modesty and the innocent angels of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ also felt shy from him. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Aamir Bin Rabee’ah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: (On the day of the siege) we were with Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘I swear by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I never committed fornication during the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, nor have I committed it after embracing Islam. (Instead), after embracing Islam my modesty has further increased.’ (Sunan Nasa`ee, pp. 2351, Hadees 4024)

Dear Islamic brothers! We have just heard a faith-refreshing parable about the very beautiful attribute of ‘modesty’ of Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani Zun-Nurayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. His ‘Urs, the day of his martyrdom, was celebrated on 18 Zul-Hijja-til-Haraam. Let’s listen to some glimpses of his blessed life history regarding this:

His name is ‘Usman, filial appellation is Abu ‘Amr and titles are ‘Jaami’-ul-Quran and Zun-Nurayn. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is the third caliph amongst the Khulafa-e-Rashideen. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ married two daughters of the Beloved Rasool      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم one after another. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ resembled Sayyiduna Ibraheem and the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to a great extent. Some blessed Quranic Ayahs were revealed in his glory. Even angels would feel shy from him. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ migrated twice in the path of Allah. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was a very famous trader and an extremely generous person. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave him the good news of being blessed with Paradise. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ reached the age of 82. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was oppressively martyred while he was reciting the Holy Quran in the state of observing Sawm (fasting).
