Establish friendships with those individuals who, from the perspective
of humanity, are truly deserving of friendship. As it is crucial to select
individuals of moral integrity for friendship, it is equally vital to
continuously strive to nurture and uphold that friendship. A friend is
characterized as an intimate companion, an affable associate, and a jovial
partner. The essence of true friendship lies in the principle that one should
not grow weary or indifferent towards a friend, and in turn, the friend should
find comfort and solace in one's companionship.
Laughter and amusement shared with friends are also regarded as a high
moral value within human ethics. However, a true friend not only engages in
leisure but also upholds dignity, honor, and moderation. At times, it is
essential to openly express one's affection for those whom one loves. The
psychological effect of expressing love is such that it deepens the bond of
friendship, leading to an exchange of emotions that cultivates extraordinary
levels of sincerity and compassion. This exchange fosters a profound emotional
attachment, which, in turn, positively influences practical life. As a result,
friends come to embody the concept of a unified soul inhabiting two bodies.
To further strengthen and enhance the quality of friendship, it is
essential to serve one's friends. When contemplating the divine attributes of
Allah, it becomes apparent that His supreme characteristic is the service He
provides to His creation. Thus, if an individual adopts the service of humanity
as their mission, regarding humanity as friends, the gates of divine mercy open
for them, and ultimately, the entire universe submits to their influence.
Historically, our predecessors made it their practice to elevate those younger
or less privileged, and they aspired for their friends to have the same
blessings that they wished for themselves.
Among common people, the one most beloved to Allah is the one who brings
the most benefit to others. Furthermore, the individual who benefits humanity,
regardless of gender, is regarded as a friend to all of mankind.
Let us invoke Allah with the following supplication: "O Allah,
purify our hearts from hatred, arrogance, and the stains of hostility. Heal the
broken hearts caused by division and reconcile them with sincerity and love.
Grant us the ability to establish an exemplary spiritual society rooted in
unity and harmony."
Recite this supplication from the Quran: Our Lord, forgive us and our
brothers who preceded us in faith, and do not place any malice in our hearts
towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are full of kindness and
mercy. (Al-Hashr 10)
