In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

God gives us many verses in the Quran that spell out the road to success. For example:

[Quran 23:1-4] Successful indeed are the believers; who are reverent during their Contact Prayers (Salat). And they avoid vain talk. And they give their obligatory charity (Zakat).

[Quran 3:200] O you who believe, you shall be steadfast, you shall persevere, you shall be united, you shall observe GOD, that you may succeed.

[Quran 5:35] O you who believe, you shall reverence GOD and seek the ways and means to Him, and strive in His cause, that you may succeed.

[Quran 22:77] O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.

     Formula for Success
[Quran 24:56] You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and obey the messenger, that you may attain mercy.


To attain success all we need to do is follow God's instructions. May God help us to become successful believers.
