Imaan

Imaan is the key to all success. There is no success without Imaan. A success that a person attains without Imaan is a temporary success. It is a success just for namesake because it is like a person who is getting all facilities during the night and in the morning he will be hanged. What he has received does not represent anything in front of the problem that is awaiting him in the morning. Similarly, if we see a person in well-being despite not having Imaan, then it is a temporary progress and well-being for a while.

Imaan is like the key of a box, in which you have kept all your important objects. As long as this key is not there, you will not be able to benefit from anything. We cannot benefit from the favours that Allah Ta’ala has kept in Jannah as long as there is no Imaan because Imaan is the key to Jannah.
