What is Failure?

What is failure to you?
Couple nights ago, I was thinking about my life trying to see if my life is a success, but I struggle cuz I did not know what failure really is.

So the next day I ask my bros

Yawer -when u can’t complete a task
Youcef- the inability to achieve Ur goal
Osama -when u gave a hundred percent and yet u don’t achieve ur goal
Hadi -on the day of judgement when everyone receives their book in their right hand and u don’t
Aman- Failure

I always thought failure was when u fell down and don’t get back up. When u make a mistake and u don’t turn to Allah and repent and have the intent of not doing the same mistake again. Success to me was never giving up always fighting and struggling for what u believe in, but recently I have been doubting what I have been taught to believe since childhood, sometimes giving up is the hard part but it is needed for u not to fail. If u don’t let go and don’t give up it could ruin ur life and make it miserable for u and the people who u hold near and dear

I personally liked Hadi’s answer because that night when he told me I went and read surah Al-haqqa and man I was literally sweating and I could not sleep and all I was thinking about was how am I going to respond to Allah. I think Hadi’s meaning of failure is the most accurate to me cuz sometimes u have to give up someone or something in order to achieve paradise and order to achieve Allah’s love.

On a closing note I just want to thank all those brothers/sisters who have helped me out in times of need and always have been there for me. I also want to thank my parents because they do soooo much for us and don’t ask anything in return.
Oh Allah thank you and Thank you for letting me thank you Oh Allah u have giving me soooo much and whatever u have taking away from me u know best. Oh All-mighty let me continues to strive for ur deen and always give me the strength to stand up for the truth even if is where against myself. Oh Allah thank you, thank you, thank you.

in what way is that hypocrisy?

I think what he was trying to say is that as Muslims our sole purpose in this ‘dunya’ is to attain paradise and to please Allah; and its obvious that if you don’t get you’re ‘book of good deeds’ that you’ve quite clearly ‘failed’.

wow. look at me Nawid, I'm defending religion. :D

with all do respect, what I said was what I wanted to accomplish, and as for my faults I repent everyday, but are you one to judge me on my actions? Do you know who I am? What I do? When the companions of the prophet say the same thing do you call them hypocrits(and by no means am I comaring myself to them, but we must try to emulate them) I am trying to be near to Allah(swt) and I know in a case like this I should just ignore my "anonymous" friend

By the way, "anonymous" I don't know if these were your intentions, but you have wounded me so deeply by your comments that I can't sleep, I keep reminding myself that people such as yourself can only throw around accusation and only Allah(swt knows my true intentions, verily he is the most merciful

I must agree; those are stong accusations. However, they may be based on truth.

Sometimes people just need to ponder on their actions and whether they are on the right path...

And Hadi, I'm not implying anything here. Those were just my thoughts.

I am writing from Toronto, I know Hadi Personally for 7 years now and I know what’s in this brother’s heart. I know form me being with him that his heart is pure. I did not want to praise him but I HATE when people accuse others publicly. IF u have a problem or a complaint, u go to that brother individually and advice him. U don’t start calling him a hypocrite. Straight up this is why our Ummah is falling cuz instead of working together to spread the message we accuse each other we judge each other. LET ALLAH BE THE JUDJE and we should continue in our everyday life. I am personally hurt with anonymous comments and I wish all of us goes and repent to Allah and hopefully this mistake is not repeated. Anonymous u should privately talk to hadi cuz if u c some faults in him u should advice him. Personally Hadi is an awesome bro and I bro that has improved my Deen and commitment in this Deen over the pass years. LETS FORGIVE AND FORGET !!!!!!!
salaams to all

Assalamu Alaikum Anon,

"The hypocrite looks for faults; the believer looks for excuses." -Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (R)

and

"If a friend among your friends errs, make seventy excuses for him. If your hearts are unable to do this, then know that the shortcoming is in your own selves..." - Hamdun al-Qassar (R)

As Muslims, we should not concern ourselves with the shortcomings of others, let alone label them hypocrites. Allah (SWT) will only call us to account for our own actions, and in our own defects we should therefore preoccupy ourselves. If we remain blind to our own failures but wary of others', this Ummah can never be united.

"Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts." - Qur'an, 13:11
