Principle 69 — The Importance of Simplicity

English · 1 min read

The Importance of Simplicity

The Prophet of Islam said that simplicity is a part of faith. Simplicity is the way of a purposeful person. (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith No. 4161) A purposeful person cannot afford to devote a portion of his time and energy to pursuing a luxurious lifestyle. Simplicity means limiting your needs to the bare minimum while avoiding unnecessary engagements. Simplicity is a superior solution. Simplicity enables a person to lead a purposeful life. No part of his life should be wasted on anything other than achieving his goal.
