Abstract

The fast pace of modern life has given rise to various psychological and spiritual problems. Demands for productivity and social pressure cause people to lose balance between their worldly and spiritual needs. Phenomena such as stress, anxiety, and even loss of identity show that people no longer live according to external standards without regard for their inner condition and well-being. In response to this, some individuals have begun to adopt a slow living lifestyle as an effort to rearrange the rhythm of life. This study aims to reveal the concept of slow living from the perspective of the Qur’an through a thematic study of five main terms, namely ḥayāh, ma‘īshah, dunyā, khushū‘, and muṭma’innah, using library research and a sociological contextual approach. The results of this study found that each word examined has a different conceptual contribution, such as ḥayāh indicating the essence of the purpose of life, ma‘īshah explaining a balanced life, dunyā emphasizing not to live materialistically, khushū‘ indicating the importance of spiritual aspects in life, and muṭma’innah describing the peak of peace of mind as the result of a slow living lifestyle. This finding confirms that slow living, from the perspective of the Qur’an, is not merely a matter of regulating the rhythm of life, but rather a way of life that balances physical and spiritual aspects. Through this balance, it is hoped that people can live their lives in a more conscious, calm, and purposeful manner, thereby achieving peace of mind and a more meaningful life.
