During the last two decades, several books have been written on the topics of personal change, spiritual improvement and emotional intelligence. It is interesting to note that many people across the globe are turning to understand their long-neglected self, namely their soul. Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, is such a small book with its unassuming paper-back binding that most of the readers might ignore it as an amateur attempt on such an important issue. But, when you sit down reading it, you are thrilled, amused and taken aback by its simple, practical and powerful message. I have read this book not once, but several times, not just to cherish it but to understand its message in the light of Holy Qur’an, the mother of all books and to adopt the same in my life. The seven spiritual laws of success narrated in the book are pure potentiality, giving, cause and effect, least effort, intention and desire, detachment, and purpose in life. This article is adapted from the abovementioned book, however, I have replaced two laws, namely the law of least effort and the law of detachment with my own recommendations, namely the principles of “Amr Bil Ma’aroof and Nahi-al-munker” and constant struggle. I have ventured to include these principles according to my comprehension of the message of Islam as enshrined in Holy Qur’an
