**Zuhd** is an Enochian monotheistic religion that emerged from the teachings of the prophet [[An-Nusuki]]. Having adopted traits of [[orubian_federation|Orubian]] mysticism, the religion has traditionally existed as a pacifistic faith in the region of Orubia, also seeing a presence in [[turajani_federation|Turajan]] and parts of [[Sumaladesha]] from historic diffusion by Orubian traders. However, Turajani sects of Zuhd have seen a more militant transformation with the incorporation of nationalistic sentiments and [[unionstate|Union State]] governmental patronage.
The faith traditionally espouses the tenets of spiritual purification and and cleanliness to achieve the favor and pleasure of God, gained through asceticism and mystic practices. Adherents are a part of orders (alternatively referred to as "congregations") that tie their spiritual descendance from An-Nusuki himself. However, strains arising in Turajan have begun to see militant action as a means to this end of purity, creating a major split between the traditional pacifistic body of adherents and the modern, Union-encouraged militant sects.
