The word haya mentioned above doesn’t have a single meaning however carries several meanings. Among those meanings are self respect, bashfulness, modesty, shyness and honour. Haya is the opposite of being proud because the messenger of Allah tells us in The Kitaabul emaan that one who possesses an atoms weight of pride will not enter jannah. As modesty is one of the 60 branches of faith someone who lacks this characteristic does not possess complete faith.
