The Secret of Success

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn.

BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:

(Qur’ān 03:200). ‘Yā ayyuhā lladhīna amanū isbirū wa ṣābirū wa rābiṭū wa t-taqū Llāha la’allakumu tuflihūn’, ‘O you who have believed, be patient and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying to the believer be patient, and also be patient again and be in the right way, Allah ﷻ will give you the best success insha’Allah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us the way of success. With this, in anything you work or do for Dunya and for Akhirah, you will succeed in the end. Because many people do something and later on they get fed up and leave it. And they lose what they got tired and suffered for a long time for. When they leave this, it is finished, they cannot take anything from it.

Once in Cyprus, a long time ago, there was one student from Damascus studying in the university. He asked Mawlana, “How can I succeed?” Mawlana said to him, “Be steadfast.” To be persistent and consistent in what he does. This is the secret of success. He followed the order of Mawlana. He left Cyprus of course. Because in Cyprus he couldn’t stay studying for many years. But when he asked and accepted this, he succeeded and he has a well job and good life.

May Allah ﷻ make us to be continuous [in what we do] especially for Akhirah, and not leave the good deeds. Of course for Akhirah, what you did from good deeds will not be lost, but you will not get a more and higher rank, a higher position. May Allah ﷻ help us because we are weak. With the help of Allah ﷻ insha’Allah we will succeed insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
