 *Who's Your Friend?*

[[----Episode Two---]]
-------------------------------

*Everyone Need Friends But Not Everyone Has Them*

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

On the Day of Judgment there won’t be any friends, rather it would be such a situation that friends would turn into enemies 📚(Quran chapter 43 verse 67). At such an instance, only those who are pious would remain friends of each other. Therefore, if one is to make friends, then he or she should make friends who are pious *(not those who leur you into extra marital affairs or boyfriend girlfriend stuff or backbittng, slander, visiting so-called Alfas who claim to have the knowledge of unseen and fortunetellers, cheating on ur spouses etc),* because such friends don’t just remain friends in this world only, rather they remain friends in the world hereafter as well.

Muslim Faithful!

When considering your friendships, remember the wise saying: *“Being alone is better than having an evil companion; and having a sincere companion is better than being alone.”* Yes.. Experiences have shown that many friendships have changed the destiny of individuals and their course of life.

Therefore,

As believers, we are instructed to be careful of the companions we choose for friendship.. This is bcos, our friendships can draw us closer to our Creator or cause us to sever all ties of faith we have established. As with most relationships in this lifetime, we will experience blessings in some friendships, and trials through others.

My people!

Most of us are usually aware of who, what, when and where pressure to do wrong can surface. It is important that we surround ourselves with righteous friendships, the kind that provides goodness, security, and remembrance of Allah.

👉 From the Qur'an:

"{And keep your soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face, and let not your eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; nor obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us,....}"📚 [Quran 18:28]

👉 From the hadeeth:

The Prophet  (PBUH)  was once asked, “'Who is the best person to befriend?'  He who helps you remember Allah, and reminds you when you forget Allah,' he wisely counseled. The Prophet (saw)  was also asked, 'Who is best among people?' He replied, 'He who, when you look at him, you remember Allah.'" 📚 Hadith

Now,

Pertaining the kind of people that a Muslim needs to avoid as friends, Allah Almighty says in Quran:

“The hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are all alike; they enjoin evil and forbid good and withhold their hands🤛 when it comes to giving sadaqah; they have forsaken Allah, so He (Allah) has forsake them; surely the hypocrites are the transgressors.” 📚(Q9:67)

From this ayah of Quran, it is clear that the people who are evil are the ones who enjoin in any kind of evil. Thus, such are the people who a sane Muslim should never befriend, as their friendship only leads to tyranny and evil.
