The slow living phenomenon is increasingly popular among Gen Z, especially in urban environments full of pressure and productivity demands. This study aims to explore the meaning and practice of slow living by urban Muslim Gen Z from a sharia economic perspective, using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight informants aged 18–25 years who live in big cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta, and have religious awareness and a tendency to apply a slow living lifestyle. The results of the study show that slow living is interpreted as a form of spiritual awareness and consumption ethics, which are closely related to the values of qana'ah, muhasabah, and avoidance of israf and tabdzir. The informants make blessings the main orientation in their consumption and daily lives, as well as a response to the pressures of hustle culture and digital consumption. Despite facing challenges such as social norms and the demands of big city productivity, informants show consistent adaptation to the principles of sharia economics. This study enriches the discourse on contemporary Islamic lifestyles and offers a contextual and transformative model of religiosity in the digital era
