FAILURE IS THE BEST FRIEND OF SUCCESS


 



Picture a time when the world was quiet and dark, filled with ink-black nights. When the sun went down, it marked the end of what people could hope to achieve for the day. But then, a dreamer stepped into that darkness, ready to chase the stars...



Before Thomas Edison conquered the night, he stood in a laboratory littered with the remains of a thousand shattered dreams and practices. To any casual observer, he was a man failing a thousand times over. But Edison didn’t see a graveyard of glass or get bored with living in the bubble; he saw a library of lessons. Each "failure" was a whisper from the universe, telling him, "Not this way, but keep going."


Today, we flip a switch and think nothing of the glow that floods our rooms. But that light is more than just physics, it is the captured spirit of a man who refused to stay in the dark, who saya capital letter NO to the failure and mistakes of ideas... Our cities, our streets, and our homes are illuminated by the sheer stubbornness of a human heart.

It is the ultimate proof that failure is not the opposite of success; it is the fuel for it.


We often see the trophy, the bestseller, or the empire, but we rarely see the blood and sweat that watered the roots. Success is a masterpiece painted over a thousand "bad" canvases.

  • The Writer’s Ink: Ask the world-renowned author about the millions of discarded words, the crates of rejection letters, and the nights they spent convinced they had no talent. Success was found in the one sentence they refused to delete.

  • The Businessman's Risk: Ask the billionaire how many times they stood on the edge of ruin, taking risks that felt like free-falling. They didn't succeed because they were lucky; they succeeded because they were the last ones standing after everyone else went home.

  • The Leader’s Scars: Ask the politicians how many times they were mocked or voted down. Their power comes from the scars of defeats that would have broken a lesser spirit.



Failure only becomes a tombstone when you choose to stop walking. If you can analyse the "why," if you can look at your mistake with the cold, calculating eye of a scientist, you aren't losing, you are evolving, and you are making yourself stronger.

"What makes a failure final is the loss of hope. But what makes a failure a foundation is the courage to try again."


Don't let the weight of a setback bow your head. A lion is living within your spirit. It doesn't whimper when the path gets steep, and it doesn't turn back when the storm rolls in. It gets hungry. It realises that the greatest rewards are hidden behind the tallest obstacles.


The world doesn't need more people who play it safe. It needs people who are willing to fail spectacularly, learn voraciously, and rise relentlessly.

Take those "unfruitful" words, those "failed" business plans, and those "lost" battles. Pile them up, stand on top of them, and use them as a ladder to reach the stars. The hunt is on. Go and claim what is yours.

PUBLIC DANCE!!!

PUBLIC DANCE!!! Public dancing in the name of ibadah (worship) or with the hope of earning reward from Allah is a serious mistake and a waste of time.  Islam has made it clear that such acts are not part of the DEEN, and common sense also rejects them. In today’s world of social media, it has become easy for anyone to record themselves dancing at home and display it to the whole world with just a few clicks. Sadly, many have fallen into this trap, especially our sisters by neglecting the guidance of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Allah ﷻ says: “ And do not display yourselves as was the display of the former times of ignorance.” (Qur’an 33:33) This ayah reminds believing women to preserve their dignity and avoid exposing themselves unnecessarily. Here, Islam calls on women to maintain modesty, avoid unnecessary interaction with men, and protect themselves from harm. But instead, some are choosing to reveal their bodies and promote themselves with what we call 'I don't care habit'. ...

KNOWLEDGE AND ITS NEGATIVE EFFECT...

Image
Nowadays, sources of knowledge such as books, videos, audio, and apps are readily available, including Islamic knowledge. However, the availability of such knowledge can have both positive and negative effects. Islamic knowledge, or Sharia, is valuable and applicable in any situation, regardless of how good or bad the circumstances or people are. But in the olden days, people had to make tireless efforts to acquire knowledge, unlike the lazy instant gratification generation of today. These days, an uneducated person can simply download or buy weighty books without any guidance or instruction. Some will use the well-known AI and claim that they are scholars... However, simply reading voluminous books doesn't equate to knowledge. Without proper guidance and education, readers may develop negative perspectives on various issues, leading to terrorism or a lack of regard for Islamic principles. As such, it's crucial to seek knowledge from pious scholars and listen to res...
