Arabic term or phrase: تخلى عن الدنيا
اللهم أمسى عبدك فهد الهويمل قد تخلى عن الدنيا وتركها لأهلها

يا من تخلى عن الدنيا وأزعجه

إنما الزاهد من تخلى عن الدنيا واشتغل بالعبادة والاجتهاد , فأما من تركها وتبطل فإنما طلب الراحة لنفسه .

تخلي عن الدنيا وشهواتها لاعلا كلمة الله بارك الله فيك

هذا الشاب الذي تخلى عن الدنيا ورغباتها ومقوماتها، وجاهد في الله حق جهاده، في يوم بدر كان يسير بعد انتهاء المعركة
