So hope is a mental phenomenon such that the more it is based on reality and truth the more suitable and efficient it is. A wish on the contrary refers to something, which is unobtainable, and there is no hope or indication that it may happen in the future.

A wish is expressed through phrases such as: “I wish it was…”, “I wish something like that happens….” Therefore, human beings with far reaching wishes are forced to waste his mental energy in formulating reasons, reforming what he perceives as reality, and eliminating illogical selections of the truth. In this expression wishing is a kind of want that is unobtainable. So it might become the source of negative effects in the future and shortcomings in duties related to the present.

A far-reaching and unrealistic wish distances the human from Allah, and destroys his education and training. Allah said to Prophet Musa (A.S): “ O Musa do not have far reaching wishes in this world because you will become hard-hearted. Constructive Hope Hope and good opinion towards Allah is the secret of many individual, social, moral and material successes.

This world holds an important place in the dictionary of Islamic education, and the verse of the Holy Qur’an encourages hope in Allah and reproach hopelessness in Allah’s grace. Allah wants the sinners to return to Him with hope in His grace and to repent. It is the only way to restrain deviation and direct man to the right path. Allah in the Qur’an says: **“** O my servants!

Who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah…”(Holy Qur’an 39:53) In this verse, Allah speaks to the sinners using the word ‘My slaves’ and this shows how He is merciful and compassionate to his servants. Some-times you encounter people that say, “Despite being optimist and hopeful I never embrace success in my life”.

I want to be virtuous and a believer, I want to be unselfish and helpful, I want to study and be good humored but I don’t know what the obstacle in my way is? And how I can succeed? Success and Lack of Success Success is attaining which man wills for, both moral and material affairs. Of course success is not due to the mere talent of the person but it is related to her/his efforts and endeavors.

In this way a virtuous person with strong will power and control over the things which enters his heart and mind and his selfish needs will succeed. Man uses all his mental, psychological and physical powers in order to succeed.
