"Zulfah" (closeness) means seeking closeness to Allah, the Exalted, and this is the reason why Allah created the creation and commanded them to do it. It is a sign of happiness and righteousness. If people do not seek this trait, they will suffer loss in this world and the next, whereas one will profit in this life and the Hereafter if they seek closeness to Allah. This is a universal fact in all the scriptures.
