Tired of failing? 😟

The word failure is enough to turn us away from it and strive for success, no matter what material gains a man may make as a result of that success, because the word failure implies failure and loss, and the word success implies perfection and praise. 👏

Failure and success are two sides of the same coin, although they may seem contradictory at first glance. But, in fact, they are connected if he thinks about them, based on daily experience and in real life. 🦿

Success is the path that Allah desires as the goal for all believers. He has created the universe and subdued it to accomplish this goal. Allah has commanded man to believe, and has asked him to submit completely to Him. 🤲

“وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ”
“And I have created the jinn (fiery natured and houghty) and the (ordinary) people only that they may worship Me.”
📜 (Quran 51:56)

So success is the story of life, the purpose for which Allah has created the universe. He only sent the Messengers and revealed the Books to call people to achieve success before Allah. He has ordered certain matters to motivate us to achieve success in this world and in the Hereafter.

Allah ordained a good life in this world for those who follow the path of success:

“وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا”
“But whosoever does deeds of righteousness be it male or female, provided he (or she) is a believer, it is these, then who shall enter Paradise and shall not be treated unjustly even (so much as) the groove in a date-stone.”
📜 (Quran 4: 124)

These motives are the things that prepare the believer to reach the highest levels of success. He always strives to develop his talents and learn skills from him, and develop in economic, social, moral and educational areas. 👀

Allah knows that the successful believer who strives is better than the one who is frivolous or lazy, who gains nothing from his laziness but losses both in religious and worldly terms. 😐

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“The strong believer is better and more loved by Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive to do what is beneficial for you and seek the help of Allah, and do not feel helpless.
If something happens to you, do not say “If only I had done (this or that thing), this or that other would have happened”, rather say: “Allah has ordered it, and He does according to His will”, since saying “yes it only “opens the door to Satan’s work.”

📓 Narrated by Muslim (2664).

The door of repentance that Allah, praised be He, has opened for those who make mistakes and faults is another incentive to overcome failure and achieve success, especially if the one who makes a mistake learns from his experience. One of the salafs said: A sin that generates humiliation and repentance is better than an act of obedience that generates self-admiration and arrogance. 🧎

Ultimately, with all of these reasons for achieving success and overcoming failure, there are no excuses for being inactive or lazy. The road is easy, and all it requires of you is some determination, will, power, and wisdom. 💪
