Becoming Acquainted with the Means for Achieving Prosperity & Happiness — Softcover


The book reflects on a short chapter of the Qur’an that declares the true means of success — upholding faith, performing good deeds, calling others to Islam, and remaining patient through life’s tests. It emphasizes that prosperity is not measured by temporary gains, but by a believer’s closeness to Allah and the fulfillment of divine standards. Islam teaches that happiness and salvation are achieved not by worldly pursuits alone but through a life aligned with revealed guidance and sincere dedication to Allah.

From Author:

Within this Magnificant Qurʾān, which Allāh spoke, He illustrated the means for achieving prosperity, salvation, and happiness. Allah who is most truthful, swore that salvation, happiness, or prosperity are all impossible to achieve in this life as well as the Hereafter unless by these four means:

• First means: ʾĪmān
• Second means: Righteous Deeds
• Third means: Daʿwah to Allāh
• Fourth means: Patience

These are the means and qualities one embodies to be among the prosperous. These are also the means for achieving salvation and happiness, so who is the One that informed us of this? Simple, it is Allāh who mentioned it His Magnificant Book. To be more specific, Allāh cited these means in one of the shortest chapters of the Qurʾān, which will be recited until the Day of Resurrection.
The great Imām ash-Shāfiʿī mentioned about this chapter:
“Had Allāh only revealed this chapter has a proof to be established for or against His creation; then this would be sufficient.”
