Who are your
friends?
"And the believing men and
the believing women are protecting friends
to one another. They command what is right and
they forbid what is wrong and they establish
the salah and produce the zakah and they obey Allah and His
messenger”(Quran,
9:71)
Muhammad said:"A
person is on the path of his intimate
friend, so let each of you look carefully at whom he takes as an intimate
friend."
How much do our
friends affect us
Muhammadsaid:""The example of a
good friend and a bad friend is like the seller of Musk (perfume) and the blacksmith. If you go to the seller of
perfume, you will either leave (happy) buying perfume,
or you will leave with the smell of the musk. And If you stand by the
blacksmith you will burn your clothes, or you will leave with the *smell
of* the stink of his
work."
"Let not the believers take the unbelievers as Auliya
(supporters,
friends, helpers) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be
helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from
them." (Quran,3:28)
They will be the best
of friends in this world, but in
the hereafter they will be the worst of
enemies to each
other
"On the day when the wrongdoer will bite
upon his hands (from regret), he will say, `O would that I had taken a path
with the Messenger, O Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as
an intimate friend; he certainly lead me astray from the remembrance after
it had come to me and Satan is to man ever a deserter in the hour of need"
(25:27-30)
In the
hellfire:"Oh
Allah, this person(the friend from the
world)took me by my hand to the haram, Ya Allah! Ya Allah!
Double his punishment! And curse him with a mighty curse! How
painful the hellfire, and yet that person is still wishing it to
be worse for his friend. But then Allah(swt) will double BOTH
their punishments.
See these `friends' they weren't really
friends in the
world, and as you can see they won't be
friends in the hereafter
