Applying zuhud?

[lolwatever]

Basicly, everything we earn is a loan from allah, there's a hadith which says something to the extent that poor will enter janna 500 years before the rich(forgot the exact text sorry), this is beacuse of the extravegent and wasteful lifestyle of being rich brings upon a person.

you're right...sometimes we forget that. and is hard to find the quality of zuhud nowadays.

and sometimes there are 'fake' zuhud....which we have to be careful.

^ lol u kno wats funny bro... the prophet told us that when we're the best biz ppl and focus on that that's when disaster comes ffended:

ASalaamu Alaykum,

merely pointing out in THAT case you should be the best Muslim businessman you can be. BUT you should also apply that for every situation, be the best Muslim brother/sister, fathermother, husband/wife, employer/employee, etc...

I was reading this Quote yesterday, and didn't understand it, because I didn't know what Zuhd is, now I understand - jazakhAllah kheir for the great explanations!

Ikhlaas cannot be achieved except after having Zuhud, and there is no Zuhud except after having Taqwa, and Taqwa is following the commands (of Allaah and His Messenger) and keeping away from prohibitions. (Ibn Taymeeyah – 'al-Fatawa' 1/94)

 

[أبو سليمان عمر]

zuhd should be always in our life we need to understand what it means insha Allah this will help

"I heard Shaikh Al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah say, 'Az-Zuhd entails abandoning what does not bring about benefit in the Hereafter. Al-Wara' (abandoning a part of the permissible for fear of falling into the impermissible) entails abandoning what you fear its consequences in the Hereafter.'" Then, ibn Al-Qayyim commented,

"This statement is one of the best and most comprehensive definitions of Az-Zuhd and Al-Wara'." In addition, Sufyan Ath-Thawry said,

"Az-Zuhd in this Dunya entails having a short hope (or avoiding having hopes that one will live long), not by wearing the thick clothes or wearing the garment (as some people who observe fake Zuhd think is a part of Az-Zuhd)."

this is part but pls read the attachment to fully understand what zuhd is and insha Allah it will answer the question the perosn who started the thread asked
