According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the concept of shame is twofold, demanding a crucial distinction between blameworthy disgrace (Khizyun, 'Ar) and the virtuous quality of modesty (Haya). Tafsir experts like Ibn Kathir explain that Khizyun, as mentioned in Quran 3:112, is a state of humiliation and punishment from Allah that befalls those who persist in disbelief and transgression. This negative shame is the natural consequence of sin, first exemplified by Adam and Eve's feeling of shame upon realizing their disobedience. Conversely, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ defined Haya as 'a branch of faith,' a praiseworthy attribute that stems from God-consciousness. Spiritual scholars like Al-Ghazali and Ibn al-Qayyim elaborate that Haya is an inner modesty that prevents a person from committing acts displeasing to Allah, thus serving as a shield against the shamelessness promoted by Shaytan (Quran 2:169). This synthesis across Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions establishes a nuanced framework where one form of shame is a divine warning and consequence, while the other is a core component of a believer's noble character.
