Why Are Irreligious People So Successful? | Dr. Shabir Ally

- Dr. Shabir Ally addresses a viewer's question: why do irreligious people often seem more successful? He explains that success varies widely, with both religious and non-religious individuals experiencing different levels of material success. The key difference lies in priorities. Religious people often focus on spiritual fulfillment and the afterlife, sometimes sacrificing worldly gains. For instance, Muslims may prioritize spiritual practices like fasting during Ramadan and attending Friday prayers over working more hours. Dr. Shabir emphasizes that worldly possessions can distract from spiritual growth, and that the ultimate goal for believers is the good of both this life and the hereafter, trusting in God's plan. Thus, success is not solely dependent on religious or irreligious status, but rather on individual choices and priorities.

Your rizq was written before you were born so it isn’t dependant on if you worship Allah or not, Allah doesn’t need our worship and he wouldn’t be the most merciful if he didn’t provide for everyone but you will see the benefits if you worship Allah, you will be able to handle a lot of stresses and have peace
Even tho your risk is written your good deeds and supplication can change it. Because Allah is the most beneficent and the master of mercy. What Dr. Shabir is preaching is something else not Islam.
@@Nulmay24I don’t think that that’s the correct opinion. Do you think du’a and its reward can’t be written? Don’t be too sure of it unless you’re learned.
MashAllah MashAllah jazz
I am Catholic, religious, and they are right. Most is the same in my religion too. I always had good luck in my life, thank to God.
Allah subhanahu watala says in the Quran that He will test human beings with good and bad in this life. Read chapter 21 verses 34 and 35.
If you are in good health then it is a success .
some "irreligious rich people" do haram things like black magic (to be more wealthy) or haram incomes (scams, loans, etc)
God provides graciously and abundantly for all mankind, whether they acknowledge him or not. Worldly success must never be confused with the blessing and approval of God, who causes the sun to rise on the good and the evil and sends his rain on the just and the unjust. Matthew 5
Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase their harvest. And whoever desires ˹only˺ the harvest of this world, We will give them some of it, but they will have no share in the Hereafter. Ash-Shuraa 42:20
This! The Lord be praised.
Subhanallah!😮 Mashallah!😊
Allahu Akbar!!!❤
Great answer. Also, Allah does not diminish ones wealth when they pursue their deen. In fact, one of the easiest ways to get rich is to give away as much of your wealth and also to have more children. May Allah grant us whats best for us. Ameen
I always enjoy learning and listening to Dr. Shabir. You provide such valuable content, thank you.
What Dr. Shabir is preaching is something else not Islam.
The answer lies in what do you consider to be successful. If it’s material wealth but merely happiness and contentment the religious people are far ahead.
This is the kind of language people who are failures and CANT achieve success use to console themselves..
The internet which you are using now, wouldn't exist if the technicians that developed it were focusing on the "world after..".
Religious people are content with what they have. Their priority is their religion rather than worldy things.
Masyallah..Dr Shabbir..may Allah bless him..Aameen..❤ fr Malaysia
you just worshipped a human being 🤮

I was born to live like this....😢
That might be the beauty of the religion, even when you lose, do not do well, get hungry, you still can be happy, strong and content
Asalaamu Walaykum Wa Rahmatullah. Yes, this is not such a mystery and yields a possible question that fits in perfectly with what is written in the Christian scriptures also that those who should be most concerned are the ones who are not put to the test. Yet another perfect illustration of a fuller explanation of what was written in the previous Books. Subhanallah.
Being rich is having the love of Allah, mouhamad (SAW) and the coran in your heart. Then this world can be paradise
I don’t know why I’m always glued to the screen
People mistakenly measure success in term of how much money or power they have. What about happiness or serenity? Do you see the most content people in the world are the people who do not have in abundance. If possession is the main factor of happiness, then the richest people are the happiest people, which they are not.
Conversely, the poor people aren't the Happiest also.. Infact, they are often very miserable and dejected.
Best answer Masha Allah for both respected fellow Muslim
How people donno anything about Qur'an and sunnah are controlling Arab Oil market?
Coz religion is a control mechanism 💯
Designed by whom and to whose benefit? What kind of benefit did the prophets do this for? How did you come to this conclusion?
Just looking for a peaceful, honest discussion on your statement.
Cheers
@cmac7168 didn't prophet muhammad have 13 wives and right hand possessions? Wasn't he allocated 1/5th of the spoils? Didn't he have a group of followers treating him like a demigod?
@@MuftiMasala Muhammad peace be upon him had 12 wives. Only two of which are generally accepted to have been conventional marriages. The others are considered to have been for political/cultural reasons in the cause of spreading Islam.
In Arabia, no one could carry on the work of reform and uplifting unless he belonged to, or was related to some specific and respectable tribe. Thus, in the interest of his mission, the Prophet (pbuh) needed inter-tribal relationships. He wanted to weld the quarreling tribal and clannish factions into one Muslim body, as brethren in faith (Ikhwan fi’d-din).
For instance, his wife Juwayreeyah (ra) belonged to the Banu Mustaliq clan, which was very powerful. The entire clan was a bitter enemy of Islam from the start, and they were finally suppressed by military action. When the Prophet (pbuh) married Juwayreeyah (ra), the Muslims released all their prisoners, saying that they could not keep the prophet’s relatives in bond4ge. It was due to this marriage that the whole clan of Banu Mustaliq accepted Islam and became peaceful and obedient to the laws of the new Islaa mic st4te.
As for him taking war spoils I.e benefitting financially from the spread of Islam - there is in fact no sign of this. He did not have any palaces, no deposits of wealth have ever been found stashed away and there is not historic record of him living a life of luxury. On the contrary - we can still visit his home to this day (it has been preserved) and we can see that he lived a very minimalist life.
As for being treated as a Demigod - well that depends on the definition you choose to go with of Demigod.
The Oxford dictionary gives two meanings to the term :
a being with partial or lesser divine status, such as a minor deity, the offspring of a god and a mortal, or a mortal raised to divine rank.
"some Roman emperors claimed descent from demigods such as Hercules"
a man who is greatly admired or respected.
"a former juvenile delinquent who would become a counterculture demigod"
If your argument is that Mohammed peace be upon him preached that he was divine - you will struggle to find evidence of this. On the contrary - the entire Qur’an is built on the emphasis that he is merely a man (although an important one) but he makes it extremely clear that he is not to be seen as any kind of deity - hence why we do not and are not allowed to create depictions of him in Islam.
If you mean demigod in terms of the second definition I.e “a man who is greatly admired or respected.”
Then yes, there are various historical records that he was greatly trusted and respected within his community before the revelation of the Quran.
This was not the case however when he began to receive his revelation as he was actually persecuted and 4ttacked for what he was teaching and had to leave his home town because of this.
He did then gain favour again after many years of struggle but this was not to his financial benefit.
@@MuftiMasala now that we have ticked off Islam, can you answer my question in regards to Christianity. Same question as before - but now applied to Jesus peace be upon him.
Cheers
Clear and simple explanation.jzk
as salam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
to all believers out there, you are all blessed and beautiful
such a short life this is and such a beautiful eternity awaits us!
may Allah make us all deserving of Firdevs (the highest level of Paradise), ameen
Firdevs is a greek word and term... Originally sounded as "paradis"... You even use the terms of other people. And your religion was made up by the people not by god
@@EvilHamster428 Arabic is older than Greek.
And you may also want to have a look at this and realize how much ancient Greeks have borrowed from others:
STOLEN LEGACY - BY GEORGE G. M. JAMES | AUDIO BOOK
@@KenanTurkiye ancient greeks borrowed a lot but contributed even more. As for your beloved arabs, what have they contributed?
@@EvilHamster428 Would you like to learn? : )
Try keywords on the search engines, you'll find the truth if you are after the truth.
:) you sound like one of those Greeks who eventually end up reading a Quran, realize the Truth and become muslim.
Best wishes in your journey my friend. :)
Thanks from bangladesh
Because non religious people
never blame Allah for thier failures. Life is same for everyone irrespective of beliefs
Success is not about how religious you are but about the purity of your heart
Purity of heart can be attained by good deeds.
I agree some people are going to be focused more on purifying their soul rather than amassing wealth. I don't think poverty is ideal as he said, but wealth may also be a problem, it seem extremes are rarely if ever good.
People posing this question need to examine themselves- their faith, ego, vanity and / or victim mentality and why they think they are positioned to to judge others based on a sliver of their perspective.
الحمدللە رب العالمین.
Stop 🛑 stop 🛑! You are confusing Muslims with this video. Success in this world is not only money but happiness and contentment. This world is just like a tour and at the end of it is your grave. And what's after that? The real success is the Hereafter.
Whether religious or atheist, biggest factor is mentality and/or circumstances.
religious and irreligious people can both succeed and fail at life. it's a matter of experience, skills and values that can decide the trajectory of one's life. that's secular way of answering it. but for religious people, our priorities is the world beyond while the irreligious on the world here. nothing wrong with that. as we can see, they both offer differing perspectives in how to move forward as a society. god did not create an easy world for us, so we must acknowledge the good and the bad of each other's perspectives and to work together on a common goal on improving self and others.
Istidraj (الإستدراج) = god gave up on them and just give them worldly rewards.
I love it when dr Shabir quotes Jesus :)
But yes - the prosperity of the material world and the spiritual world are not related.
According to Jesus, only the spiritual world is our goal, because- as Jesus says- “what good would it be to someone to gain the whole world but forfeit their soul ?”
Amazing thoughts
Very good question
I often ask myself the same question
We always hope fr the better in after life but is it guaranteed
What annoys me most about these declarations is the very light emphasis placed on the fact that "success" and identifying success are Very subjective things. I put these questions no higher than two small children sitting together and one remarks that the others' cone has more ice cream. BION not everybody in this world gets the opportunity and disposible time to sit around bemoaning what they Don't have. Not to be snarky, but for a faith that prides itself on the acceptance of God's determinations, we Muslims could probably use a bit of self-reflection on this score, yes? Alhamduilah.
Thank you!
Let the people who have more have it you can't take it with you so enjoy it while your alive.
Probably because they are ruthless, amoral, will do anything to succeed, achieve their goals...
It all depends how one define.. SUCCESS.. what appears success r but utter failure .
I think the actual reasons are not in the religion itself. People who are educated and intelligent are more likely to abandon religion. However, that same education and intelligence also allows them more success.
Also there's the matter of free will! If all religious people was successful, then free will wouldn’t have any meaning. Everybody would be religious.
Im gonna ask question. Is it true that the more you do good on earth the higher your reward in Heaven. and the less you do good on earth, the Less the reward you have in Heaven?
It depends what you deem as successful
Life here is temporary whether you agree or not
Dear brothers & sisters! Don’t forget to send your blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ
“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa aali Muhammad” 🤍
God bless Iran l love Iran.
How people donno anything about Qur'an and sunnah are controlling Arab Oil market?
The more money you have the more you end up tending to worship it, there's a reason the saying "money is the root of all evil" rings true.
I'm sorry, it's true , religion stops a person from a certain drive. YES, irreligious people are more successful in a worldly sense.
Allahuakbar!!!
You may win the whole world, but if you lose your life -here- after what is the profit? Mark 8:36
Because religion don’t let u progress
If you create good in the world as our Creator created us to do, you'll always be successful. :D
Alhamdulilah
The answer is simple. They are more intelligent and dont believe in nonsense
Really, what about the ones that are born without feet????
Because they are less inclined to believe things that they don't have good reason to believe are true...
❤
If we are talking about Athiest its because God gave them their paradise in this world, afterlife is hell.
Finding my comment and found out that they deleted... sad.😅
What d you write?
Religious or non religious people are more successful? Everything else remains constant, it has to be the right decision at the right time. Key to any successes. Moreover success has also manifest differently to different people.
You think a human being can make the right decision at the right time? How can he when he lacks a lot of knowledge of future
irreligious people more successful?, successful in what?? Rasoolollah Mohammad صل الله عليه وسلم was the most religious person ever set foot on this earth, did he not successful??
What Dr. Shabir is preaching is something else not Islam.
Satan rules the world through his seed, the seed of the serpent 🐍.
Ok what about the hadith of Salim is speak against or men can force women to make a man a family member or the wudu that Shaytan hide in a literal way in Muslim noses not one nose but all Muslim nose !? why only Muslim!? And is Shaytan so insignificant that he a literal bugger you can wash off ...Are these subject has been touch on this channel ?I want to understand better .
Why the use of the word Religious? Islam is the way of life period .
one of most succesful are the gulf where islam started and they got free gas and oil to sell giving them trillions a year, and they never have to make the people to seek knowledge to search for it or get it out or make technology to get money, God probably thought if that aint enough for them then they better get educated and work hard like western.... but iran that is heavily sanctioned is also doing very good in technology even with the heavy sanctions, shame they are shia as their technology together with me or gulf headed could speed up islamic science even more... but for now mecca is shined so allah al hamd is happy...
They shave better
I disagree with pretty much everything he says. The question is fine but i believe it needs to be evaluated. It assumes that successful people are irreligious, and that brings the question; is this true? With around 2 billion muslims, +2 billion christian, and +1 billion hindu. and +0.5 billion buddhist, majority of world population is religious. According to wiki, 35% of world wealth is held by "irreligion or other" while rest is shared among religious people, with christians dominating. So the question fails to address a valid point. However, losing couple of hours in ramadan-period or friday-prayers wouldn't make the difference in this "success". This also assumes that other religions don't spend time doing religious rituals. Which of course is completely wrong. The idea that religion (let it be judaism, islam or christianity) prevents their followers from achieving success, is the making of wrongful teachings by their respective houses. Trying to justify or rationalize illiteracy or poverty by blaming religious practice is complete bogus. I would advice, whomever you may be or whatever you may believe in; go and make your own opinion.
Edit: typo
I keep received ads from Muslim charities begging for donations. Muslim charities should make a qualification stating that they will only received contributions from fellow Muslims. On one hand they call non believers kafirs, they have no shame when it comes to charities. Spineless.
God bless Iran l love Iran.
