The Best Friend


The Respected Prophet (P.B.U.H) stated:

“The example of a good friend is akin to that of a musk seller’s shop; even if no profit is gained, the fragrance will still emanate. On the other hand, a bad friend is like a furnace; even if no fire ignites, the clothes will inevitably darken from the smoke.”

In selecting companions, it is imperative to consider the inclinations and thought patterns of the individual with whom one is forming a bond. Are their thoughts constructive and healthful? To what extent do they exhibit selflessness in matters concerning Allah and His Messenger (P.B.U.H)? The Respected Prophet (P.B.U.H) further proclaimed:
“A person is influenced by the religion of their companion; thus, every individual must contemplate with whom they form friendships.”

Establish and maintain relationships, particularly with friends, and extend cooperation to others, solely for the sake of seeking Allah’s pleasure. One should not pursue any benefit or material interest from these associations. The Respected Prophet (P.B.U.H) conveyed:

“On the Day of Judgment, Allah will proclaim: ‘Where are those who loved others solely for My sake? Today, I will grant them a place in My shade.’”

It is essential to place the affairs of Allah and His Messenger (P.B.U.H) at the core of one's and one’s friends’ engagements. The Respected Prophet (P.B.U.H) emphasized:

“Allah, the Almighty, has ordained that I love those who love one another for My sake, who gather to remember Me, who meet out of love for Me, and who treat one another kindly in their pursuit of My pleasure.”
