Excellence in Performance

A Muslim's earthly pursuits are counted as acts of worship and jihad, so long as such is his intention and he carries out the pursuit excellently and faithfully, with full remembrance of Allah.

Excellence is performance is a religious duty upon the Muslim, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Verily Allah has enjoined excellent performance upon everything." [Muslim]

In another hadith reported by Al-Baihaqi, Abu Ya'ala and Ibn Asakir form Aisha, the Prophet said: "Verily Allah loves if one of you performs a deed that he should perfect it."
