THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 10th Jumaadal Aakhir. (Thursday, 13th of January 2022). MAKE A SINCERE BELIEVER YOUR CLOSED FRIEND. BismilLah. 

Instead of making friends with the misguided ones, we should befriend the righteous and treat the rest in a gracious and just manner. Staying at sufficient distance is necessary, yet treating everybody in a noble and kind manner is required. We should have only good practising Muslims as our close friends.

ALLAH the Exalted says in the Qur’an: “And (remember) the Day when the wrong-doer will bite their hands and say: Woe to me! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger. Woe to me! If only I had not taken so- and-so as a friend! He/she has led me astray from this Reminder (the Qur’an) after it had come to me. And Satan is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.” Qur’an 25:27-29. Meaning satan after deceiving you will laugh at you and rubbish your claim against him on judgement day. 

Be wise and take heed before the inevitable Day comes when we are called to account for our actions. 

ALLAH says again:

 “O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow the right guidance and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, no hurt can come to you from those who are in error. The return of you all is to ME, then I will inform you about (all) that which you used to do.” Qur’an 5:105.

We ask ALLAH to make us of the righteous ones and give us companions that will take us away from HIS Wrath and lead us to HIS Pleasure and Paradise. Aameen.
