What does simple mean? According to Oxford Dictionary, ‘simple’ means basic or plain without anything extra or unnecessary. A simple lifestyle is about reducing your possessions and living a less hectic lifestyle. Simple or minimalist lifestyle refers to a number of voluntary practices to simplify one's life. According to Islam, simple lifestyle is somewhere in between not overdoing it and not being too stingy.

As we know, to practice a simple lifestyle is not only at home, but also at school or in the community. Maybe at home we can use home furnishings that suit our needs. Besides, we shouldn't bother our parents just to follow the trend in society. In school, we must use school uniforms and equipment according to the rules and appropriately. And in society, don't go overboard in dressing so as to make others jealous and feel inferior. Don't also follow prestige to the point of torturing yourself. 

Do you know Mark Zuckerberg? He is known as the owner of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg is often named the richest young man in the world. But even so, he never lives in luxury. He prefers a simple life that can be seen from the clothes he wears, he prefers to wear t-shirts and skate shoes on various occasions. On other occasions Mark Zuckerberg is often seen shopping with his wife without a bodyguard and without a personal driver.

If you search the internet, there are many richest people who live simply. Then what are the benefits? The benefits of a simple life are many. One of which is that our finances are becoming more organized. When we live a simple lifestyle, spending money will be more focused because we only buy the things we need. So, we can buy goods according to our priorities. Simple life also makes us live calmly, comfortably and happily. This is because simplicity means making us a person who is always grateful and has enough. So, we avoid consumptive spending that can burden us financially.

In Islam it is not allowed to do anything that is excessive, including in terms of lifestyle. The benefits of a simple lifestyle are avoiding arrogance. This is because people who live simply are usually more humble. Also, we will become people who are always grateful to Allah SWT.

There are several keys to simplicity so that we can live simply, namely : First, don't worry about many things in life ; Second, stop thinking about what others say ; Third, accept and enjoy every second of your life. With some of the tips above, we can be ourselves without the need to raise prestige by living luxuriously.

If you want to know, many people 'want to look rich', even doing things beyond their means. In fact, most rich people live in a simple way. There are several reasons why they do that. First, luxury goods are not the only things that matter. They can see the things they need and don't need. This can make them organize more regular spending. 

Second, the reason why rich people live simple is also because of their simple family background. They know what it's like to struggle with limitations. And the last one, they love social activities. They like to channel their wealth to help people affected by disasters, wars, or the construction of public facilities, rather than buying a lot of things for themselves. 

In conclusion, let's live simply without overdoing it, without torturing ourelves because a simple life is a beautiful life.
