 '''Monasticism''' or '''rahbānīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|رَهْبَانِيَّة}}) is to abandon this world and its pleasures, such as [[marriage]] and eating meat, as well as seclusion away from people and the community, in order to worship in monasteries and convents. In [[Islam]], monasticism is forbidden, unlike [[asceticism]] (zuhd) which is encouraged. The [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] prohibited Muslims from monasticism and called them to [[jihad]], characterizing it as the monasticism of his [[Umma]].
-According to a [[hadith]] from the Prophet (s), [[Christian]]s came to adopt monasticism when they were repeatedمغ defeated by unjust rulers. According to historical sources, monasticism emerged among Christians in the third century. It is believed by some scholars that Christian monasticism was a source of [[Sufism]] in Islam.
