Why a Muslim always wins?

A Muslim life is much disciplined life.  His/her everything is well defined. He/she should not suffer conflict in emotion in any respect. Those who do not follow the God’s commands can be confused about almost everything. Let me give a simple example. Everybody might hear about incest. When I read various international media sites, I have found it is quite common in non-Muslims and disbelievers communities. But if you are a Muslim the chance to involve with any form of incest relationship is simply zero.

[The Quran 4:23-24, 36] Prohibited for you (in marriage) are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, the sisters of your fathers, the sisters of your mothers, the daughters of your brother, the daughters of your sister, your nursing mothers, the girls who nursed from the same woman as you, the mothers of your wives, the daughters of your wives with whom you have consummated the marriage - if the marriage has not been consummated, you may marry the daughter. Also prohibited for you are the women who were married to your genetic sons. Also, you shall not be married to two sisters at the same time - but do not break up existing marriages. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

In other words, you will never look at those women at any situation as God prohibits them permanently for you. 

This makes a perfect harmonious family life; no slight conflict in any situation.  This will create a perfect relationship between mother and son, father and daughter, brother and sister etc..

Being a Muslim you will not be an adulterer. Allah condemns adultery.

[The Quran 24:2] The adulteress and the adulterer you shall whip each of them a hundred lashes. Do not be swayed by pity from carrying out GOD's law, if you truly believe in GOD and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their penalty.

That means again disciplined life. Your partner(s) are always well defined. Fully peace of mind; that’s right. Though Allah allows polygamy but you must be aware that to have more than one wife brings a lot of responsibilities. Also woman is not so cheap that you can easily find a good and sweet second wife! But even if you have more than one wife your partners are well defined again. You will never sleep with those who are not your partners as per God’s laws. This will create a wonderful and lasting love relationship with your wife/wives because they are only in love with you and you are also only in love with them. Never any 3rd party invasion. This also protects you from all form of sexually transmitted diseases including B hepatitis or AIDS etc. 

Allah condemns alcohol as drink.

“[The Noble Quran 5:90-91] O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them, that you may succeed. The devil wants to provoke animosity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to distract you from remembering GOD, and from observing the Contact Prayers (Salat). Will you then refrain?”

Alcohol consumption is a major problem in modern life. It creates road accident, terrible heath problems in numerous cases, family violence etc. As you are a Muslim you will not drink alcoholic beverages. You will never lose your sense being a drunk. So in every situation in your life your brain will work and judge properly. You will be saved from all alcohol related diseases and you should be aware that some of them are fatal.

As you are a Muslim you will never ever cheat anybody. You will never look at other people money as Allah prohibits it. 

[The Quran 2:188] You shall not take each others' money illicitly, nor shall you bribe the officials to deprive others of some of their rights illicitly, while you know.

In every society cheating, bribing, robbing etc are considered as big crimes. As you are believer even you get thousands times opportunities you will never cheat anybody as you know Allah is the direct Witness of your every good or bad works. And one day you will surely be summoned in front of Allah to account for your every good/bad deed.

[The Koran 58:7] Do you not realize that GOD knows everything in the heavens and everything on earth? No three people can conspire secretly without Him (Allah) being their fourth, nor five without Him being the sixth, nor less than that, nor more, without Him being there with them wherever they may be. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of everything they had done. GOD is fully aware of all things.

This will make you a perfect honest human being on earth. This honesty will save you from huge troubles in society as well. Remember so many people have to face prosecution due to cheating, stealing, robbing, and bribing every now and then. You are fully safe from such troubles as you will never do such crimes even if you get many golden opportunities.  

In this ways in every aspects of life you will feel huge inner peace and happiness even though if you are not much rich in worldly materials. Yes, you could be very rich as well conducting your honest and smart business. Allah never forbids you to be rich using your honest means. But it is really not a big deal for a genuine Muslim. You know very well that this world life is only for a very short duration for a test from Allah. Once you will pass the test successfully you will eventually get paradise as a reward from Allah to reside there eternally. 

So you will never be greedy in this short life here.  But due to honesty and well disciplined life you will enjoy your life here much more than those disbelievers. Those disbelievers sometimes enjoy life but later even in this worldly life they suffer a lot due to their undisciplined ways of life.  And in next eternal life Allah promises them hell to reside.

[The Noble Koran 3:91] “Surely, those who disbelieve (in Allah) and die while they are unbelievers, the earth full of gold shall not be accepted from one of them, though he should offer to ransom himself with it, these it is who shall have a painful chastisement, and they shall have no helpers.”

No technology, no PhD, no noble prize winning will help disbelievers to avoid hell fire.  Simply like nobody can escape death as none possesses any independent power. All power belongs to Allah.   In this way, a genuine Muslim is very successful both in this world life and eternal life hereafter. On the other hand, disbelievers are ultimate losers both here and hereafter. Do not be impressed and confused by their temporal gains. Disbelievers’ temporal gains are just like water bubble.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe.
