The real treasures are those that one takes with him to the Hereafter. Islam, Eemaan (faith), righteous deeds, Jihad (struggling or fighting in the cause of Allah), and repentance are all examples of such enduring treasures:
“lt is not piety that you turn your faces towards east or west [in prayers]. Piety is [the quality of] the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it [Who gives it] to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, to the poor, to the wayfarer, to those who ask and to set slaves free. [Piety is also the quality of the one who] performs the prayer, and gives the alms charity, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment [disease] and at the time of fighting [during the battles]. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious and righteous persons].”
(Quran 2:177)
