The 30th February!

The Deen of Allah Ta'ala guarantees success and eternal well-being for the entire humanity at all levels. A person who wants to succeed in life without following Deen, wants to do the impossible. This is because Allah Ta'ala makes the life of a person miserable when he turns his back onto the message of Allah Ta'ala.

Whatever one needs is under the control of Allah Ta'ala. There is no one who can give us something that Allah Ta'ala has decided not to give us. There is no one who can render honourable the one whom Allah Ta'ala has dishonoured. There is no one who can render pleasant the life of someone whom Allah Ta'ala has rendered miserable. Everyone is helpless against the power and control of Allah Ta'ala. Everything and every purpose has a means to attain it. The means to acquire true success and total well-being is obedience to Allah Ta'ala. And this is found in following Deen. And the Deen that one must follow is the complete Deen.

Following Deen partially cannot remedy the problem. It must be followed in its integral and complete form. Thus, a future that has been ruined by disobedience must be remedied by complete obedience itself. There is no way except this. Looking for another means to get success is like waiting for the 30th February. One will continue to wait and laugh as much as one wants but this date of February will never come.
