There is a vast Islamic literature, which includes more than 6000 Divine verses, more than 15000 ahadith of the Prophet, more than 300 sermons & duas of Imams and a huge stock of books by Ulama, all this just to tell with all minor and major details about, What is a successful life and how to get the ultimate success.
How can we accomplish the purpose of our life It is very important to understand fully and correctly what should be the primary and ultimate aim of our life which should never be compromised with anything in any circumstances. Quran has told us in a very decisive manner that the Divine purpose of creation is to worship Him. Every second of our life should be spent in His worship.
This means that worship doesn't mean traditional or ritual worship in which we do cer tain acts prescribed in the shariah. Worship means to follow His commandments in every action. Some key points of successful life. 1 - The first and foremost thing in the agenda of life is the true intention of total submission to Allah Subhanahu taala. i.e., we should have this feeling in the hear t of our heart. We should please Allah Subhanahu taala by all possible means.
We should do anything and everything to seek His pleasure and His nearness. 2 - We should know this fact very well that every pleasure and success in this world is of temporary nature. The real success is the success of Akherah. Thus, we should not do anything at the expense of Akherah. Quran has repeatedly warned the residents of planet earth that their stay on earth is pretty short. Every intelligent person at least knows this fact. 3 - Acquire useful knowledge to strengthen Emaan.
Quran has stressed on the exploration of the universe and study of nature. "Indeed: In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are signs for men of understanding, those that remember Allah when standing, sitting and lying down, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): Lord, you have not created these in vain.
Glory be to You: save us from the torment of the fire." (3:190) Thus, it is important to ponder in the vast creation of Allah Subhanahu taala in order to glorify His majesty. Today, the Western scientists have collected a large amount of information about the universe and its innumerable entities through their researches and explorations.
