Zeal actually means loyalty to protection of religion or chastity or water
and land and Islamic country and or other divine bounties.
A zealous person is one who considers himself committed and responsible for
protecting these affairs and becomes very disturbed by aggression and
encroachment of aliens to them.
Zeal is one of the prominent attributes of the prophets and men of God. We
read about Abraham( A. S. ), the idol breaker hero, Surely Abraham was
zealous'. In summary, zeal is a powerful barrier against the rush of aliens.
