چکیده:
The author addresses topics such as the emergence of modesty and chastity among men and women in the literature of the Pre-Islamic era and the extent of its prevalence, and considers the question of whether the lack of proper covering for some women in the Pre-Islamic period means a lack of the culture of modesty and chastity or not. The author examines chastity through several indicators: gaze, speech, hearing, hemline, drinking wine, concealing love, patience, chaste love, clothing, and hijab, and concludes from them the innate nature of the hijab.
خلاصه ماشینی:
From Pre-Islamic poetry, it appears that modest, bashful, and chaste men avoided meeting women in the absence of their husbands; as the Pre-Islamic poet Antarah ibn Shaddad himself states regarding this matter: أَغشی فتاةَ الحیّ عند حَليلها وإذا غَزا فی الجيشِ لا أَغشاها Hatim al-Tai maintained the sanctity of a neighbor's woman in all circumstances, even in the absence of her husband; like Antarah, he refrained from meeting her, and if the woman needed his generosity during such time, he would help her without disregarding her honor.
Based on the surviving poetic and prose texts from the Pre-Islamic era, it can be acknowledged that the culture of modesty and chastity had a significant presence and manifestation in various ways among most women and men in Pre-Islamic society; because these two virtues were considered part of moral virtues, and the Pre-Islamic Arabs paid great attention to observing moral virtues.
2. The instances and manifestations of the culture of modesty and chastity in the Pre-Islamic era can be observed in cases such as: chastity of the gaze, chastity of tongue and speech, chastity of the ear, chastity of the skirt (modesty), concealment of love, patience, chaste love, and the type of clothing and hijab of Pre-Islamic women and men.
7. The origin of modesty and chastity in the Pre-Islamic era can be summarized in its innate nature, the jealousy of men, and social customs (because among the Bedouin Arabs, these two were considered part of moral virtues).
