Success

 Success and failure in the eyes of Islam

My manners to my respected readers We should always keep in mind that the success and the position and rank we get in the world after tireless work and struggle is only related to the limits of the world but If we want success in both this world and the hereafter, there are many things in our daily routine that we can achieve success by following them, but unfortunately, we have neither attention nor vision and all this is due to our religion. The result of distance is to mention these minor but important matters, read the story of an old man, you will learn a lot. Some people came to meet you and saw that there are many rats here, some of them are going to one side and some of them are going to the other side. So he said, "Yes, I am trying. It is the will of the Lord of the Universe." One of the people who came said, "Don't worry, I will bring you a pet cat." He said, "What will she do?" Mice will eat and some mice will run away from the cat.

After hearing this, the elder asked where those who will run away will go. They said that they will go from there to the neighboring houses. The elder said, "No, then let them stay. A neighbor got hurt because of me. Sir, this seems very trivial, but what is the success of being a good neighbor if the neighbor is angry with us and it is permissible for him to be angry, then we do not even know what is the punishment for us, but you can estimate it from a hadith. That once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was visiting with the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said, "By Allah, he cannot be a believer." And when he repeated this for the third time, the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that even if he did not swear, we were completely sure of what he said. Then, in a curious tone, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) asked who is the one for whom he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) swore by Allah three times? So he said that a person whose work or habit does not make his neighbor happy and worried about him.

My respected readers, this means that we have no idea how much success and punishment are involved in the things that we often do not give importance to. They will be like the old man whom we mentioned who tolerated the mice in the house in view of the pain of the neighbor. In fact, where we are living our lives, we have found the meaning of success to be that of accumulating wealth and wealth. Building properties, having accounts in many different banks and having a lot of money because yes is necessary for our happy life, but we should think that the real successful person is the one who is called successful by the Qur'an, the one who revealed the Qur'an is called successful and the one on whom the Qur'an is called successful. When he landed, he was considered successful.

My respected readers, first of all, we have to see what rules and regulations Allah has laid down for losses and success in this world and the hereafter, we go to the Qur'an. Allah, the Exalted and Exalted, clearly said that the translation of Kinzal-e-Iman is "The oath of the Beloved of the Time, Verily man is in loss, except those who believed and did good deeds and urged each other to the truth and enjoined patience on each other." Hazrat Imam Shafi'i, may God bless him and grant him peace, has described the blessed verse as the summary of the Holy Qur'an Furqan Hameed. Got it.

My dear and honorable readers, may Allah SWT, by laying down the principles of both failure and success in this blessed Surah, have told us Imam Ahlus Sunnah Mujaddid Din wa Millat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Fazil Barilvi, may God bless him and grant him peace, in a very beautiful and authentic way. While translating, he said that Allah swore by the time of His beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said that man is at loss, that is, those who spend their temporary and short life only to earn wealth, build properties and He allowed you to attain a position here and disobeyed his Lord, then they are in great loss and a great punishment is prepared for them in the coming days. Even here there is a mention of those people who are apparently called very successful people in the world but According to Allah, the Highest, and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, they are among the failed people.

While giving the good news in this surah, Allah, the Exalted, says, "But those who believe and do good deeds, i.e., those who spend their lives in obedience to Allah, the Exalted, do good deeds, and lead people to Allah, Exalted is His punishment." He warned them to tell the truth, that is, to speak the truth, and to persevere in the sufferings and hardships of religion. Indeed, those people are successful in this world, and a special place has been set for them in the Hereafter. Now see if A person starts a business by investing a certain amount, then the money that he invested is called Morri in business language and his aim is to earn his profit from this Morri. If the time comes to spend, then he realizes that now he is at a loss. Just like the life of this world is as short as the amount of money given to us. Do we exhort people to the truth? Do we convey the message of Allah Almighty to the people? Public invitation to goodness? Do you bequeath patience to people for the troubles and sufferings that come to them? Now it all depends on us how we live this temporary life of ours.

Whenever the Companions (Alaihim Al-Rizwan) used to gather for a business matter, at the end any one of the Companions would recite Surah Asr and when the recitation was completed, then all the Companions would disperse from there, i.e. understanding their loss and profit towards their business. In fact, it is the nature of man that he happy to live his life as a happy and successful person in the world. If he achieves that goal and reaches that destination, then if he achieves his goal and destination, then he considers himself a successful person, and if his dreams remain unfulfilled, then he considers himself a successful person. A failed person begins to understand.

My esteemed readers, it is also human nature that if he succeeds in his goals in the world, then his desire is that his success and position should never end and that he should remain forever, then from generation to generation that success. Keep moving forward, but we have two ways of success and failure, one's destination is limited to the limits of the world while the other's destination is forever. You become a successful person, while the other way is that in which you become successful in the eyes of Allah, the Exalted, and the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).

My respected readers, the success and failure that we are not related to people, but to Allah Tabarak wa Taali and His Beloved, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the eternal life of the hereafter. Failure has been mentioned in the Holy Qur'an by the Lord of the Universe in many Surahs, such as in Surah Al-Mu'minin, verses 102 to 104, the Lord of the Worlds says, "Those whose scales are light, those who lose their lives will forever be in Hellfire." If they stay, the fire will cover their faces and they will hide their faces in it. They will stay in hell forever, the fire will lick their holes and their jaws will come out.

The real success in Islam is that when a person's good deeds are weighed if his forehead becomes heavy because of his good deeds and he is declared worthy of heaven, then he is successful, and whoever's forehead is light because of his sins, he is destined for hell. If he is declared deserving, he will be a failure and a loser according to Islam. All these things have been mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in many places.

My respected readers, we have to admit that the life of this world is temporary and short life and the fruits of our actions in this short time will be rewarded in the eternal life of the hereafter. People who, instead of being happy with the temporary success of this world, should prepare themselves for the life of the hereafter and try to develop in themselves the qualities mentioned in the Holy Qur'an to achieve success there. Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, may God bless him and grant him peace, says about the success of His Holiness

"What should I ask the sages about my origin?

That I live in this worry, what is my end?

Elevate yourself so much that before every destiny

Ask the servant of God himself and tell him what is your pleasure

We pray to Allah, the Exalted and Exalted, that Allah, the Exalted, may take from us the work in this world, the fruit of which we will also get in the form of Paradise, and on the day of Muhshar, we too will be successful in the eyes of the Lord of the Universe and the Government, Amen, Amen, for the Prophet. Al-Kareem, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

آمین آمین بجاہ النبی الکریم صلی اللہ علیہ والیہ وسلم ۔
