 Allah Hates indecent people

Allah does not like indecent people. He hates them. In this regard Prophet (Sm.) Said 'Allah hates
the extravagant and the useless talker'. (Tirmizi) Decency is a necessary element of human life.

Almighty Allah taught us decency. In Sura Luqman in the Holy Quran it is mentioned that while
teaching decency Hajrat Luqman (As.) said to his son, '0 my son! turn not your face away from men
with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster. And
be moderate in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the braying
of the ass.' (Sura Luqman, Verse:19)

We should maintain decency in every steps of our life. If we do it, a good environment will exist in
society, and our social life will be beautiful and pleasant.
