A person is made of two things: body and soul. The more important of the two is the soul because it will remain permanently, whilst the body will only remain until the grave. This is why the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam's teachings were focused primarily on the purification of the soul. Allāh ta'ala mentions in the Qur'ān:

'O our Rabb! Send among them a messenger (the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam) from their midst who will recite to them Your verses, teach them the book and wisdom and purify them.' (2:129)

The main objective is the third, and the first two are the means of acquiring the third. This is why Allāh ta'ala says:

'Successful indeed is he who has acquired purification (of the soul).'" (87:14)
