Embracing the Essential and Living in Balance
Essentialism is a way of life that emphasizes the importance of focusing on what is essential and eliminating the rest. It is not minimalism, which is about reducing one's material possessions to the minimum. Instead, it is a mindset for deciding whether something is essential or not and saying no to anything that is not.
On the other hand, Islamic Lifestyle is a way of life that follows the teachings and guidance of Islam. It is a complete code of life that emphasizes living in moderation and balance, submitting to the will of Allah, and obeying His commands.
