The hidden belief that can destroy your success

January 26, 2010 · 2 Comments 

I noticed a trend amongst converts.  Before converting, many of them are climbing the corporate ladder.  After converting, it’s almost as if they think that if they continue to do that, they are not “as pious”.  In other words, get rid of wordly success so you can get afterlife success.   X     Be pious = afterlife success only   I don’t blame them.  Much of the reason why they adopt this concept is because many Muslims have this hidden limited belief and it carries over to the converts.

Q. Please do let me know if u find anything about New Year and what is expected to do on that day (what do you wish to one other / presents? / visit family?)
