Strive for excellence in our actions

This hadith is about the dedication of a Mujahid and how it cannot be compared to any other action. A man came to the Prophet Muhammad and asked him what action was equal to Jihad. The Prophet replied that no other action could compare with the dedication of a Mujahid who goes out for battle. He then gave an example by asking if the man could enter into a Masjid and stand in prayer without rest or fast without breaking his fast. This shows us how dedicated one must be in order for their actions to be considered equal to that of a Mujahid's. It also teaches us that we should strive for excellence in our actions as nothing can compare with true dedication and hard work.
