You Should Praise and Thank Allâh Almighty

Question :

If things go well for me or if I succeed in some endeavor, I feel that I am distracted by worldly affairs not because I am good, but because I am a sinner and I am being given respite until Judgement will overtake me. Please advise me.

Answer:

When you succeed in some endeavor, you should praise and thank Allah Almighty for His favors upon you.

Moreover, you should employ those favors to further your obedience of Allah Almighty. You must maintain a balance between keeping a good opinion of Allâh Almighty and between avoiding his anger and avoiding those actions that he is displeased with, and struggle in fulfilling His rights and being steadfast.
