A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 09:119). ‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū Allaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a sSādiqīna’, ‘O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’ Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says to those who believe, “Be with good truthful people. Be with faithful people”. There is an order for good people to gather and stick together.

Stay away from bad people, because a bad friend is the most dangerous thing. But unfortunately, it is widespread these days. Friends are bad from all aspects. They don’t do any goodness, they do badness to you. They have nothing except personal interest. Some pure people think that they are very sincere and very good. But they leave you at the slightest thing. Let alone leaving you, they act against you.

Therefore, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says to choose good ones and be friends with the truthful ones. If you are with one good person rather than a thousand, it is enough. He will help you here and hereafter. He will be with you in Akhirah. But the rest will leave you at the slightest thing in this world, and you will be left out in the middle.

Many youth and children hang out together without awareness. May Allah ﷻ protect them, they have a bad ending. They listen to neither their families, nor their fathers, nor their mothers, nor anyone since childhood. They follow them until they are knocked down. And then they want new ones to be like them and harm others.

All the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla are beautiful. We should pay attention to this order. We are living in a very dangerous time. There is rebellion and denial everywhere. They think it is a skill and are spreading it. Whoever passes this test will win. But who obeys his ego and is with such people will be at loss. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Insha’Allah may we all be with truthful people, good people, reliable people, with those who love Allah ﷻ and with those who fear Allah ﷻ.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
