«●ِ«●ِ«●ِ« ● WHO IS YOUR●BEST FRIEND ● ِ»●ِ»●ِ»●ِ» It is very important for every Muslim to make sure that his choice of friends and the company he keeps is correct. It has been proven through experience that habits and behaviour of friends and associates slowly manifest in an individual. Without realizing,a person begins to adopt the style and behaviour of his friends. We are all witness to this fact. Sadly, U can recall many incidents where those who were pious, religious and of good character lost all their good qualities because they kept company and associated with an inappropriate circle of friends. U have also seen others who were drowning in sin and evil, who underwent a complete revolution in their lives after adopting the company of a pious person of huge moral standards. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has advised, “A person is on the way of his life friend. Therefore, he should think very carefully whom he is making a friend with.” (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood) We need friends who are sincere, genuine and true and also true in their friendship. Those who care for our well-being from every aspect are true friends. Whereas on the other hand, worldly friends are not only a waste of time, but also on the day of Qiyamah, they will be a means of destruction. The Quran says: “All friends on the day of Qiyamah will be enemies of one another except the Allah fearing.” (Mutaqeen) (43:67). Here, the Quran is not saying that friends will not help or benefit each other on that day, it is saying something much stronger, that friends who were not Allah-fearing will be the enemies of each other on the day of Qiyamah. Friends in the hereafter will regret making irreligious people their friends.Allah Taala says in the Quran, “Ah, woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a Khaleel (intimate friend)! He indeed let me astray from the reminder (This Quran) after it and came to me. And Shaytaan is ever a deserter to man (in the hour of need).” (25; 28-29) This will be the cries of the people. Further, Allah says: “Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the fire. He will say for each one is a double torment but you know not.” (7:38). Content yourself with those who Pray to their Lord morning and evening seeking His approval, and do not let your eyed turn away from them out of desire for attractions of this wordly life, and do not yield to those whose hearts We made heedless of Our remembrance, those who follow their own low desire, those whose ways are unbridle [Quran 18: 28] Our true and only friend should be Allah but in order to attain such high stage, one needs to make good, pious people his friends. May Allah save us from been content with bad Friends and give us the ability to act upon whatever we have just.
