Contemplate, how many sins have we committed because of which sorrow and grief have been multiplied in our lives?!
Because of one sin – that he ate from the forbidden tree - Aadam عليه السلام was expelled from the Jannah. And yet see how many sins we commit in our daily lives which keep us out of the Jannah of this world?! There is Jannah in this world!
From the Jannah of this world is:

(Al-Hayaa’: modesty, shyness, bashfulness, decency)
The distinct characteristic with which we are known for is al-Hayaa’. Why is al-Hayaa’ given so much importance? It is because al-Hayaa’ is good and it only brings good, and al-Hayaa’ is not present in a thing except that it beautifies it.
A woman who is shy will not be in the gathering of men, she will not be in crowded places, she will not raise her voice in the presence of men. So, when her feminine characteristics get corroded, and she mingles with the opposite gender, her femininity goes away, or it declines drastically. It does not necessarily mean that her character is bad or that she has lost her dignity, but her femininity is part of her beauty, which goes away when it gets corroded or when she intermingles.

All praise is for Allaah alone, the One who is a Guide to the Right Path. He guides from His slaves – those who repent – to the Straight Path, and He brings them out of darkness into light. And He sends astray those who turn away (from His obedience) and follow their desires.
وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّـهُ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
{And Allaah wronged them not,
but they used to wrong themselves}
[Surah al-Nahl (16): 33]
