abide by the rules of Almighty Allah, in all these activities then
it will be counted that our whole life is spent in performing
Ibadat (to follow the orders of Allah). Even our eating,
movements, sleeping, awakening, and conversation all these
things are included in Ibadat. The aim of Islam is to prepare
human beings as the servants. who are accustomed to Ibadat.

Hazrat Muhammad (sm) has shown us the right path. Our duty
is to walk on the way shown by the Prophet (sm), to lead our
life according to his instructions. If we follow the rules, given
by Allah and the Prophet (sm), then we shall attain the peace in
this world and in the life after death (Akhirat).
