlim) is visited by

a shoe producer, the researcher gets up to welcome him and advises him to sit

in his place and keeping in mind that he is leaving, he strolls alongside him up to

the entryway and spots his shoes before him. On the other hand, if the

researcher would get up to get him and afterward pause for a moment or two and show

him where to sit and speak with him about his business and

circumstance and request him the reason from his visit as well as answer his

inquiries with a bright and grinning face and acknowledge his

greeting and assist him with addressing his hardships, he would have

shown lowliness. Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' states

in a hadîth-I-sherîf: "An Individual who saves his Muslim sibling from

inconvenience will be compensated (in the Great beyond) with as much thawâb

as though he performed (supererogatory) hajj and 'umra." Hadrat

Hasan 'radiy-Allâhu ta'âlâ 'anh' asked Thâbit Benânî

'rahimahullâhu ta'âlâ' to work on something for him. He said he was

occupied in the mosque with (retreat called) i'tikâf and that he would

do it later. Hadrat Hasan 'radiy-Allâhu ta'âlâ 'anh'

said: 'Don't you know that leaving your place with the end goal of

taking care of one of his Muslim sibling's necessities is more

praiseworthy than a nâfila (supererogatory) hajj or 'umra?" This

hadîth-I-sherîf unexpectedly fills in as a reason for the end that

it is completely fulfilling (thawâb) for holders of position to help

penniless individuals and for educators to help their students by utilizing

their power and property. Any individual who asks while having

implies [nafaqa] to help himself for one day would be

committing exorbitant lowliness and in this way would commit

harâm. In the event that an individual having one day's method (nafaqa) gathers

gifts for other people who don't have one day's method or for

the people who owe cash to other people, he wouldn't commit

unreasonable modesty. Giving a little gift while anticipating a bigger gift

consequently is over the top lowliness. Stanzas in the Qur'ân forbid this

sort of gift giving. It is a generally excellent deed to return a superior gift in

reaction to a present got however it isn't reasonable to give a gift in

assumption for getting a superior gift consequently. Going to a

gathering without being welcomed would likewise be exorbitant modesty.

Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' states in a hadîth-i sherîf: "Not taking care of a greeting is a transgression. Going to a

gathering without being welcome to it is a robbery." Taking care of an

greeting of a wedding service is important (wâjib) on the off chance that there are

no disallowed (harâm) things or undertakings occurring at the

function. Going to any remaining sorts of solicitations is sunnat. It is

not allowable to acknowledge solicitations which are finished for gloating

or then again gaudiness or bad faith. Laying out fellowships with

government authorities, rich individuals and judges with the desire for

getting common advantages from them is unnecessary lowliness. The

exemption on account of constrained need (dharûrat) was at that point

examined previously. Welcoming by kneeling or by prostrating upon

meeting one of these individuals is exorbitant modesty and is a grave

sin. Kneeling to love would cause

doubt. It would intend to copy a Jewish method of greeting. [A

destitute individual means a poor one. In Islam, an individual who has

enough cash to buy his essential necessities of life however does

not have sufficient the means to buy a sheep for butchering, is

poor. The condition of destitution Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal lam' requested from Allâhu ta'âlâ and complimented ownership from, is

unique in relation to material neediness; it signifies 'awareness of the

reality that you generally need Allâhu ta'âlâ in all that you do'.

Abdullah promotion Dahlawî 'rahimahullâhu ta'âlâ' in his book Durr-ul ma'ârif, says, "In Sufism, poor (faqîr) implies one who has no

want, or, at the end of the day, one who has no longing other than to

satisfy Allâhu ta'âlâ." An individual who meets this definition will

embrace persistence and happiness when there is no means

(nafaqa) to fulfill the necessities of life. He will be satisfied with

the deeds and announcement of Allâhu ta'âlâ and will attempt to get

food to comply with the decree of Allâhu ta'âlâ.

As he works, he won't quit playing out the demonstrations of love

urged on him (fard), and won't commit disallowed acts. He

will follow the sets of Islam while he is procuring and spending.

Neediness will be similarly all around as valuable as being rich for this sort of individual

what's more, will be a method for him to get satisfaction in both this world

furthermore, the following. An individual who follows his nafs and who doesn't have

tolerance and satisfaction isn't happy with the declaration and

predetermination of Allâhu ta'âlâ. At the point when he is poor, he protests to Him by

saying that He has given him so little. At the point when he is rich, he will not

be content and will request more. He will spend his profit on

prohibited things. His destitution or wealth will be a method for calamity

for him in both this world and the next.]

Doing any sort of business or exchange, dealing with a reasonable

work for a compensation, e.g., filling in as a shepherd, grounds-keeper, stonemason

or on the other hand functioning as a doorman or working at development occupations, isn't

unnecessary lowliness. Prophets 'alaihim-us-salawât-u-wa-t-taslîmât'

furthermore, Awliyâ did this large number of sorts of work. Attempting to help one's

self, spouse and kids is a compulsory obligation (fard). It is allowable

(mubâh) to work at a wide range of occupations to bring in more cash

(past the fard sum) fully intent on helping other people

with the additional cash one procures. Prophet Idris 'alaihis-salâm'

functioned as a designer. Prophet David (Dâwûd) 'alaihis-salâm'

functioned as an ironworker. Prophet Abraham (Ibrâhîm) 'alaihis salâm' functioned as a rancher and as a dealer on materials. ProphetAdam 'alaihis-salâm' wound around textures interestingly. [Enemies

of religion compose that the first people lived in quite a while and

covered themselves with leaves. They have no documentation or

proof to back up their allegations.] Prophets Jesus (Îsâ), Noah

(Nûh) and Sâlih 'alaihim-as-salâm' rehearsed the callings of

shoe making, carpentry and sack or case making, separately.

The greater part of the prophets 'alaihim-us-salawât-u-wa-t-taslîmât' were

shepherds. Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' states in a

hadîth-I-sherîf: "Buying one's family needs and conveying

them to one's house means that one's not being a prideful

individual." Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' purchased and

sold different things. He purchased more (than he sold). He worked

for other people and utilized others to work for him. He took an interest

in business exercises like joining enterprises or its same

exercises at his time and laid out business associations. He

addressed others as a substitute as well as designated others to

address himself in a few exercises by giving intermediary (wakâlat).

He gave and got presents. He acquired cash or other

things. He laid out trusts (waqf). Yet, he never said any brutal

words to anybody or ended up being furious with anybody while directing

this multitude of common exercises. He made vows and directed pledges

to other people. In spite of the fact that he essentially did his promises, there

were infrequent cases of his not doing so and paying (the

pay called) kaffârat for breaking a promise. He made

jokes however his jokes were constantly founded on truth and along these lines were

continuously helpful and yielded productive outcomes. It would be kibr

(vanity) to stay away from or to be embarrassed about the aforementioned conduct.

Many individuals are mixed up in this regard since they confound

modesty with its limit. The nafs hoodwinks numerous an individual on the

questionable differentiations among tawâdu' and tazallul.
