Before you know about the various types of modesty, you should know about the Haya or bashfulness. Shyness or modesty means to keep one person away from all those things that Allah Subhana Wa Tallah has admonished.

It is a quality, tool and emotion that if present inside you helps in building your personality and can bring you closer to Allah Subhana Wa Tallah. If you do not have the quality, you should acquire and quest for it to develop inside you.

If you already have then work harder to improve yourself and progress in the same manner Allah’s Apostle has suggested and prescribed for us. Haya or modesty is the treasure and precious ornament of pious men and women. Those who pleased Allah Subhana Wa Tallah has high virtues, have set high values and always observed modesty in the highest possible manner.
If you wish to acquire modesty read Quran e Pak, where Allah Subhana Wa Tallah has described modesty by asking His SWT believers to keep their gaze down when in bazaar and ordered them to cover their beauty or Husn with a veil.

If you want to know, what modesty is go and read the sayings of Rasool Allah SAAS. Allah’s Apostle SAAS, the modest of all and noblest of all has said, “Haya’ (modesty) and Iman (faith) are two that go together. If one is lifted, the other is also lifted.” [By al-Hakim]
