Reaping benefits and being losers from the viewpoint of Islam

" All human beings are losers except that group of the people who are pious and perform good deeds and enjoin the people and nations to be patient and righteous." «2» These verses do not imply a person is to lose an eye or another person his hand- no- all are losers except those who are true believers. In Islam, the body is irrelevant; and the soul is relevant; it is faith that is of relevance. You who are like my own children should not be in the least concerned that your legs are deformed; based on these same verses that you recited that is not the measure of humanity. What is in fact, a measure of prosperity is none other than for a human being to be pious and a believer and have patience and enjoin others to be patient and speak the truth and enjoin others to speak the truth. When you have faith and patience and enjoin others to be patient and enjoin others to justice, then you are successful. Those who have all the material things of the world, have both bodily health as well as material goods, but have no faith are the ones who are the greatest losers- the spiritual losers rather than material losers.
Happiness has nothing to do with possession of a hand or possessing legs; possession of wealth does not imply happiness. Happiness is something that is related to the soul of a human being; it is related to the heart of a human being. You, my beloved children, whose souls are healthy and whose hearts are healthy and God willing are believers and, who enjoin the people to patience and justice, are the fortunate. And I pray to the Blessed and Almighty God to grant you happiness. And this request which you have made, I hope that God willing, when the situation calms down a little, all the matters will be attended to, and the government will pay attention to them. May God protect all of you. I regard you like my own children; all of you are most dear to me. May God grant you good health and cure you of all illnesses.
«۱»- One of those in the audience recited the Sourah al-`Asr from the Qur'an and after congratulating and expressing condolences, he requested more attention to be paid to the conditions of the injured. «۲»- Sourah al-`Asr ۱۰۳:۱-۳.
