Does the description "the successful ones" in the verse "And let there be from among you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful ones" apply to this world or the Hereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah described those who invite to goodness, enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong as the 'successful' (al-muflihoon), confining success to them. This success is both worldly and in the Hereafter. Worldly success is the attainment of happiness, while success in the Hereafter is eternal existence without end, honor without humiliation, richness without poverty, and knowledge without ignorance.
