Islam, principles, successAbstract
The current backwardness of many Muslim communities across the world in different fields (e.g. academic, economics etc.) raises the question whether Islam presents comprehensive principles compliance to which assures not only spiritual but also material success. The aim of this paper is to review Islamic literature on the principles associated with success as well as explore the evidence of achievements and successes of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and early Muslims from historical and biographical records. Findings of the review revealed that Islam has prescribed systemic and pragmatic principles that assure sustainable worldly success. This fact is testified by the well documented spectacular achievements of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and early Muslim generations. Observance of the prescribed Islamic principles is crucial to overcoming the currently prevalent economic, political and academic backwardness of The Contemporary Muslim Society.
