Success is the accomplishment of the purpose of our creation and Allah has already provided each one of us with the means to strive for what we were created for.
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA): I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Book 1, Hadith 1)
Asma' (RA) reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) & said: I have married my daughter (whose) hair of the head has fallen. Her spouse likes them (the long hair). Allah's Messenger (may add false hair to her head? He forbade her to do this.
(Muslim)
Every morning is a new page in your book of deeds. Fill it with sincere intentions, kind words, and good actions.
Remember — success is not in how much we gain, but in how much we please Allah.
“Indeed, Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good.” — [Qur’an 9:120]
Apologize. Admit your mistake & take full responsibility. It shows your human weakness. You’ll gain a lot more respect that way rather than trying to push the blame to someone else. It’s this self-awareness that allows us to grow and learn from our mistakes.
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced, whose parents, one or both, attain old age during his life time, and he does not enter Jannah (by rendering being dutiful to them)".
(Riyad as-Salihin 317)
Abu Razin Al-Uqaili (RA) narrated: That he went to the Prophet (SAW) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My father is an elderly man who is not able to perform Hajj nor Umrah nor undertake a journey.' He said: 'Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and perform Umrah.'"
(Tirmidhi)
Anas bin Malik (RA) narrated that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I tie it and rely(upon Allah), or leave it loose and rely(upon Allah)?" He said: "Tie it and rely(upon Allah)."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2517, Book 37, Hadith 103)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A time will soon come when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions."
(Bukhari)
Choose kindness above all else. Kind people use positivity to create more light. That’s because they’ve seen what negativity can do. They make time for others in a world that doesn’t wait for anyone. It takes strength to shake off all the bad and move ahead.
You may feel forgotten, ignored, or misunderstood by the people around you. But the One who created you knows your heart better than you do. And He will never leave you empty.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden."
(Bukhari)
Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): "Satan comes to one of you and says, 'Who created so-and-so?' until he says, 'Who has created your Lord?' So, when he inspires such a question, one should seek refuge with Allah and give up such thoughts."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 3276, Book 59, Hadith 85)
