Zuhd CHAPTER 1

 Sufism is not mere speculation; it’s a proven path. 

This knowledge, inherited from the prophets and saints (awliyaullah), 

teaches that the heart is central to our being. 

A healthy heart positively impacts the entire self, 

while a corrupted heart negatively affects the whole being. 

The heart can be corrupted by attachment to material things, 

people, money, power, and so on. 

To treat this, zuhd (detachment) is prescribed. 

In this practice, one undergoes training to control what they hear, 

see, think, and avoid unnecessary things that can affect the heart.
