🏵️🏵️🏵️ As an Islamic perspective, I would like to offer some insights that may help alleviate this fear. According to the Quran, "And whoever is patient and faithful, only they will receive their reward without account." (Quran 39:10) This verse emphasizes the importance of patience and trust in Allah's plan, which can help alleviate the fear of not achieving success.
Orion, I understand your perspective on the pressure to achieve success, and I believe that Islam provides a more comprehensive understanding of this concept. In Islam, we are taught that our ultimate goal is to please Allah, and that success is not solely defined by material achievements. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best among you are those who are most excellent in their character." (Bukhari)
Moreover, Islam emphasizes the importance of striving for excellence in one's work, but not at the expense of one's spiritual well-being. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Your deeds are according to your intentions, and every person will get what they intended." (Muslim) This hadith highlights the importance of having pure intentions and not being driven by external pressures.
I believe that by focusing on our spiritual growth and seeking guidance from Allah, we can overcome the fear of missing out and achieve true success. As the Quran says, "And put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed." (Quran 5:23)
May we find peace and guidance in our pursuit of success, and may we always remember that our ultimate goal is to please Allah.
