A craftsman applies all his skills on the sample. It has become obvious to us that a successful life is the one which is spent following his footsteps. If we live, die, sleep and awaken by acting upon the guiding principles of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then all these acts will become the acts of worship.
