How do you define success? How does ALLAH define success?

Love this article. I remember the ilm fest in London years ago when Success was discussed in terms of how Allah describes it in Surah Al Muminoon verses 1-11. That was a really eye opening experience and I have been driven by that knowledge ever since Alhumdulilah

Dear Ustaad Ashraff,
I love your articles and the ways of inventions you write them. Of course the real success is the Jannaah in the Akhiraa! I’d been already convinced on what you said above article. So, when I read it, my faith summed on the topic.

Though, as a god fearing human being, I ask you that is it permissable to pay something to get my works done where there is no any legal payment. i.e, it’s bribe but not such meant here. How? I tell you – discrimination practicing organization / government devices are there where we have catch anyone who has influence to get our work done. This situation some people caliming something from us. Very few are not taking money. Here – how to name this pay? Bribe? Is it OK? Please advise me. Boost me to avoid this kind situtaion and to achieve my works without this illegal pay.

Salaams to all, I think, we have the Quraan injunctions and Hadith to support Action, and a lot of the daily common and logical manners are based on the above in society, the Question is how much of it is portrayed in our daily actvities without stint(commitment) and are we not obliged to recognize the commitment as onlookers and Honour that action with recognition that Honour and support it deserves for being the correct action that is taken, I hope I have not swayed away from what you intended in my comment, I think I just went directly for the bottom line here

As Salaamualaikum, Al hamdulillah for what you are doing for this Deen and lives of Muslims and others. To me success is when we can struggle to overcome the things of this dunyah and strive to please Allah swt.

This is Amazing. I so much love and appreciate this. How I wish I could be as knowledgeable as you are.

Mr. Alsharif,
I personally appreciate your great work.
I want to ask one question.
IS QUR’AN IS NOT SUFFICIENT
You referenced Hadis.

I agree and appreciate you

Success is freeing oneself from the gluttony of ones’ desire (nafs). Prostrating to Allah on time of Salah asking Allah to prtoect him from evils deeds; engage in zikirullah… and focus in the preparation to meet Allah after this temporary life. For death in a gate to the final stage of life where one is to reap the benefit as well as the punishment of his deeds.

Alhamdulillah! more blessings to the Aleem M. Alshareef for this blog. It clears the mind and soul of those who are sincere seekers of truth. Truly, it makes ones successful after reading this article. Thanks so much♡♡♡

Masha Allah, endless bless to you for this lecture.

Assalamualaikum brother Muhammad Alsharif Jazakallahu khairan for your very educative writeup. It helps us a lot. May Almighty Allah rewards you in this world and hear after

Live a life better beyond your contributions to the Islamic society Ameen

Its well said,we think success,is in this world,but The prophet Muhammad (saw) said we should live like we will never see tomorrow.& also said when we die our eyes see more.

Absorbing facts and eye opening ones too. Understanding religion opens our perspective towards life and changes our priorities. Alhamdolillah

Jazakallah ya Sheikh for this wonderful reminder.

i like it,very true definition of success in the Roshni of QURAN n HADITH “Of course success is not only worldly achievements..

Sir, sucess can be defined in many ways be it physical,mental attitude or spiritual achievement. MOST HONOURA BLE in line with Allah has command to all humans.- That ALLAH is All Providence All Knowing All Benevolent declared in Al Quran that He create All Beings To Know Him. And whoever intimately knows Him has achieve Spiritual Success and being Examplary to All Mankind

Indeed, Am more Satisfied beign a Muslim with this little but mighty piece

Jazakallahu Khairan
