Success In Islam!!!! A MUST SEE reminder for ALL!!!
Allâh (Subhanahu wa ta'ala, meaning: the Exalted, Most Glorious) guides us toward eternal success and hence, happiness. He tells us to read and follow the Qur'ân so that we can believe and worship Him as the Only God, obey His Messenger (s.a.w.) by following His Sunnah and be righteous in this world. In this way, we attain His Mercy. He directs us to follow the Qur'ân and not the desires of those who know not (45:18). He guides us to pray for a well-balanced life to be happy both here and in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Hell-Fire (2:201). In line with this, He guides us to work for our material and spiritual well being both in this life and the world to come. He says:

"But seek, with the wealth which Allâh has bestowed on you, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget your portion in this World. But do you good, as Allâh has been good to you, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land, for Allâh loves not those who do mischief." (28:77)

"And when the prayer is finished, then may you disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allâh: and remember Allâh frequently that you may prosper." (62:10)

Though we are to seek a good life here on earth and in the world to come, Allâh the Almighty guides us to prefer the latter life. The life in the Hereafter is eternal and lasting compared to this temporal world. He says:

"Nothing is the life of this world but play and amusement. But for better is the Home in the Hereafter for those who are pious. Will you not then understand?" (6:32)

"O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that, when you are asked to go forth in the Cause of Allâh, you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter." (9:38)

"Allâh does enlarge, or grant by (strict) measure, the Sustenance (which He gives) to whom so He pleases. They rejoice in the life of this world: but the life of this world is nothing but little comfort compared to the Hereafter." (13:26)

"Know (all), that the life of this world is nothing but play and a pastime, adornment and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude; how rain and the growth, which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; you will see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong) and forgiveness from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allâh). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?" (57:20)

Allâh makes it clear to us that the life of this world is deceiving (6:130). Many people love this fleeting life and neglect the Hereafter (75:20-21). Those who desire the life of the Present and its glitter will suffer in the Fire in the Hereafter (11:15-16). Those who wish for the transitory things (of this life), Allâh will grant them such things as He wills, to such persons as He wills. In the end, however, He has provided for them punishment in Hell. They will burn therein, disgraced and rejected (17:18). Our Creator makes it clear that supreme success is the eternal life in Paradise and that the dwellers of Paradise are the ones who are indeed successful:

"Who is averted from such a torment on that Day, (Allâh) has surely been merciful to him. And that would be the obvious success." (6:16)

"For them Allâh has got ready Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever. That is the supreme success." (9:89)

"They will never taste death therein except the first death (of this world). And He will save them from the Torment of the Blazing Fire as a bounty from your Rabb! That will be the supreme success!" (44:56, 57)

"Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful." (59:20)

  • My dear brother in Islam, I only have one question for you. Do you even know what are you talking about? Since arguing is forbidden in Islam, which i'm assuming you already know, I'm not going to fight and prove that your ideas have flaws, in fact I would suggest that please try to refine your research and claims before you come to the podium next time. Thank you Masalama God bless you

  • @grabless1 Guiding a brother where he is wrong is not arguing. If you think there is some thing wrong then please guide me. May be I am over looking some things.

  • @MyLoveIslam Well, right off the bat, how do you define "quality of life"? I think, most of your speech is based upon your own experiences of life and is also limited to your exposure to different circumstances. Secondly, the intonation that your'e using is kind of over the top it shows anxiety and disappointment. You have a lot of good statements too but the way you're delivering the message appears to be somewhat aggressive and way more certain than it should be.

  • @grabless1 Brother, this is not me talking. I just made the video and uploaded. at the end of the day if I need to follow islam then I need to be aggressive. I don't want be like those people who call them Muslims and then they follow half and leave the other half out.

I am a got fearing man and born again Christian but it seems this is what all good men are saying no matter what you call him or where one prays. The key to man kind isn't hard to figure out, living it is! Thank you for the eye opener and reminder!
