The desire to succeed is one that is present in every individual, irrespective of the particular goals each individual has. If you were to ask a group of successful individuals how is it that they achieved their success, each one would have a different reply. What they all have in common, however, is this; they all had lofty aspirations.

As Muslims, we are taught by Rasulullah ﷺ to strive for ihsan (excellence) in all our endeavors, be they worldly or deeni. It is not sufficient to settle for mediocrity. Rasulullah ﷺ said "When you ask Allah [for paradise], ask Him for Firdaws". This ambition is the driving force that allows us to reach our goals. Without it, success becomes impossible.

Please join us this Friday, October 20 after 'Isha (7:45pm) for our monthly seminar "The Power of Ambition: Achieving Success Through High Aspirations" with Shaykh Akef Habbal.
