excellence for anyone but rather the standard of excellence in Islam for human is piety and asceticism. The piety and asceticism is such an incredible wealth that whenever the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would raise his blessed hands for supplication in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would also supplicate for piety.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to supplicate the following Du’a: ‘اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْئَلُكَ الْهُدٰى وَالتُّقٰى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنٰى’ O my Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I beg of You the guidance, piety, chastity and wealth.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1457, Hadees 2721)

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Guidance refers to good beliefs, piety refers to good deeds, chastity refers to refraining from evils and wealth refers to not being the needy of creatures. Everyone has to be the needy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This blessed supplication contains all goodness of religion. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 4, pp. 71)

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember! Gaining wealth, any worldly position, status or ministry is not the act of any great achievement but rather it is a test and trial. A large number of people possess these things but the piety is such a great wealth which is not granted to everybody. Piety is not something ordinary rather it is a huge treasure.

Hujjat-ul-Islam, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Bin Muhammad Ghazali            رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Piety is a unique treasure. If you have succeeded to obtain this treasure, you will find extremely valuable pearls and diamonds and you will have the great treasure of knowledge and spiritual wealth. You will have blessed sustenance. You will achieve great success. You will have great
