Explanation of the essence of Zuhd Know that asceticism, or zuhd, in this world is a noble station among those on the spiritual path.

The second part of the book on Zuhd In it is an explanation of the essence of Zuhd And an explanation of the virtue of Zuhd, the ranks and divisions of Zuhd, and a detailed explanation of Zuhd in food, clothing, housing, furnishings, and ways of life, and an indication of the signs of Zuhd."

"Bishr, may Allah have mercy on him, said that renunciation of the world is the renunciation of people, specifically pointing to renouncing social prestige. Qasim al-Ju'i said that renunciation of the world is renunciation of the stomach; as much as you control your appetite, you control your renunciation. This refers to renunciation of a single desire, and truly, it is the most dominant desire in most people and the instigator of most other desires."

"according to the degrees of the doubt: if the doubt is strong, it joins the rank of the obligatory, and if it is weak, it is recommended. There is renunciation of excess, and renunciation of what does not concern one in speech, in looking, in asking, in meeting and the like. There is renunciation of people, and renunciation of the self, so that a man's own self becomes of little account to him for God's sake. And there is a renunciation that gathers all of this together, which is renunciation of all that is other than God, and of everything that"

"has distracted you from Him. The finest renunciation is the renunciation that is hidden, and the hardest is renouncing one's own portions of pleasure. The difference between renunciation and scrupulousness is this: renunciation is leaving what brings no benefit in the Hereafter, while scrupulousness is leaving what one fears will do harm in the Hereafter. And a heart that clings to the appetites can have neither sound renunciation nor sound scrupulousness. A Noble Benefit: Sahl ibn Abd Allah Said, Abandoning a Command in God's Sight Is Graver Than"

"Chapter: Renunciation has its kinds. There is renunciation of the forbidden, which is a binding duty upon every individual; and renunciation of the doubtful, which is according to the degrees of the doubt: if the doubt is strong, it joins the rank of the obligatory, and if it is weak, it is recommended. There is renunciation of excess, and renunciation of what does not concern one in speech, in looking, in asking, in meeting and the like."

"it had not befallen you." This is among the most comprehensive and beautiful statements on asceticism, and it has been narrated as a حَدِيث. Chapter: The Disagreement Among People Regarding Asceticism Chapter: People have debated whether asceticism is possible in these times. أَبُو حَفْص stated: "Asceticism can only be in the lawful, and there is no lawful in this world, so there is no asceticism." Others disagreed, arguing: "Indeed, the lawful exists in this world, alongside much that is unlawful."

"and there is no lawful in this world, so there is no asceticism." Others disagreed, arguing: "Indeed, the lawful exists in this world, alongside much that is unlawful. If there were no lawful, it would be an even stronger reason for asceticism, taking only what is necessary, like consuming carrion, blood, and pork out of necessity." يُوسُف بْن أَصْبَاط remarked: "Even if someone reached the level of asceticism of أَبُو ذَرّ, أَبُو الدَّرْدَاء, سَلْمَان, and المِقْدَاد, may اللّٰه be pleased with them, I would not call him an ascetic; because asceticism can only be in pure lawful, which is not found in our time."

"They are striving towards a banner raised for them beyond this world. They are ascetic, even if they are engaged with it.

This is achieved through three aspects: belittling what you have renounced, maintaining equality of states regarding it, and transcending the awareness of acquisition, while looking towards the realm of realities."

"then asceticism in them is better. But if they do not distract, and one is grateful to اللّٰه, then that state is better. Asceticism in them is to purify the heart from attachment and reliance on them. And اللّٰه knows best. Chapter: Asceticism for the Common People and the Seeker The author of "المَنَازِل" described asceticism as the complete removal of desire for anything other than اللّٰه."
