“There should be relevance and applicability when we tell today’s youngsters about the life of Prophet Mohammed. Although we cannot match his standards, it is totally practical to imitate him and follow him and try to be like him.” He said while counting instances from the life of Prophet Mohammed wherein small actions made big differences in the lives of his companions and followers.
