Within this Magnificant Qurʾān, which Allāh spoke, He illustrated the means for achieving prosperity, salvation, and happiness. Allah who is most truthful, swore that salvation, happiness, or prosperity are all impossible to achieve in this life as well as the Hereafter unless by these four means:

• First means: ʾĪmān
• Second means: Righteous Deeds
• Third means: Daʿwah to Allāh
• Fourth means: Patience

These are the means and qualities one embodies to be among the prosperous. These are also the means for achieving salvation and happiness, so who is the One that informed us of this? Simple, it is Allāh who mentioned it His Magnificant Book. To be more specific, Allāh cited these means in one of the shortest chapters of the Qurʾān, which will be recited until the Day of Resurrection.
The great Imām ash-Shāfiʿī mentioned about this chapter:
“Had Allāh only revealed this chapter has a proof to be established for or against His creation; then this would be sufficient.”
