Success is a Salaah away.

Problems. Every human at some point in his /her life will be tested with these. These are further expounded with attempts to 'solve' the said problems through vices such as gambling,alcohol,drugs and immorality when the answers to our problems are simply a Salaah away..

5 times daily The Adhaan so beautifully invites with the words :

	حي على الفلاح	Hayya ʿala 'l-falāḥ	Hasten to success.

How is it then that Still, we look for solutions and success in every other avenue?

Salaah was gifted to this Ummah. No other preceding Ummah was given Salaah as it is prescribed to us. So undoubtedly this 5 daily Salaah is A gift because In it we are afforded the opportunity to talk to our Creator. To ask of the One who controls the Heavens and the Earth, to cry to Him who can remove all affliction if He so wills, To seek forgiveness from the Most Merciful and to seek peace and contentment in a world fraught with unease. It is absolutely astounding that so often so many of us turn down this invite, we ignore the call to Pray to our Allah , and Allah forbid, we turn away from the path of true success.

Put Allah first, put Salaah and the obedience of Allah first and watch how our lives will be transformed. Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to the feeling when you have performed Salaah on it's appointed time. With Salaah comes happiness and success in both worlds, and what more do we need after that?

Contentment

Ive kept my title simple because I  don't think many of us fully grasp this concept. I count myself amongst the unfortunate who keep striving for more, for bigger for supposedly better in this lowly world. When does it end, is it only when we enter the grave?

If we were wise It would end at contentment. 

con·tent·ment   (kən-tĕnt′mənt) n. 1. The state of being contented; satisfaction. 2. A source of satisfaction

The quest for worldly increase stops at Being happy with what Allah has chosen for us . 

Live for happier, live for peace ,live for Jannah. 

Quit trying to keep up with the kardashians(I'm led to believe they are the new joneses). As much of this world  they may have ,They don't have it all. Happiness is not merely what you have in your hand, it's what  is concealed in your head and heart.. 

Until you read again

Ma'assalam
