This week and the weeks following, we will draw from the timeless wisdom of Kitāb az-Zuhd wa’r-Raqāʾiq by Imām ʿAbdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak (رحمه الله) (736–797 CE). A scholar, muḥaddith, jurist, and ascetic. Known for his depth, balance, and protection of the vulnerable.Zuhd isn’t about looking poor or avoiding life’s blessings. It’s about keeping the heart detached from worldly things, even when they’re within reach. Ibn al-Mubārak exemplified this. Though he had wealth and dressed well, he lived simply, gave generously, and stayed focused on Allah.
