In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Everyone wants to be a winner. So, what triumph do we think of most often? Is it a sporting victory? A business deal worth millions? A war between countries? Or political success?

God uses the phrase "the greatest triumph" in over a dozen places in the Quran. And almost every time it's relative to making it to Paradise:

[Quran 6:16] "Whoever is spared (the retribution), on that day, has attained His mercy. And this is the greatest triumph."

[Quran 85:11] Surely, those who believed and led a righteous life, have deserved gardens with flowing streams. This is the greatest triumph.


And if we think about it, working hard to make it to heaven is the only triumph that can bring happiness that starts here but lasts forever. So, what can we do today to be part of that triumph?
