Home Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) stated, "The believer is like a mirror to other believers (in truthfulness)." Like a mirror, your friend gives you an honest image. He forgives your mistakes, but does not hide or exaggerate your strengths and weaknesses. Once the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was asked, "What person can be the best friend?" "He who helps you remember Allah (SWT), and reminds you when you forget Him," the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), counseled. Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was further asked, "Who is the best among people?" Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) replied, "He who, when you look at him, you remember Allah (SWT)". Such a friend reflects qualities of love, mercy, honesty, service, patience, optimism, professionalism, and the entire lifestyle taught by Islam. Imam Ali (as) Says: "The poor is one who does not have any friend." Imam Ali (as) Says: "Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company (friendship)." Imam Ali (as) Says: "Friendship transfers a stranger in to a relative." Imam Ali (as) Says: "Do not choose as your friend the enemy of your friend." Imam Ali (as) Says: "Two true friends are a single soul in different bodies." Imam Ali (as) Says: "He who discards a friend for slight offence risks loneliness." Imam Ali (as) Says: "In time of distress a man can distinguished between his friend and enemy." Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) Says: "Be careful to have truthful friends and try to obtain them, for they are your support when you are in welfare, and your advocator when you have misfortune." |
