This anthology of articles by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is designed to illustrate the science of life which the author has derived from one of the basic principles of the Quran: "Every hardship comes with ease." (94:5-6).
 
In his view, failure in life is a common occurrence, but that coupled with a positive attitude, it can be transformed into success. Failure, on the other hand, coupled with a negative attitude is again failure. The author gives examples from the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, to show that there is no end to the possibilities of success life for the individual who can take a lesson from failure. He also cautions that life's tribulations must be faced patience, perseverance and compassion.
