  • The fear of humiliation can undermine one's ability to articulate themselves, even for confident professionals, and becomes more challenging when dealing with close family members, leading Muslims to address wrongdoings in a manner that avoids humiliation and cruelty.

The Power of Words and Fear of Humiliation

Human beings are unique in that they are deeply affected by words and the fear of humiliation. While insulting an animal has no impact, insults and accusations can cause emotional pain and be more devastating than physical harm for humans. Quranic examples, such as the story of Maryam, highlight the power of humiliation, with Maryam preferring death to the shame of being questioned about her baby. This fear is not exclusive to individuals, as even prophets like Musa feared humiliation. This understanding leads Muslims to avoid humiliating or insulting others, as they recognize the seriousness of these actions.
