                                                          The Path of Friendship

                                                            By: Habiba Ghanem

             "Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous"

               Take a moment to ponder over the above aya from Surat Az-Zukhruf.

             Are your friends leading you closer to paradise or closer to hell fire?

           

             When you choose your friends, you choose a path. Your friends can be people who remind you of Allah (SWT) or they can be people who lead you away from Him.

            The Prophet (PBUH) was reportedly asked: “Which of our companions are best?” He replied: “One whose appearance reminds you of God, and whose speech increases you in knowledge, and whose actions remind you of the hereafter.”

            Do you have such friends; do you have friends who inspire you to be a better Muslim?

            To have friends whom you love for the sake of Allah (SWT) is a great gift from Him. It’s a special kind of love. Of all the people in the world Allah (SWT) chose you and your group of friends to come together for His sake. They are the people who will help you up rather then bring you down. With Allah’s guidance you can all lead each other to paradise.

لأبن الجوزي كلام وفقه جميل من الحسن البصري”

‎​إن لم تجدوني في الجنة بينكم فاسألوا عني ...

            إن أهل الجنة إذا دخلوا الجنة ولم يجدوا أصحابهم الذين كانوا معهم على خير بالدنيا فإنهم يشفعون لهم أمام رب العزة ويقولون: ”يارب لنا إخوان كانوا يصلون معنا و يصومون “معنا لم نرهم“ فيقول الله جل و علا : اذهبوا للنار و أخرجوا من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من إيمان

            Your friends can save you but you must pick the right ones. To have an eternal bond, one that will last even in paradise where you will gather to enjoy the fruits of your labor, you must be wise. As the aya stated; Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.
