The meaning of the word ''Islam'' is to '' surrender''.
This is in reference to the fact that Muslims are supposed to surrender their desires for those of Allah's. This is an absolutely essential concept to understand for a Muslim. He must not put his success in this life higher in priority than his religious obligation to follow Allah's orders.
- The purpose of our life on earth is not enjoyment for us, but subservience towards Allah. Our real enjoyment is being saved up for the Hereafter, so don't go in a vain search for self -fulfillment by indulging yourself in illegal pleasures here on earth.
- Remember Islam is the only ''way of life'' in which a person '' can have it all '' not just all of it at the same time.
- Imagine how sad it is to make a million dollars in daytime and have a car crush at night and spend the rest of your life in Hell. Islam makes sure that doesn't happen to you unless you make it happen by turning your back on Allah.
Allah knows best...
