Success in the eyes of Islam
Success is one of the tools of human transit. We constantly strive to establish ourselves at various levels of worldly life. The fighting spirit helps us to achieve our goals. We get a taste of the success that can be achieved through long perseverance or constant effort. The difference between a successful person's social attitude towards a successful person and a failed person's heavenly land. Successful and established person deserves respect and dignity in the world. On the other hand, the failed person is the object of neglect and insignificance everywhere. We usually judge one's success in terms of the progress and prosperity of the world. We measure success by the measure of money, fame, fortune, splendor, influence and fame.
Improved character, human values, development of spiritual consciousness, etc. are beyond the bounds of our success. Outwardly, the more money, fame and influence he has, the more successful he is. When someone is established in business, we call him a successful businessman. He is a successful actor who has made a huge impact in the world of acting. The more patients he has, the more successful the physician. Most recently, the more successful a speaker is, or the more likes he has on Facebook and the more followers and subscribers he has on YouTube, the more successful he is. All of this is the key to success in our eyes, although Shariat is another matter.
In the eyes of Islam, the success of the world is not the ultimate success, but the success of the worldly life is the greatest success. After a long study and a great deal of research, a student is not established in life, he is frustrated, his morale is broken. He adopts his own frustration and separates it from his family and society. His friends got established and successful by getting government jobs, But even if you don't get a job, there is no difficulty in living with self-respect. The lives of many meritorious students are crushed in the mill of corruption. Many talented lives are the victims of cruel ridicule in the coral grass of fraud. The intense desire to put a smile on the face of parents and other family members through radiant knowledge has faded day by day. The guilt of such failure is to be borne by us all our lives. One should always remember that extreme failure awaits in the hereafter. The failure of this life is only temporary.
However, the responsibility of understanding money and resources is much more with talent. Nabi Kareem (sm) said,

'Surely the world is for four classes of people. The first class person is the one to whom Allah has given both money and knowledge. He feared his Lord about it, and passed on his wealth to his relatives. And he knows the truth of God. He has the highest level. The second-class person, to whom God has given knowledge but has not given money, is the right decision maker. He said in his mind, if I had money, I would act like such a person (honestly). That depends on his intentions. As a result, their virtues are equal. 3rd class person, to whom Allah has given money but not knowledge. He squanders his wealth unknowingly. He does not fear his Lord when it comes to wealth. He does not pass on his wealth to his relatives and does not know the right of Allah in wealth. He is the one who has the lowest level. 4th class person, who has not been given any money or knowledge, then he says, If I had been paid, I would have acted like that person. In fact, it depends on his intentions. As a result, their sins are equal.[1]

That is, success in this world can be an obstacle to success in the Hereafter. So what I think is the source of happiness and peace in this world can be the cause of misery in the hereafter. Can bring about the ultimate darkness of permanent failure.
Numerous descriptions of success have been presented in different places of the Holy Quran. Happiness-prosperity, pleasure-luxury, wealth-splendor of the world have been highlighted as trivial objects. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): And whomsoever Thou hast saved from evil, Thou hast blessed him on the Day of Resurrection. And that is the great success' (Gaffer 40/9) .
The word 'tawakwa' or fear of God is intimately associated with the subject of 'great success' described in the last part of the verse. Because the real meaning of the word 'Tbakwa' is to survive or protect. The word 'tbakwa' is especially used in the sense of a shield. The main goal of 'Twakwar' is to be protected from all evils, evils and indecent acts. The person who is protected from injustice is as God-fearing. And the person with the skin will be the most successful. It is for them that Allah declares, إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا 'Surely for the pious there is success '
Twakwai is one of the ways and the main controller of success. There is no success in establishing one's life by devouring the rights and possessions of others regardless of the legal or illegal means, but it is inherent in refraining from wrongdoing. Although society sees him as a failed or unsuccessful person. The Prophet (sm) said, فوالله لا الفقر أخشى عليكم أنيا تبسط عليكم كما أهلكم عليكم الدنيا تبسط عليكم الدنيا تبسط عليكم الدنيا تبسط عليكم الدنيا تبسط عليكم الدنيا تبسط عليكم الدني الدقا القرآن: By Allah! I do not fear poverty for you, but fear that the world may be expanded for you, as was done for those before you. As a result, you will be competing for it, just as they did for it. And it will destroy you as it destroyed them. ' [2]
The relevant Prophet Kareem (sm) made peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Ala-binul Hazrami as emir for them. Abu Obaida ibn Jarrah was sent to Bahrain to collect taxes. He came to Nabi Kareem (sm) with tax goods. When the Anshars appeared before the Prophet (sm) after the Fajr salat, he saw them and smiled a little and said, accept the good news, hope that it will make you happy. At such a moment, he did not distribute the resources, but before the destruction of the aforesaid nation, he warned the Ansars about the competition of worldly illusions, illusions and abundance. The fears he expressed about us are now being reflected step by step, the success of the world seems to be our last word. That's why we don't care about anything. We judge success by all means. All the religious qualities of a person, brilliant talent, Today's civilized society is afraid to give her a girl even though all kinds of advanced character traits are present. Just because you got a job and didn't get established. We hand over the certificate of success to those who have forgotten the Hereafter because of such a failed failure in the eyes of the society. But there is no place where Prophet Kareem (sm) did not warn us about the world.
Narrated by Abu Sayed Khudri (R), he said, Prophet (sm) said, إن الدنيا حلوة خضرة وإن الدنيا حلوة خضرة فينظر كيف تعملون فاتقوا الدنيا واتقوا النساء فإن أول فتنت بنى إسرائيل كانت فى النساء. 'Surely this world is a lush green thing. God has sent you here as a representative to see what you are doing. So stay away from the world and stay away from women. For the first time, there was a fitna among the Israelites, centering on women. [3]
Narrated from Uqba bin Amer, he said,
Sikeshim (IMAG) imany Kynoun تُشْرِكُوا بَعْدِى, وَلَكِنْ خأَافُ عَلَيْكُمْنْ تْنَافَسُوْا فِيْهَا-
Once the Holy Prophet (sm) came out and performed salat on the martyrs of Uhud. As he performs salat for the dead. Then he returned to the pulpit and said: I am your forerunner, I will be a witness for you. By God! I want to see my house now. I was given the keys to all the treasures in the world. By God! I do not fear shirk for you after my death; On the contrary, my fear is that you will be competing with each other over the world. ' [4]
Unfortunately, this is not always the case. By no means do we want to convey that we recommend for the mother to be inactive. It cannot be the work of a prudent person to ruin real success in the pursuit of momentary happiness and prosperity. Allah says, وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَى, 'Surely the Hereafter is better for you than this world' (John 93/4) .
We have no doubt that the competition for wealth for the sake of success in this world has created obstacles for people in the hereafter. That is why Allah, the Exalted, says :
Those who have not succeeded or established themselves by gaining worldly fame and fortune will be seen to have attained the entrance of Paradise much earlier than the worldly successful people on the Day of Resurrection. Prophet Kareem (sm) said, “The poor Muslims enter Paradise before their singers on the day of Judgment and they are the fifth of the common people. 'The poor Muslims will enter Paradise half a day earlier than the rich, and that will be (according to the calculation of the days of the world) five hundred years.' [5]
Elsewhere, the Prophet (sm) said, إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ َْغْنِيَائِهِمْ بِخَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ, ' [6]
The abundance and abundance of wealth has fascinated people. We do not care about the rights of the people associated with wealth. On the one hand, the source of earned wealth must be purified, on the other hand, the sources of wealth expenditure must be purified. If the rights associated with wealth are not properly realized, it can be one of the reasons for failure on the Day of Resurrection.
Money is the object of deception and fraud. One of the tools to turn people away from God. That is why this hadith of Sahih Muslim can show us the right path in this worldly life. Narrated from Abdullah bin Yazid, he said,
Three Nefer came to Abdullah bin Amr ibn al-Aas and I have, said: O Abu Muhammad, I am, and God is what we appreciate for anything that is not expensive, no fondness, and do not, and he said, " If you will hear the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), I heard the Messenger of Allaah.
'A group of three came to' Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As, and I was with him. They said, O Abu Muhammad! (Title of Amr Ibnul Asr) By Allah, we have no power to spend on sustenance, transportation and food. He said to them, 'What do you want? If you wish, come back to us. We will give you something by which Allah will make easy for you the means of subsistence. And if you wish, I will present your case to the ruler (Sultan). And if you wish, you can be patient. Because I have heard Allah's Prophet Muhammad (sm) say that the poor emigrants will leave their rich behind on the Day of Resurrection and enter Paradise forty years ago. On hearing this, they said, "But we will be patient. We do not want anything." [7]
There is good news for those who fail in our eyes in this world today. The burden of their reckoning in the Hereafter is much less. The way out of hell is also very easy and convenient. If they can bear the scarcity. The one who will be saved from the fire of Hell is the most successful person in the Hereafter. That is why Allah says: فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا রাখাِلَّا مَطَاعُ الْغُرُورِ In fact, worldly life is nothing but a means of deception ' (Ale Imran 3/165) .
The word jahzah (زحزح) in the above verse demands a slightly different interpretation. The original four-letter word means - to move away a little bit, to displace. Readers must have felt the waves in the word. Since the term has been used as inactive. So it means that a person cannot stay away from the fire of hell unless he is kept away from the fire. And that will be the biggest success. So getting rid of the fire of Hell will undoubtedly be a great success. The idea of getting rid of the fire of Hell is derived from the word 'Jahjaha' mentioned above. Its application can be seen in only one other place in the Holy Qur'an, where it is clearly stated that gaining a long life cannot save a person from fire. God Almighty says, ولتجدنهم أحرص الناس على حياة ومن الذين أشركوا يود أحدهم لو هو بمر والله بصير بما يعملون- You will get them more than long life, even more than the polytheists. Each one of them wishes to live a thousand years. But such longevity will not keep them away from punishment. And Allah sees what they do. '(Baqarah 2/98) .
It has been narrated in the hadith of Ammar from Adi Ibn Hatim (R) that he said that the Prophet (sm) said,
Plaoh of member, IMBLAN - Flying Ben Cayunear, Fishing Overbean Meh
'Allah will speak to each of you, where there will be no translator between them. He will look to his right, then he will see nothing but the deeds sent before. If you look to the left, you will see nothing but what he has sent. Then he will look in front of him, then he will see nothing but the fire of Hell in front of him. Then you will be saved from the fire of Hell, even if it is with a part of a date. ' [8]
Needless to say, escaping the fires of hell is the greatest achievement. The more prepared we are in the world to be saved from the dreadful punishment, the more successful he is. In this regard it has been narrated in the hadith, narrated from Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari (R), he said, the Holy Prophet (sm) said,
الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيْمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ. The World Of The Wantan of Rendation Radio Bahhot Forums Holiness is an integral part of faith. Alhamdulillah (all praise be to Allah) fills the scales. And subhanallah, wal hamdulillah (glorification of Allah and praise of Allah) fills, or whatever is between the heavens and the earth. Salat Alo, Chadakba (Giving) Proof, Patience is Light, and Quran is evidence for or against you. Every person is selling himself in the morning for ransom (from the fire of hell) or for throwing himself into destruction '. [9] Allah says, لَا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ, The dwellers of Hell and the dwellers of Paradise are never equal. The inhabitants of Paradise are the successful ' (Hashr 59/20) .
In view of the above discussion, it is clear that the one who is saved from the fire of Hell and attains Paradise is the real successful person. The scope of success in the world is very wide and the range is also very versatile. Let us not forget the ultimate and great success by getting the key to the success of the world in our hands. That is why one should always be careful. May Allah bless us all to make all preparations for that terrible day - Amen!
