O, Dear Sister…
While walking, don’t swing or slant to the right or left as does, God forbid,
the actresses, the low women and the top-models.
Don’t do alertive movements or actions, or even dreaming glances, and don’t talk
or laugh with a loud voice; moreover, don’t over-move your hands and body and
avoid attractive smiles…
Infact, the conventional rules of behavior for women and men are alike:
Lower one’s eye-sight, equipoised walking, respect and tranquility and humble
walking.
God Al-Mighty said:
﴾And the servants of the Beneficent God are they who walk on the earth
in humbleness﴿.
The Criterion-63; i.e., they are humble and lenient with people.
And He said also:
﴾And pursue the right course in your going about and lower your voice﴿.
Luqman-19
Also, never giggle and swagger, for the land with what’s beneath it and above it
would curse you.
God Al-Mighty said:
﴾And don’t turn your face away from people in contempt, nor go about
in the land exulting overmuch﴿.
Luqman-18; i.e., exceeding moderation limits, which is prevalent by
thoughtlessness, the actions, sayings, movements... and walking particularly.
