Peace be on you.
Usually, the word success is used as translation of word ‘falah’ in the Holy Quran in (ch23:v2) and the word humble is used for ‘khashe-oon’ in (23:3)
[23:2] Surely, success does come to the believers,
[23:3] Who are humble in their Prayers.
According to lexicon, both words have more meanings:
‘falah’ means eases, abundance, fortunate, desire fulfilled, security, permanent goodness and happiness and getting bounties of life.
And
‘Khashe-oon’ are the people who adopt extreme humbleness, who make their selves very low, who reduce their selves to nothing, who keep their eyes lower and who keep their voice low.
Thus in the larger picture of a believer’s Prayer i.e. Salaat (which he or she offers to seek pleasure of Allah) is something which also brings various bounties in their physical lives and reform their worldly matters. They shall get rid of ego, caste eyes lower not only in Salaat but this habit with save them from various evils of society where eyes keep wandering. By gaining understanding to lower voice in worships, they shall be keeping it low in daily dealings by avoiding shouting and fighting.
Therefore a believer is able to get several spiritual and physical benefits by offering Five daily Prayers and avoids many evils, thus makes self and society peaceful while to seek pleasure of Allah is the first objective.
