It's the age old question of why some people succeed over others despite the efforts being equal. Why does Allah choose success for some and not for others, and how much does willpower and His leave play a part in all of this?
The notion of "just work harder" as a recipe for success is not just misleading—it's dangerous. In this video, we delve into why this mantra oversimplifies reality and overlooks the crucial role of divine will in our achievements. Maybe it's the time we stopped measuring success solely by worldly accomplishments. Reflect on how every slice of bread involves a chain of events far beyond our control, pointing to a greater power at play. It's time we stopped judging others for their perceived lack of success and began recognizing the profound wisdom of surrendering to a higher will, as shown by teachings from Sufi scholars. Join me as I challenge the capitalistic mindset and advocate for a spiritual understanding of true success. Ready to rethink what it means to achieve?
