One of the Means to Attaining Success and Felicity

Ibn Qayyim (rahimahullaah):

**

One of the most effective means for attaining [success and felicity] is pondering over the Qur`aan, for along with the Sunnah, it clearly explains the paths to good and evil. If you turn your attention to them, they will suffice you. They will inform you of Allaah’s treatment of the obedient, and of the sinners. Moreover, apply what you read to practical experience, and you will see the illustration of this -

that Allaah is true, the Messenger is true, the Qur`aan is true, and that Allaah fulfills His promise.
