Zuhud was a simple and not adventurous person in the world. He
is always calm and good at being grateful. Hermits are always easy to love. If
he is a poor person, then many people come to donate his wealth, and if he is a
material person and his social status is high, then people will come to glorify
and respect him.
To be zuhud is not easy. It takes sincerity of heart and
acceptance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala gift. But that doesn't mean we can't be
Zuhud.
One example of a person who is zahid (a zuhud person) is the
prophet Muhammad and his family. And here are the characteristics of zuhud
people that can be seen in life.

A person who is zuhud can also be seen from his morals when
socializing with his environment. People who are zuhud have good morals towards
fellow humans and other living creatures. People who are zuhud also show the
characteristics of a kind-hearted person and do not like to be envious and
being zuhud is also one way to become a good person.
2. Leaving the pleasures of the world
What is meant by leaving the pleasures of this world is not to
be complacent with the pleasures of this world so as to forget the more lasting
pleasures in the hereafter. A person is willing to leave the pleasures that he
gets in this world by trying to improve himself to the right path and prefers
to multiply the deeds of worship.

who are not greedy for something and can keep their distance from the world. So

Being i'tidal is a concept of zuhud according to the prophet
Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, where human attitudes are in the middle.
Where the attitude of humans who work diligently and diligently in the world
seems to live forever, and also works for the hereafter earnestly as if they
will die tomorrow. The parable above can describe the attitude of humans who do
not stay away from the world but are also not complacent by the world.
5. Knowing that the hereafter is more eternal
Other characteristics of zuhud people are having knowledge
about the life of this world which is only temporary, and knowing that the hereafter
is far more eternal. That way he is better prepared for his life in the
hereafter by doing acts of worship and goodness. People who are zuhud also know
the purpose of life according to Islam.
6. Love and obey Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
People who are zuhud will instill their love for Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala by being obedient and obedient to the commands of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The pleasures of the world that he enjoys do not make him
forget to be grateful and obedient to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and also do not
forget about his afterlife.
7. Live in simplicity
People who are zuhud will choose to live in simplicity.
Although he has a lot of wealth, but his way of life does not show luxury. He
