Haya (Arabic: حياء, romanized: Hayāʾ, roughly corresponding to "bashfulness", "decency", "modesty", "shyness") is an Arabic word that means "natural or inherent, shyness and a sense of modesty".[1] In Islamic terminology,[2][3] it is mainly used in the context of modesty. Haya encourages Muslims to avoid anything considered to be distasteful or abominable.[4][5][6][7][8] Haya plays an important role in Islam, as it is one of the most important parts of Iman.[9] The antonym of Haya in Arabic is badha'a (بذاءة, immodesty) or fahisha (فاحشة, lewdness or obscenity).
