<![CDATA[This study explores the relationship between frugality and contentment through a qualitative content analysis of the chapter 'Frugality' in Said Nursi's Risale-i-Nur collection. Nursi, a distinguished Turkish intellectual and spiritual leader, profoundly influenced Islamic renewal in Turkey. The Risale-i-Nur, his principal work, provides a rational defense of Islam, demonstrating its compatibility with reason and science. By systematically examining recurring themes and ethical arguments within the treatise, the study elucidates how frugality functions as a pathway to enduring inner peace and satisfaction. The study highlights how Nursi's integration of theological reasoning, scriptural authority, and personal testimony functions as a didactic tool to foster virtues such as contentment, dignity, and generosity within economic behavior through practicing frugality. By aligning individual moral agency with universal principles of economy and justice, this approach offers a normative framework that challenges dominant materialistic economic paradigms and complements contemporary ethical economics.]]>
