Salaam everyone,
The Noble Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--"He is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and been made Contented by Allah with what He has given him". (Muslim)
These days when people say so and so is very successful, what they mean is he or she is making a lot of money. With this Hadith, we understand who qualifies to be called successful. It is not having car x, house in y and a job z but:--Islam, Fulfilled needs and a Thankful heart. Note this well.
Best Wishes.
