On the Day of Judgment, Allah will inquire: "Where are those who
loved each other for My sake? Today, I will grant them a place under My
shade." On that momentous day, those who will possess exceptional honor
and grandeur, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) conveyed the following:
"Among the devotees of Allah are those who
are neither prophets nor martyrs, yet on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will
elevate them to ranks so distinguished that even the prophets and martyrs will
covet them."
The companions inquired, "Who are these blessed individuals, O
Messenger of Allah?"
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) responded:
"They are those who loved one another
solely for the sake of Allah, without any familial ties or worldly transactions
between them. By Allah! On the Day of Judgment, their faces will radiate with
light, while the rest of humanity will be trembling in fear. They shall have no
fear, nor any sorrow. And the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) recited this Qur'anic verse:
'Indeed, for the allies of Allah, there is no
fear, nor will they grieve.'" (Yunus 10:62)
In selecting friends, one must carefully assess
the ethical and spiritual state of those with whom they seek closeness. The
nature of one's associations influences the inclinations and thoughts they
adopt. Therefore, one should form bonds only with individuals whose character,
thoughts, and aspirations align with the prophetic model of excellence.
Allah, the Almighty, affirms:
"The believing men and believing women are
allies of one another." (At-Tawbah 71)
Place trust in your friends, never distress
them. Maintain an atmosphere of cheerfulness in their company. The essence of
friendship must be rooted in sincerity, love, and the pursuit of Allah's
pleasure, rather than personal ambitions. Cultivate a demeanor that enables
your friends to feel joy, vitality, and attraction in your presence.
