Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “He is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and been made contented by Allaah with what He has given him.” [Muslim] Nowadays when people say, ‘So and so is very successful’ what they mean is, ‘He/she is making a lot of money.’ In the above mentioned hadith Allaah (subhana wa ta’ala) explains who qualifies to be called successful. It’s not having Car X, House in W and Job Z but: 1. Islam. 2. Needs fulfilled. 3. Possession of a thankful heart.
