الاِسْتِحْيَاءَ feeling ashamed

Carries al- ('the') and is an action-noun naming the act of feeling ashamed — the subject of the 'that' clause, standing in the object form because the emphatic 'that' particle forces that ending on its subject. The definiteness treats the shyness as a known, named thing being judged.
