The Successful One.

 Assalam alaikum,

 The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was reported to have said:--

          ''HE IS SUCCESSFUL WHO HAS ACCEPTED ISLAM, WHO HAS BEEN PROVIDED

          WITH SUFFICIENT FOR HIS WANTS AND BEEN MADE CONTENTED BY ALLAH WITH

          WHAT HE HAS GIVEN HIM''. [ Muslim ]

 These days when people say so and so is very successful, what they mean is he is making a lot of money. By this noble Hadith, we understand who qualifies to be called successful. It is not having car x, house in y and a job z but:-- Islam, Needs fulfilled and Possessing a thankful heart. Note this accordingly.

  Regards.

 

 

Very true subhanAllah.  I think its important for a person to adapt Islam with sincerity (Ikhlas) and then these factors will automatically be more apparent to them.
