This anthology of articles by Maulana Wahiduddin

which the author has derived from one of the basic
principles of the Qur’an: “Every hardship comes
with ease.” (94:56). In his view, failure in life is a
common occurrence, but that coupled with a
positive attitude, it can be transformed into success.
Failure, on the other hand, coupled with a negative
attitude is again failure. The author gives examples
from daily life. Supported by relevant quotations
from the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad, to show that there is no end to the
possibilities of success in life for the individual who
can take a lesson from failure. He also cautions that

perseverance and compassion.
