    Success through hardwork depends on God’s permission and order. Permission means He let your hardwork prosper and did not interrupt the process running uner the normal system of cause and effect. and order means he interfarers to make circumstances favourable which would not be otherwise. In both cases, thank is due to Him. our abilities too are given to us by God which makes us sccussful. This again urges us to thank God.

    When one rules out God’s involvment in anything and gives all credit to himself: one’s intellect or hardwork, this attitude belongs to shirk.
