Keep Trying — Allah Will Grant Success

Introduction:

In a world where we face trials, failures and short-lived fixes, the believer has one unshakeable truth:

Achievements come only from Allah. Regardless of how challenging our life is or how many doors feel closed, Allah sees every struggle, hears every silent dua, and rewards every sincere niyyah.

This blog post is a true reminder rooted from a foundation of Sunni Islamic teachings, real life spiritual accounts, and direct teachings from the Qur’an and Sunnah – to inspire every soul to keep moving.

Summary:

• Real success is found in patience, perseverance, and trust in Allah.
• The Quran is full of stories of those who continued to try & ultimately found success.
• Failures are divine detours to better alternatives.
• The Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ️ has taught us that there is always a purpose to our pain.
• Don’t give up. Keep trying. Achievements will come, Insha’Allah.

Features & Reflections on Achievements:

The Quranic Pathway to Success

• The example of Prophet Nuh (AS) shows us he preached for 950 years with only a small number of followers but his commitment was accepted by Allah as a success that will be recorded forever.
• Prophet Yusuf (AS) was thrown in a well, falsely accused, and sent to prison but Allah elevated him to the highest position in Egypt.
• The verse:

“And, surely, with hardship [will be] ease.” (Quran 94:6)

Sunnah’s Perspective on Perseverance

• Prophet Muhammad ﷺ️ faced rejection, boycotts, physical abuse, and great loss but he never wavered.
• He says:
  “The most beloved action to Allah is the one that is done consistently, even if it is small.” (Sahih Bukhari)
• Real success is not found in the end result, but in the effort put forward.

The Heart of a Human Being Never Gives Up!

• Sabr (patience), dua (supplication), and tawakkul (trusting in Allah), is how all believers become successful people.
• The only times Allah delays (success) is when we need to grow through struggle, have our hearts cleansed, and come closer to Him.

Falling does not mean it is over

• Allah never abandons a striving servant.
• Every fail, is a step forward in His divine plan.
• Your journey takes the form of light, just as the moon waxes and wanes!

Real-life inspirational story:

There was once a student named Zayd who was unsuccessful in his studies, but he had a dream. He wanted to be a Hafiz of the Quran. He stuttered, he lost verses, he was made fun of, his confidence was shot, and he was about to quit.

One day his teacher told him the story of Imam Abu Hanifa (RA), who became a mountain of knowledge despite studying under the worst conditions. This inspired Zayd, and he made dua, wiped his tears, and promised himself that he would not stop.

Every single day he started reciting the Quran slowly. It took years, but finally one day, he finished reciting it. He memorized the Quran with tajweed and beauty. The day he finished reciting, the same people who made fun of him were crying.

When they asked him what kept him going, Zayd smiled and said, “I remembered the hadith that the Prophet ﷺ said, `the best of you are the ones who learn the Quran and teach it`.”

He reminds us that success is not about perfection, but about persistence.

When It Hurts the Most, You’re Closest to Success

At times it can feel as if the heart cannot take anymore, days that when our dreams have fallen apart.

Days that we feel totally misunderstood or rejected or all alone. But even on these days, don’t stop!

Remember that success is not in the chatter of the crowd/public, success lives in your private struggle.

Imam Hussain (RA) did not stand for success in number, instead he stood for a principle. He lost everything yet, gained eternity.

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani RH was expelled and wandered in the jungles for years — yet became the Qutb of his time.

Khwaja Gharib Nawaz RH reached India with no name. With an innocent heart and a relentless pursuit of meaning he became the torchbearer of Islam in Hindustan.

Khwaja Bandanawaz RH stated once: “The honour of elevation is concealed in the dust of struggle.”

Achievements is not when the people praise you, achievements is when your Lord is pleased with you and with your honourable pursuit of success.

“Say: Allah is enough for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.” (Qur’an 3:173)

Religion, Beliefs, and Facts

• In Islam, you’re seen as successful if you are pleasing Allah, not just gaining worldly possessions.
• The Quran says: “Indeed those who have believed and done righteous deeds – those are the achievers.”
• Achievements come from dua, patience, and action.
• Belief in Qadr should help a believer maintain calm during failure.

Points to Note:

Conclusion:

Don’t give up. Don’t stop pushing forward. Even when the whole world watches you fail. Even when no one supports you. Even when your duas feel like they haven’t been answered. Because;

Allah will not fail a believer who is sincere.

“And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect”(Qur’an 65:2-3)

You story is being written by the One who knows the ending. Just. Don’t. Give. Up.
