MADARIJ AL-SALIKEEN | LESSON # 23 : Zuhud
In this lesson, Sheikh discusses the station “Zuhud” and discusses as what is the definition of Zuhud according to Imam Al-Harawi Sahib al Manazil and Imam Ibnul Qayyam. Contrary to the popular concept of the word “Zuhud” among common masses, Sheikh explains as what actually Zuhud is.
Allah said (to the meaning) to not waste your time by attaching your heart to the dunya as it will perish, so why attaching your heart to something that will not remain forever. However it is better to attach your heart to Allah (Subhana Wa ta’ala) and what He has ordered, because only that will last forever. This dunya is mere amusement and play (lahu) and the people here strive for wealth and increase in family.
Zuhud is to abandon anything that will not benefit you in the hereafter.
The meaning of Zuhud is found in Surah Al Hadid Verse 23.
Zuhud is of three levels:
First
Zuhud in shubuhat (misconceptions/grey areas) this is the first level to leave the grey areas as the prophet pbuh said. because halal is clear.
Second
And after leaving the haram, leaving shubuhat doesn’t happen until you have left the haram completely. To have in anything excessive than what a person needs, or a person who sticks his nose in peoples business. To stay away from things that doesnt concern you (not really what is meant by the teacher).
Third
You take what you need and you have Zuhud in everything else.
