Aslam

Praise be to Allah.The

Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) described his Lord as being modest. The modesty

of Allaah cannot be comprehended by human understanding, and no mind

can understand its nature. It is modesty that is based on kindness,

goodness, generosity and majesty. By His mercy, generosity, perfection

and forbearance, Allaah is too modest to expose His slaves, show them

up or carry out His punishment on them. He is too modest to reject anyone

who stretches forth his hand to Him, and He loves people who are modest.

Ibn

al-Qayyim said:

“He

is the Modest who does not expose His slave even though he audaciously

commits sin.

But

He covers him, for He is the Concealer, the One Who forgives.”
