تصور سعادت کی کلاسیکی اسلامی تعبير: وحیانی اساس، فکری ابعاد اور عصری معنویت کا تحلیلی مطالعہ

The concept of Sa‘ādah (true success, happiness, and well-being) is central to Islamic thought and represents one of the ultimate objectives of human existence. Unlike secular and materialistic perspectives, which often associate happiness with wealth, pleasure, or worldly achievements, Islam presents Sa‘ādah as a comprehensive and multidimensional concept encompassing spiritual fulfillment, moral excellence, psychological tranquility, social well-being, and eternal success in the Hereafter. This study explores Sa‘ādah through a critical, analytical examination of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, supported by interpretations from classical Qur’anic exegetes, Hadith scholars, and prominent Muslim thinkers. The research first examines the linguistic and terminological meanings of Sa‘ādah and its related concepts, including Falāḥ (prosperity), Fawz (ultimate success), Najāḥ (achievement), and Ṭuma’nīnah (inner peace). It then analyzes the Qur’anic and Prophetic foundations of true success by highlighting the roles of faith (Īmān), righteous deeds, piety (Taqwā), purification of the soul (Tazkiyah), contentment (Qanā‘ah), and the pursuit of Divine pleasure (Riḍwān Allāh). Furthermore, the study reviews the perspectives of leading Muslim scholars, including al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Rāzī, al-Ghazālī, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Ibn Khaldūn, to trace the concept's intellectual development within the Islamic scholarly tradition. Finally, the paper discusses the contemporary relevance of the Islamic concept of Sa‘ādah in addressing modern challenges such as materialism, moral decline, psychological distress, and the search for meaningful well-being. The study concludes that the Islamic understanding of Sa‘ādah offers a comprehensive framework for individual and collective prosperity by integrating spiritual, ethical, intellectual, and social dimensions, thereby providing a balanced model for sustainable human development and genuine happiness in both this world and the Hereafter.
