Promoting simplicity can be achieved through public gatherings and discussing its positive impacts on life.
Simplicity is a principle emphasized in the Holy Quran, and promoting it can significantly contribute to mental peace and life satisfaction. In Surah Al-Mu’minun, verse 51, it states: 'O you who have believed, eat from the good things We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.' This verse reminds us to utilize the good and lawful things Allah has provided for us while being thankful. Simplicity means that unnecessary wants and possessions do not hold importance, and this mindset can help away from excessive problems and stress. To promote simplicity, communal events, workshops, or public training gatherings can be utilized. In these settings, discussions can be held about the positive impacts of simplicity on reducing costs and enhancing our living spaces. Additionally, focusing on life's formatting by preparing homemade meals and utilizing local products can foster a culture of simplicity. In Surah Al-Isra, verse 31, it further mentions: 'And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you.' This emphasizes that our needs will always be met, removing the fear of scarcity. This perspective assists us in adopting simplicity as a way of life and ingratitude may be deeply rooted in our daily lives.
O you who have believed, eat from the good things We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.
And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you.
