Islam offers a comprehensive worldview that encompasses both spiritual and worldly success. The Quran and the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) provide a wealth of wisdom on achieving success. From striving for excellence in all endeavors to seeking knowledge and relying on Allah, Islamic teachings emphasize balance, patience, and gratitude. Success, in an Islamic context, is not merely material gain but a holistic well-being that includes spiritual growth, community contribution, and adherence to divine guidance.
