When Abraham implored God in 14:40,
he did not ask for wealth or health; the gift he implored for was: "Please God,
make me one who observes the contact prayers (Salat)." The five daily contact prayers are the main meals for the soul. While a soul may attain some growth and development by leading a righteous life, and without observing the contact prayers, this would be like surviving on snacks without regular meals.
