Strive For Success

I am a Muslim. I read Quran. As a Muslim, I believe Quran is a word of ALLAH, The Only God.

Quran emphasizes on success in life. The Verse.5 of the Chapter.2 of Quran says:

"Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful." (2:5)

Quran tells me that those who are successful in life are actually those who are rightly guided by ALLAH. To seek guidance from ALLAH, Muslim pray five times a day and recite Al-Fatihah in their prayer, asking ALLAH to guide them. The Al-Fatihah says:

"It is You we worship and You we ask for help." (1:5)
"Guide us to the straight path". (1:6)

As prayers is essential to the life of a Muslim, the call to prayers (Azaan) always remind Muslims of their duty. The Line.5 of Azaan says:

"Hayya 'ala 'l-falah" or "Hasten to success". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhan)

Prayer (Solat) involves physical and spiritual focus. The body and mind must focus towards ALLAH throughout the solat. This could be difficult to most of the people as the mind sometimes deviate to other things while the body performs the solat. Nevertheless, this is the ultimate quality of solat. The Verse.1 and 2 of the Chapter.23 says:

"Certainly will the believers have succeeded." (23:1)
"They who are during their prayer humbly submissive." (23:2)
