*30 Tips for a Guilt-Free Ramadān!*
*DAY 16*
*Success Only Comes From Allah*
On this very day, over 1400 years ago, the great battle of Badr took place. We all know its story and how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala granted victory to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) on that
day. But what lessons can we learn from this battle that is relevant to our productivity? Here’s one:
After the battle was won, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala revealed the following verse: “And Allah has already made you victorious at Badr, when you were a weak little force. So fear Allah much that you may be grateful” (Surat Aal-Imran; 3:123).
This was a reminder to the Muslims that any success or victory is from Allah and Allah alone. They shouldn’t be arrogant and forget the source of their success. Sometimes when you’re super productive and you achieve a
great deal in a day, it’s easy to assume that your success comes from your skills or knowledge; but that’s not how a Muslim thinks. A Muslim firmly believes in the verse that “And my success is not but through Allah. Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return” (Surat Hud; 11:88).
Finally, on this special day, make dua for our oppressed brothers and sisters in many parts of the world. They are having a difficult Ramadan and the least we can do is make dua for them. We ask Allah (Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala) with His Might and Power, the One Who granted His Prophet victory on the day of Badr to grant our brothers and sisters victory over their oppressors & all those who wrong them. Ameen!
