The Gap Between Knowing and Doing in Islamic Life

Success is a believe system and an attitude. Some of the characteristics of successful people that I think are:

  1. they are highly disciplined, follow critical rules and procedures
  2. they work hard which is putting mind, body and soul in all tasks
  3. they try their level best in everything they do
  4. they improve themselves in critical elements of skills, attitude and knowledge
  5. they learn from mistakes and not repeat the same mistakes
  6. they challenge themselves with new opportunities
  7. they like to seek skills and knowledge to update them
  8. they like to read books and published materials not only in the area of their expertise but beyond
  9. they share their knowledge with as many people as possible
  10. they possess the heart of a kind person, not greedy in worldly matters
  11. they have patience in many things, but do not tolerate things that affect others’ time
  12. they target perfection, but are not perfectionist
  13. they are always systematic and have systems for most things at work and in life
  14. they are happy and grateful with all that God has given them, for they obey ALLAH
  15. they feel contented with their wealth and health. Always praying for guidance from All-Mighty Allah. Rabbana atina fiddunya hasanah wa fil akhiratil hasanah, wa kina azabannar.

Success is your choice and the ultimate success is to be able to enter paradise from the Mercy of Allah through following the teachings of Islam.

May you all succeed and find truth.
