Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. Is there any other way to gain success in this world apart from Islam? Of course there is no doubt that Islam will lead to success in the Hereafter, but what about this world? Please, I need many details about this topic.

Honor lies in obedience to Allah, not in excelling in worldly pursuits
Why does it seem like the Christians and disbelievers have all the honor, with their crafty crafts, such as music and so on and the Muslims do not have better nasheeds (prior to Islam, I used to listen to music) in the sense that they have better rhyme patterns and melodies and so on and it just seems like the disbeliever have more honor in some aspects?..

Fearing that income might be unlawful
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to ask about a very serious matter. It may be silly, but it has effected me very much. I used to pray very much Tahajjud (voluntary night prayer), give Sadaqah (charity), and recite Quran every day, but suddenly something thing happened to me, and it lead me to doubting my faith and even lead me to thinking about suicide. The.. More

Piety is cause for gaining beneficial knowledge
From what I understand from a verse in the Quran [in Surah Al-Baqarah] is that if we fear Allaah, he will teach us. Does that cover all types of knowledge? For example, if I am about to customize a product, and I learn new things gradually that amaze me, things which I find myself surprised to learn, can I say that this is what happens when we fear..

What the heart is and how to know if it is good
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. I have several questions to ask, Allaah willing. What is consideredthe heart in Islam? Do we have knowledge about our hearts? Is it the thoughts that come in one's head, or is it something that is unseen except by Allaah? For instance, if I willingly think 'I love Allaah and His messenger', sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam,..

Attaining Firdaws possible for every Muslim
Assalaamu alaykum, Scholars. I was discussing with the imam of our Islamic communtity how a person can get the highest rank in Paradise (Al-Firdaws), and he told me that each person is skilled in different forms of worship; for instance, a person often fasts voluntarily, another person prays a lot at night, another gives a lot of charity, and he told..

Doing obligatory worship only and dedicating time to worldly advancement
Assalaamu alaykum. Is it permissible for someone to just limit themselves to the obligatory duties of Islam to dedicate most of their time to a wordly, permissible field that they think they will do exceptionally well in? For example, someone wants to be a great mathematician, so they spend almost all their time to be the best at it without neglecting.. More

How to attain Jannatul-Firdaws
Assalaamu alaykum.
1) In the Quran, it is said like, “I have prepared for My slaves what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart can imagine.” Recite if you wish, “No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.” So is 'recite if u wish' a prescribed supplication for Paradise? If it.. More

Deeds leading to Paradise
Assalaamu alaykum. Could you please claryify this sentence for us in this hadith: http://sunnah.com/bukhari/56/5...
"Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allaah and leaving the people secure from his mischief."
What does that refer to? Is jihad not the greatest of acts that leads us to Paradise?.. More

Doing voluntary acts of worship is not an obligation
Assalaamu alaykum. With regard to every good act and/or act of worship, I notice that there are levels, one higher than the other. For example, while there is a reward for saying, 'Assalaamu alaykum', there is a greater reward in adding, 'wa rahmatullaah', and even a greater reward in adding, 'wa barakaatuhu', to it. The same goes for praying, wearing.. More

Rewarding oneself for doing good deed
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to do a certain optional worship daily, but I find it difficult to do that, so to motivate myself, I reward myself. For example, I say to myself, if I do this good deed today, then I will eat such-and-such delicious food in such-and-such restaurant. Is that okay?

Making up missed voluntary good deeds
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I want to know about the following:
1- If one gives Sadaqah (charity money) or saves Sadaqah everyday but out of forgetfulness does not do it, can the person make up for the previous day?
2- If one feeds birds and he happens to forget it one day, can he give them more food the next day instead?
3-.. More

Causes of happiness in this world
I know the hadith that mentions four (causes of happiness: house, neighbor, wife and vehicle) and also the hadith that says that the righteous wife is the best temporary joy. My disbelieving father even says that his disbelieving wife was his greatest joy. My friend who is Muslim says that faith is the best joy. My question is: what are some other hadiths.. More
