On
the resurrection Day, Allah shall announce: Where are those who befriend each
other for my sake. I shall accommodate them under my shadow. The enviable
position, enjoyed by such people on Resurrection Day, has been very Tersely
depicted by our Prophet (P.B.U.H) as he says:
Among
the bondsmen of Allah are those who are enviable to the Prophets and martyrs.
He was questioned: Who are they O Prophet of Allah? He answered: They are those
people who befriend each other for the sake of Allah, not for the sake of money
or hereditary pride. They remain unscared when others are scared of, and they
will not be caught by grief when others are scared of, and they will not be
caught by grief when others are grieved. Then prophet (P.B.U.H) recited the
following verse:
"Verily the friends of Allah
shall not have any fear and shall not grieve".
While
going to select a friend, you should keep in your mind the "Moral
Geography" of the person with whom
you have to establish the friendly relation because when you are closely
associated with someone, it is quite natural that their tendencies and ideas
shall encroach upon your mind. Therefore, you should be very particular in
establishing your friendly relation and it should be restricted to those whose
tastes, thoughts and concepts and life hustles and bustles strictly conform to
the Prophet's "NICE PRECEPTS".
Allah
glorifies the true friendship where He says:
"Verily the male believers and
female believers are mutually friends and co-operatives to each other".
Pin
your trust in your friends. Don't embarrass them and be among them cheerful not
sombrous. Lay the foundation of your friendship on sincerity, love and Divine
pleasure, not on the exploitation of your personal biased interests, and adopt
such germane manners that your friend may feel proud of you and gleeful of your
company.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
