Prophet Muhammad’s humbleness
To be humble is to be
modest, self-effacing, unpretentious, and unostentatious; it involves showing a
low estimation of one’s own importance. It is the opposite of being arrogant,
proud, and haughty.

Prophet Muhammad’s Zuhd
Prophet Muhammad’s Zuhd
Zuhd
is an often misunderstood term, most probably because, among certain people -
namely, certain followers of Sufi orders -.it is taken to an extreme; or, it is
understood only on a superficial level. In the Arabic language, a Zahid - one
who practices Zuhd - is someone who is abstemious, austere, and self-denying in
his lifestyle. As an Islamic term, a Zahid is someone who abjures worldly
pleasures and comforts for the sake of Allah, and because, through leading a
self-denying existence in this life, he hopes to enjoy a comfortable and
pleasure-filled life in the Hereafter.
