As a Muslim, the concept of
Wassatiyah should be practiced in our life. It means simplicity and balance, it
doesn’t mean you can’t posses material and wealth but it focuses on how you
should consume and manage it according to your own needs and affordability. Can
you afford it? Is it necessary? In western world, the word ‘Minimalist’ more or
less shares the same meaning as Wassatiyah (in material possession perspective)
or in Malay ‘Kesederhanaan’.
