What Is Asceticism (Zuhud)


Asceticism is to leave things that can distract from the remembrance of Allah.

Al Ghazali divides ascetic in three levels, namely:

1. Leaving nothing to desire something better.
2. Leave the worldliness as something of a hope to the next.
3. Leaving everything other than Allah as He loved.
