People take success in the sense of wealth, beauty, status, money and fame. But the law of success (Falah) for a Believer is completely the opposite. Do you know what success really is?
It is standing on the Day of Reckoning and be told by Allah that He is pleased with you and has forgiven you.
It's receiving your scroll of deeds in your right hand.
It's crossing the bridge of Sirat with your entire family in a blink of an eye.
It's meeting the Beloved Prophet (A thousand salutations upon him) at the pond of 'Kawther' and hearing him calling your name.
It's witnessing your scale of good deeds heavier than the other.
It's hearing your name called through the Gates of Jannah and it's doors already wide opened for you.
And last but not least, your meeting with all your loved ones including your family as a final destination in Al Firdaws (Highest level of Paradise).
All this, within the echo of a caller, “O serene soul! Return to your Lord well-pleased (with your blissful destination), well-pleasing (to your Lord). So enter among My (righteous) servants and enter My Paradise.” (89:27-30)
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِيوَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
May Allah count us among the Guests of Paradise. Aameen
MasyAllah... May we all achieve the True Success in the eyes of Allah s.w.t. Amiin
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Learning to forgive
Forgiveness is a personal journey.
You do it for yourself, not for the person you think needs to be forgiven, or anyone else. Once you make a commitment to do whatever it takes to let go of the pain and feel better – and do it for you, then forgiveness starts to become an easier endeavor. When you feel better about yourself, after all, you will find it more difficult to hold grudges against others. When needed practice self-care and self-love. If you are still involved with the person or people who you are trying to forgive, you can simply explain to them that you need time to care for yourself. If this is not appropriate due to the ongoing behavior of another, then simply practice uncompromising self-love and distance yourself from the other person until your feelings of anger and hatred dissipate. Reconciliation may be possible in the future.
