The Islamic View On Seeking Success!!!

Just as it’s surely impossible to figure out what the future holds for us, all that we own today, is not guaranteed to remain in our possession forever

Incase we decide to make a comparison between the things we are well acquainted with and those that we posses less or no acquaintance with, automatically the later weighs heavier
.
 One who is quickly satisfied with his own today’s accomplishments, may not be able to compensate for the acceleration in the future
He who is the richest today, who knows he might the poorest of tomorrow. Such is the nature of life and indeed the power of Allah.

Like a wheel which continues to change position......

If success is measured on the extent of wealth, beauty, and the popularity of a person
Imagine, how many people who were once glorified but are now downcasted or have had their names disappear from the popularity chart with time.

In the History Books...
One’s name is remembered eternally depending on the extent to which he was of benefit to others in his life span.
And as Muslims, we must always remember that Allah measures our righteousness or faith from our ahsanu 'amala ....
That’s the best deeds/charity, sincere charity which is solely done to please Allah

It’s from here that our intentions are tested....
Is it that all what we do is done to please Him?

It’s here,
That our work ethics is accessed, to what extent are we beneficial to others?
Not just what we ripped from the world, but rather what we planted in the world
Not just by how far we pursue popularity in this world, but rather the main question lies in whether Allah is pleased with our deeds

The Unique Stages In Attaining Allah's Pleasures

There is one unique thing which is common in everyone’s life. Have you ever realised that the pleasure within eating something can only be realised if the food being eaten can eliminate the discomfort felt as a result hunger.

The pleasure within sleeping can only be realised at the time when one wakes up, when the desire to continue sleeping is no longer felt.

The pleasure within using our cloths is only realised if by using them, one is able to protect his skin from direct contact with the sun, when one is able to protect him/her self from the effect of coldness and other kinds of discomfort.

The pleasure achieved from marriage can only be realised if both partners mutually share and feel the power of love, care and comfort between themselves.  To many, the pleasure of marriage is attained when the two partners are blessed with children.

And so forth and forth, verily with the blessings which you may have recently received in your life, who knows its one of the ways that Allah uses to relieve us from difficult situations. For that reason therefore, any kind of sadness, difficulty or even pain felt in our lives is a sign of great things to come, it’s a sign of Allah’s blessings.
