Success is not limited to riches and wealth, but rather, it is something that goes beyond all of these and even the wrongdoings of this world. Muslims are to seek success in every aspect of their life like personal growth, spiritual development and closeness to God, or even professional achievements.

It relates to moral perfection, the fortification of beliefs, and the sharing of one’s talents and material resources with others.
