Shame in Islam

" http://www.islamicdawah.mobilixnet.dk/islam/men/haya%20for%20men.htm

What is Haya? Haya itself is derived from the word hayat which means life. But that is something that we will get into later on in this essay. This term covers a large number of concepts. In English, it may be translated as modesty, shyness, self-respect, bashfulness, shame, honor, etc. ..."

Our Lord! And grant us that which you have promised to us by Your messengers and save us from shame on the Day of Judgement. Verily You never fail to fulfill Your promise. (3:194)

O Allah! Lord of Power (and Rule) Thou giveth Power to whom Thou pleaseth and Thou strippeth off power from whom Thou pleaseth, Thou endueth with honor whom Thou pleaseth and Thou bringeth low whom Thou pleaseth; in Thy hand is all Good. Verily over all things Thou hast power. (3:26)

From the Hadith:
SHAME Bukhari volume: 8 number: 141 "If you're not ashamed, then do what you
like."
