Yawmul Jumu’ah: The Keys to Success -By Olayinka Abdur-Razzaq

The love of wealth without sweat is inherent in every being. Everyone wants to become rich. Everyone wishes to be the richest without strength. forgetting that the more the accumulation of wealth the more your accountability before Your Lord.

People run here and there purposely to get money. The burning of nights and days in order to get rich has become norm among the people. Fortunately unaware that the key to all the doors of wealth is in their pockets. But because of their lack of reliance on Him, they forgot that they are sleeping and waking up with gold every day.

He SWT said that if you could have total belief in Us and your absolute reliance banks Us, We would have been Provided for you as We do to birds which will left its nest with nothing and returns with something. SubhaanalLah! Where is tawakul?

He also promises you the sustenance and way out to everyone who give total submission to Him and believe that nobody can give one except what He has decreed and no one can deny one save what He has destined for one.

The keys to success in this world and the next world are faith and piety. It is a determinant of your success. It determines your capacity to understand His words and it determines your last destinations after death. He said “the good ending is for muttqūn (the pious).”

Allah SWT says: “And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.” (QS. At-Talaaq 65: Verse 3)

Today is another best day on Earth. Don’t forget to increase in doing good and stragetize more in all acts of ibadah. Nobody knows whether today we will be the last Jumu’ah you will witness on this Earth. May you witness more upon goodness.

I ask Allah SWT to increase your faith in Him, grant you a pure piety and count you among the Muttaqūn (the pious) whose endings is the Paradise.
