Modesty & My Europeon Experience


It was only after reading this German proverb "Modesty is the highest form of Arrogance" that I came to realize how humble some German people were!
During my two weeks stay in Germany & Italy, I observed the society in its general outlook. Cleanliness & discipline were the hallmark characteristics, especially in Germany. Unfortunately when it comes to modesty, I found it a rarely observable phenomenon.

This is a very literary satirical remark on the state of affairs of Germans.

Modesty: My professor holds that Westerns have become animals in their "emancipation" and "liberalism" agenda. And went to an intellectual and asked him if having sex with every women without marriage was not animalistic!? And he avoided saying, "Eh.. You know.. it's emancipation..."

Distortion of beliefs eventually results in the distortion of terms. May Allah protect all and may He grant all human beings onto the path of belief. Aameen
