Prosperity is something that all peoples are in search of it, and is defined as successful progress and true happiness. It consists of having the means of development, and also spiritual and physical development in the path of Man's evolution. The antonym for prosperity is, ©FAILURE¨, misery, misfortune, and etc, the main cause of which is having no means of development and progress. Having the means and instruments for a thing, and using it not, is another question.
Prosperity and wretchedness are not instinctive, natural, and inborn gift or loss. Man has the faculty and power of being fortunate, if he works for it for having Free-Will. If he decides to be prosperous he must work for it and earn it, and if he does not avoid being wretched who can deliever him. In fact, life is what we make it, and God will help those who help themselves.
``Among the good means, and suitable instruments for obtaining prosperity;'' our prophet has said; ``Are a virtuous good spouse, an extensive good house, a fair neighbour, and a good mount.''
