True, the Niyyah and also the efforts one puts in, the prayers one makes for wisdom+guidance (in this regard), the resources one adopts and the planning one does in trying one’s level best to reach as close to the lifestyle of one’s ideals as one humanly can.
What is humanly possible and if our efforts are enough (in the circumstances that we are in), no one but only Allah (swt) would decide/judge ultimately. The more efforts/thoughts/planning done in pleasing Him, the more He would be pleased (and inshaAllah reward us).
We talk about the Ideals only to clarify our perspective about the ‘Benchmark’ (ultimate heights)
I might be appearing wiser in comparison to Catskin.

Quran is the book of guidance, not a book of story telling. Other than specific ehkamaat, where we have to accept them as they are, every verse gives guidance in some form or the other. The whole science of Fiqh is based on the study of why Quran said or did not say something.
