We have all, without doubt, experienced stubborn challenges in life. Failures and setbacks can drain us of every ounce of energy we possess. They can cloud our judgement and have a detrimental effect on our emotional well-being. Difficult situations also can drastically slow down our productivity and extinguish the flame of passion within us that keeps us striving towards our dreams.

Success is the ultimate desire for all of us and a Muslim yearns for success not only in this Dunya but also in Akhirah. We often fear that striving for success in Dunya might destroy our success of Akhirah. Instead of fearing it, let’s face it. We have only one life where we can act according to our choice. We must take care that our choices and actions of this Dunya are such that fetch us success of both the worlds.
