12 Good Ways How to Become Successful in Life in Islam


1. Set the Intention Right


Everything begin with the intention. If we start something with the right intention, to seek for blessing from Allah SWT, it will be easier for us. When we are working hard to be successful by looking at Allah SWT, He will always be with us. It matters more than anything. 


2. Have Passion in Your Efforts


Nobody will be able to reach for their goals unless they have passion in it. Passion is an inner drive that motivates us to always work even harder and not giving up. Passion is main ingredients for success as it works as machine who keeps us alive.


“Even so, there are some who choose to worship others besides God as rivals to Him, loving them with the love due to God, but the believers have greater love for God.” (2:165)


3. Give the Best on Work


One can dream as high as possible, but dream will remain dream if you don’t work to make it true. Your work define your success, as Allah SWT will not change someone unless they have will and work for the change. 


“You who believe, be steadfast, more steadfast than others; be ready; always be mindful of God so that you may prosper.” (3:200)


4. Focus on Success


“Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth [ḥanīf], and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.” (16:120)


If we want to be successful in life, we may take a look at the life of the Prophet. On the verse above, it was Ibrahim who devotedly focus on reaching his goal as a hanif.  Stay focus on what you aim, do it in the right way, and remove all the distractions.


“So proclaim openly [connotation of going through something, like to split the desert in two with your trail] what you have been commanded (to say), and ignore the idolaters.” (15:94)


5. Push the Limits


“But We shall be sure to guide to Our ways those who strive hard for Our cause: God is with those who do good.” (29:69)


Everyone will meet obstacles in their way to success and those who is not strong enough to endure it give up in the middle. Push the wall who stands between you and the success. Have faith that you will eventually reach the end and obstacles are only temporary. 


6. Never Stop Learning


“And whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves.” (42:38)


Another way how to become successful in life in Islam is by never stop learning. Exchange ideas and share minds with others so you can have many things to learn everyday. All those people will help you to reach the success faster than when you are doing it alone. Always look for new ideas, open to new concepts, and never afraid to innovate new things.


7. Improve Everyday


“Seek the life to come by means of what God has granted you, but do not neglect your rightful share in this world. Do good to others as God has done good to you.” (28:77)


A successful person never satisfied with who he is today. He always want to climb higher, be better, and improve everyday. Set a high standard, even for yourself, so that you always want to be better. If you have reach a point of success, don’t stay there for to long. While being grateful to Allah SWT, aim for higher point of success in life. Don’t be lazy and use your time efficiently. Also read How to Improve Faith in Islam


8. Do Good to Others


Before you become a successful person, prove that you are useful and helpful to everyone around you. So that when you reach the top someday, you stay humbled and devote your success for the good of others.


“[Believers], you are the best community singled out for people: you order what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in God.” (3:110)


9. Be Persistence


Despite everyone know that persistence is what they need to reach for success, most of them are unable to be. Persistence is the combination of pushing yourself to the limits and improve everyday. By being persistence, you are always one step closer toward you goals.


Believers, why, when it is said to you, ‘Go and fight in God’s way,’ do you feel weighed down to the ground? Do you prefer this world to the life to come? How small the enjoyment of this world is, compared with the life to come!” (9:38)


10. See Advantage in Disaster


“With every hardship there is ease, with every hardship there is ease.” (94:5-6)


Life is full of surprise, even the unpleasant ones. Always think positive of Allah SWT, because there are blessings in disguise. A clever person is someone who always see good in every unfortunate things.


11. Make Many Friends


Instead of enemy, make as many friends as possible. When you are in a bad relationship with someone, you may have lose a great teacher from whom you can learn a lot. 


“You will see your direst enemy has become your closest friend.” (41”34)


12. Do What is Possible


Between two opportunities, choose one that the most possible. If you are sure about what you’re going to do, it’s easier for you to be successful.


Aisha (RA) said, “Whenever the Prophet had to choose between two options, he always opted for the easier choice.” (Bukhari)

*ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY* - Peace here and hereafter:

 - *What the Prophet(saw) Knew* The Prophet ﷺ and his companions knew something that is not often displayed today. They were able to face difficulty with a certain determination in their heart; they were grateful for even the seemingly small blessings; they took pleasure in praying at night while the people were asleep. What they knew was this: if they sought Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) they would not be let down. This is the secret to the statement of Abu Bakr  radiAllah `anhu (ra) to the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Badr, when the Prophet ﷺ was crying out to Allah (swt) in an impassioned du`a’(supplication) until his cloak fell from his shoulder. Abu Bakr (ra) said, “O Messenger of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you!” And He did- the battle was won by the Muslims. Human desires are insatiable. And for this reason, the more we chase after the dunya (physical world), the less we are sa...

Business Etiquette from Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ :

 * Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ Business Etiquette* - In Islam, trade has always been recognised as an important aspect of human life. Before revelation came to Prophet ﷺ, he earned his living as a trader. His integrity and veracity were quickly noticed by his employer, Sayyida Khadijah (RA), who later married him.  *★ Sadiq and Ameen* It was a result of his ﷺ honesty and noble character that he ﷺ was called as 'Sadiq' (truthful) and 'Ameen' (trustworthy) amongst the Makkans. Hazrat Abu Sufianؓ  (the bitterest enemy of Islam before he accepted Islam) said: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against Allah ﷻ. The Makkans agreed unanimously that Allah's Messenger ﷺ was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir (ra) asked his son Ammar (ra), where he was going. Ammar (ra) said that he was going to the Prophet ﷺ. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with him ﷺ, he replied: "Muhammad ﷺ...

Quran: we will be able to take benefit out of it, if only we read it, understand it and bring it into our lives:

 - Understand this with a story: A BEGGAR WITH A TREASURE- An old woman was begging in front of a masjid. A man said to her, "Your son is capable of earning, then why are you begging here?"  The woman replied, "My husband has passed away and my son went foreign for a job. While going, he had given me some money for my expenses, which I have already spent and now I have no money, that is why I am begging here." The man asked again, "Doesn't your son send you anything from the foreign country?" The old lady replied, "Yes, my son keep sending me a colourful paper every month that I keep pasting on the wall." The man then went to her house and saw that 60 bank drafts were pasted on the wall. Each draft was of ₹50,000. Not wise enough, thus she did not know how much wealth she had at her home. The man explained to her the value of the drafts and how to cash them.  Our condition is also the same as that of the old woman. We have the Qur'an, we ...

Allah willed a righteous spouse based on Niyah, Du'a and belief in qadr of Allah:

I would interpret this as Choosing Wisely and equating it to "Tying the camel". Yes, The Qur'an says: “Women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity.” (24:26) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, for her rank, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character), so marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper.” (Bukhari) So yes, we must choose well but ultimately it comes down to Niyah, Du'a and belief in Qadr of Allah. This is the only equation that leads anywhere worthwhile. This is also hikmah. For a person who lacks hikmah will not understand the need for this.  A long long time ago, when it was my turn to "tie the knot" I am sure that I would have messed up, if Allah has not taken charge and willed for me the partner I have today. Alhamdulillah! But here is where I say there is more to this....this is a THREE part series. Allah willed a ri...

# The Invisible Foundation: How Islamic Scholarship Built the Modern West:

 - The history of "Western" knowledge is often told as a straight line from Ancient Greece to the European Renaissance. However, modern scholarship reveals that this narrative has a massive "missing middle."  For over five hundred years, the Islamic Golden Age did not just "preserve" ancient knowledge—it revolutionized it, creating the very empirical and logical tools the West uses today. ## 1. Beyond Preservation: The Birth of Experimentation While the Greeks excelled in deductive reasoning (thinking from general principles), Islamic scholars introduced the **inductive, experimental method**. The most prominent figure was **Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)**. In his *Kitab al-Manazir* (Book of Optics), he rejected the Greek theory that the eye emits light. More importantly, he established that theories must be proven through controlled, repeatable experiments (Piniés, n.d.). This methodological shift is now recognized as the foundational root of the modern scient...

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

 - Muslim science  par excellence  was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory.  Ibn Hazm  said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...
