Each person measures his prosperity differently; someone feels that if he has anchor tenants then he is successful, another feels that if he achieves a good pass then he is successful and yet another feels that if he gets a booming business then he is successful. However, Allah Ta‘ala measures prosperity differently. His gauge of success is: “Indeed successful is he who has cleansed and purified his heart.” A heart without purity is like a honey without its sweetness. It is just there and taking space without any benefit.
