ADVICE/TIPS: Choose Your Friends Carefully

Mariam Mababaya says:

A friend likes being with you, but a true friend always wants you to be with them.

If you want to know the true nature of a person, see how they deal with their 'best friends'.

Let Allah always be one of your best friends.

A fool will always make anyone and everyone their 'best friends'; a smart person will never make friends with someone who is against them or who could get them both into trouble.

Allah knows best.

Just Sharing: Hadith on Allah's Righteous Friends

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:

"Allah (the Almighty and Most Majestic) said: 'Whosoever shows enmity to someone (a righteous Muslim) devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him (example: praying the daily salahs at their times etc.), and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him (example of supererogatory deeds: praying Sunnah Dhuha, salatul Witr and Tahajjud, fasting on Mondays and Thursdays etc.). When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.'"

Allah knows best.
