The minimalist lifestyle is currently becoming a global trend. However, long before minimalism became a modern trend, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sa) was a person worthy of the title “true minimalist.” He had already taught and adopted minimalism as a way of life. In Islam, several concepts of simple living were taught long ago, such as zuhd, detaching oneself from worldly attachments; qana‘at, feeling content and grateful for whatever sustenance Allah provides; iqtisad, a balanced lifestyle – neither stingy nor wasteful; and anti-tabzir, avoiding excess. From the very beginning, he consciously chose to live life as a “traveller”, i.e. someone who does not hold onto material things. “O Allah, provide the family of Muhammad with a simple [sufficient] sustenance.” He did not desire abundant or luxurious wealth; he only wanted what was sufficient. This shows that for him, simplicity was enough. A simple life brought him happiness. It also freed him from unproductive time that might otherwise be spent thinking about possessions. Objects do not just take up space in a house; they also occupy the owner’s attention and mind to manage or use them. This demonstrates his complete lack of attachment to material and worldly things. He gave so easily that even when he possessed only one garment – the one he was wearing – if a child asked for it, he would give it without a second thought. The Prophet’s (sa) time was used very effectively because there were few items in his house and few clothes in his possession. Consequently, he had more time for worship, preaching and educating his people. He lived simply purely by choice, because he wanted to live minimally and felt completely fulfilled: “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveller.” A simple life and a minimalist lifestyle open up many new perspectives on happiness, freedom and gratitude. Living simply is a path not only to self-discovery but also to self-improvement – becoming a better person day by day. It is no wonder that Prophet Muhammad (sa) could remain so happy, even though his life was exceptionally simple.
