True Success

Achieving success in life is everyone's dream, but it is often a most difficult and challenging task. While the definition of success varies by person, for those who believe in God, success is defined as leading a righteous life and being a productive and contributing member of society.
It is no different for a Muslim, follower of Islam, to submit to God's will, that is to please Him, follow His guidance through the Quran, and accept Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) as a role model. This is essentially to be a pious, righteous, productive member of the society and constantly strive to please God. Sadly, today, there are mixed and confused understandings and interpretations of Islam within Muslims and among others. Many seem to have forgotten the foundation and essentials of Islam.
Adam Salaam, in his True Success, provides the quintessential message of Islam to its followers. He reminds everyone about the personal qualities that Islam advises to nurture, and our responsibilities toward people we live with and community we live in. His message is profound, clear, in simple language referring to the verses from the Quran--the direct guidance from God.
He presents the true purpose of life and provides solutions to many complex challenges we face today, and which lay in the fundamental personal qualities suggested in Quran and modeled by the Prophet (PBUH). Adam Salaam believes it is highly essential for every Muslim to constantly reflect upon Allah's message and keep life's goals aligned with Quran to achieve true success.Table of Contents
