The answer

Divine success (Tawfiq) is a blessing that Allah bestows upon those who desire righteousness and goodness. The extent of this success is proportionate to the strength of this desire. Allah has made guidance a fruit of effort, patience, and the yearning to be guided, as He Almighty says: {And those who strive for Us – We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.} The texts of revelation confirm this divine law, such as: {If you support Allah, He will support you}, and {O you who have believed, if you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion}, and {And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out}. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you." The one who seeks lofty aims must have sincere intention and strong resolve, and Allah will not disappoint him. If Allah sees his inclination (towards Him), He will expand his breast and assist him. We recommend striving to acquire righteous companionship to cooperate in goodness.
