Revisiting Hamka’s Concept of Qana’ah in Responding to Materialism in the Society 5.0 Era

Nur Hadi Ihsan, Moh. Isom Mudin, Ihsan Abdul Aziz, Najwa Shidqi Assyarofi

Abstract


Accelerated technological advancement in the Society 5.0 era has intensified digital consumerism and materialism, thereby disrupting spiritual balance and affecting individuals' social, economic, and psychological well-being. This study examines Hamka's concept of qana'ah as a socio-spiritual ethical response to contemporary materialism. It employs qualitative library research with a hermeneutic approach to analyze Hamka's major works and relevant literature on Sufism and materialism. The findings show that Hamka interprets qana'ah as wholehearted acceptance of God's decree while balancing worldly endeavor with spiritual fulfillment. Rather than encouraging passivity, qana'ah cultivates sincerity, patience, and trust in God as ethical foundations for controlling greed, excessive ambition, and consumerist behavior. Internalizing qana'ah in daily life helps individuals maintain inner peace while reducing the negative effects of materialism on social, psychological, and spiritual well-being. This study concludes that Hamka's concept of qana'ah offers a sustainable socio-spiritual ethical framework for balancing material progress with spiritual well-being in contemporary society.
