    About this ebook

    “Not alike are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise.  It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful.” (Quran 59:20)

    God tells us in the Quran that the inhabitants of the fire and the inhabitants of the garden are not alike.  It is those who live in the garden that are the achievers, they are the successful ones.  A good end that culminates in an eternal home of bliss is the reward for a successful life.  How then do we define a successful life?  Is it riches beyond compare, or perhaps good health, some might argue it is happiness or a stress free existence.  Just how does Islam define success?

    Google defines success as the accomplishment of an aim or a purpose.  It says that its opposite is failure; failure to accomplish the aim or purpose.  In these times we are inclined to think of success as a spacious house, an overseas holiday or fame.  People work hard for these small successes and they are not to be trivialised however such success is transient.  As the saying goes, you can’t take it with you and Islam tells us, the only things you can take with you to the grave are your deeds.  Prophet Muhammad said, “Three things follow the dead person to his grave, two of which return and one of which remains with him.  His family, money and deeds accompany him [to the grave], then his family and wealth return, and his deeds stay with him.  “

    “Everyone shall taste death.  And only on the Day of resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full.  And whoever is removed away from the fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful.  The life of this world is only a deceiving thing.” (Quran 3:185)

    In his traditions Prophet Muhammad tells us that, the one who has accepted Islam is successful, the one who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and is content with what God has given him is successful.  Submitting to the will of God makes a person successful.   This does not necessarily mean that one is rich or healthy or even constantly happy.   

    With the acceptance of Islam comes great responsibility, we are now responsible for our own happiness and for our own success.  And success, as we are beginning to discover is the ultimate prize.  If we are judged successful Paradise becomes our eternal abode; health, wealth and happiness now become eternal.  Success in Islam is defined as achieving the ultimate result, or Paradise.  Whatever success we achieve along the way whether it is financial, health related or a satisfying lifestyle is finite.  It will come to an end.
