On The Successful One.

Assalam alaikum,
  The Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, was reported to have said:--

     "HE IS SUCCESSFUL WHO HAS ACCEPTED ISLAM, WHO HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH
      SUFFICIENT FOR HIS WANTS AND BEEN MADE CONTENTED BY ALLAH WITH WHAT
      HE HAS GIVEN HIM".  [Sahih Muslim].

 These days when people say 'so and so' is very successful, what they mean is he/she is making a lot of money. With this Noble Hadith, we understand who qualifies to be called successful. It is not having car x, house in y and a job z but:- Islam, Fulfilled Needs and Possession of a Thankful Heart. Note this well.
