Brothers and Sisters in Islam today are chutzpah is titled righteous friends or righteous companions
and we're basing it off of the famous hadith of a Nabi sallallahu alayhi salam where he said in nama
method will Julissa slaughter with JD su kehamilan miski When after healthcare in this hadith and
Nabi SallAllahu Sallam gives a parable a comparison to the righteous friend and to the wicked or the
bad friend and he compared the righteous friend to hominid misc the must carrier someone who sells
oils colognes perfumes when ethical care which is the bellow blower which you will typically find at
		

			the blacksmith
		

			and he gives the examples of Allah Allah
		

			and maybe salon
		

			Dean
		

			and in this case
		

			will be the Dean of their Helene Dean in this hadith does not mean religion. Deen here means their
way of life or their lifestyle. Just like in the Hadith, of when someone comes to marry and ask for
your daughter's hand. Either document or Bona Deena who will hula hoop for the widow Deena who here
can't mean religion, because you will not accept anyone but a Muslim for your daughter is not
allowed to otherwise. So when the President said either document or Dona Dina, who in this hadith it
means when someone comes to you and you're pleased with their way of life, their lifestyle and with
their manners. So similarly here, a Raju and Adina Holly Karelia, a man who will be upon the
		

			lifestyle of his Helene and I'll Helene there is the very close companion. It's not just an
acquaintance but this is someone that is very close to you. So that means you're going to adopt the
lifestyle events, hobbies values of your close friend, so you should be careful and look carefully
to who to your close friends to see who they are.
		

			We'll walk into a few Marie and not smell a good odor or not get a sample on your hand or not get a
gift or buy or just
		

			You walk in and out completely unaffected is absolutely inconceivable. And it's inconceivable that
you work, you walk into the workplace of the blacksmith, and walk out and not feel any heat, or have
to dodge some sparks, or not smell a bad odor, either from the smoke of the fire or from the person
himself, or you yourself start to sweat, but it's just not possible to walk in and out and not be
affected. So the hadith is telling us, your close friends, they will affect you, they will either
affect you a lot, or they will affect you a little bit, but there will be some sort of effect.
		

			And that's why the companion even muster Oh, there'll be Allahu Anhu. He used to say, ma'am, in che
in de Loup, Allah, che, there is nothing that is more of an indicator of one to another, as a friend
is to his friend, even more so than smoke is an indicator to fire. So he's saying, when you see
smoke, it indicates that there is fire somewhere. He said, even more than that connection, is when
you see a friend, you know, that's how the other friend is, yeah. And if this friend is righteous,
then He's righteous. Or if they're corrupt, they're corrupt. And that's for the parents. And
sometimes parents are oblivious to this. A parents once told me, my my friend, or my son, all his
		

			friends do this, and this and this, but hamdullah My son doesn't do any of that. That's not
possible. He Why is he hanging out with these people that it's not possible.
		

			So and that's why a madman has an imbecile Rahima Hola. He used to give advice, he said, is stuck
through middle of high beside him for dunya for in the Holmium for oneo malappuram. He said, make a
lot of righteous friends in this dunya because they will benefit you on the Day of Judgment. And
then he proceeds to describe what is in a hadith of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that the people go
to Al Jana. And then they say, and this shows you and how strong love is and how strong friendship
is that even after they're in a Jana, they say, how can we enjoy the pleasures of a Jana while our
brothers are being tormented and punished into hellfire. That to that extent, how can we enjoy
		

			ginawa our brothers are being punished in the hellfire. Some of the scholars that these brothers are
referring to here are not even very close friends, not best friends or anything. Some of them some
of the scholars said this could be someone who just came and sat with them once at a gathering and
they remember this person. And so Fela,
		

			Fela is Allah Raju Yeshua. The man will continue to intercede for his friend until that friend will
be taken out of the Hellfire. And then the people of the Hellfire will be amazed and puzzled and
they will see they will say Manchester Allah Who Who is the one who interceded for them. They will
ask what's his father a Shaheed a martyr and it will be told no, was his brother a Shaheed and it
will be told no. Did an angel take them out of the Hellfire they will be told no did a prophet take
them out of the Hellfire, and they will be told no. And then they will be told it was their friend
who interceded for them and got them out of the Hellfire. And after that the people of the Hellfire
		

			will say, well, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned we sought a Shuara firmer than I'm interfering. We
don't have any intercessors what else are these 10 hammy and we have no close friends, fellow fellow
and Alana keratin for an akuna minal mini meaning he's there saying and if we could return back to
Earth, we would be from the righteous and some scholars said we would be from the righteous, we
would be close to the righteous we would be friend the righteous so they could benefit us in the
era. And that's why unsalted Zakharov Allah subhanaw taala says a killer who yo mama even Akela
plural of Helene, we said the halal is your very close companion. So the plural form the close
		

			friends on that day, yo ma e then ba go home labor or then I'll do one inland Matatini they will be
enemies to each other, except the righteous. So people who are together today and have strong bonds,
whether it be just regular bonds or in crime or gangs and they will die for each other. Those will
be enemies on the Day of Judgment. They will be cursing each other hating each other making dua
against each other in the hellfire, encouraging asking Allah subhanaw taala to curse the other
person and to punish the other person more because they were not righteous because they will blame
one another for being the reason that they ended up in the hellfire. And that's why it's very
		

			important, especially for the young men and women listening. And for the parents to be aware of
this. A lot of times, some of our youth they don't have any Muslim friends and when
		

			You told them make sure you have Muslim friends, they give the same argument. They always say those
non Muslim friends of mine are better than some of these Muslim friends. Right? But those non Muslim
friends are not from this quality that we're talking about. They will not intercede for you on the
Day of Judgment, they will not assist you on the Day of Judgment, and they will probably be enemies
on the Day of Judgment, there is no benefit. Make sure you have righteous friends, young and old.
Make sure you have a lot of righteous friends.
		

			In another Hadith, and again, you see, and many times you see this in Islam, you see an immense
reward. And when you look it up, it's something really simple. It's always like that. It mentioned
the word mentioned and just for doing a simple act or saying a simple short dog or praying too short
to look at. But in this hadith and Nabi SallAllahu sallam said in nemen, Iberdrola la owners and
muhimbi Ambia What are Shahada? He says, there will be people and this is talking about the day of
judgment from the servants of Allah. They're not prophets and they are not martyrs. You have built
to whom will NBR wish you had your multi Amma your beautiful home and RIPTA terminal Maura and NEMA
		

			Alethia and the lady he mean the lady Turman, Nisa, Alia and who Yanni. And ripple is when you wish
you had the blessing that the other person has, but without wishing for them to lose it. That's the
hazard. Do you just wish you had the same thing but you're happy that they have it? So these are
normal servants of Allah. And on the Day of Judgment, the prophets and the martyrs the highest
levels of people will wish they had with these normal people have yarmulke Yama be McCarney him and
Allah heeta Allah because of their position with Allah subhanho wa Taala In another Hadith, and
another version, the prophets Allah Salam describes that he will give them manorbier pulpits which
		

			are like elevated areas like stages, made of light, and their faces will be filled with light and
they will be upon light. Then the process of them describes Liahona either half openness, this is
the Day of Judgment. This is the day of fear when people are afraid Allah subhanaw taala called the
our Acharya allottee Dockrell Kulu that it shocks the heart with fear and Allah mentions how people
will be looking down just like when someone is in trouble they're looking down how many times in the
Quran of sorrow HA HA HA HA Sheraton absorbed room everyone is afraid everyone's in trouble but the
problem says these people lie a half I'm gonna either half a nurse they will not be afraid of people
		

			are afraid what I don't know when that either has been a nurse and they will not be sad and even if
everyone else is saddened, so the problem described them home Coleman to have both Bureau Bureau
Hila Allah lady or Harmon Boehner home. These are people who loved each other for the sake of Allah
and there was no blood relation between them.
		

			And if this was the only evidence we have for the importance of having righteous friends and loving
them and connecting them with them for the sake of Allah azza wa jal, it would be sufficient. In
another Hadith Allah subhanaw taala says, well Javad mabati that my love is guaranteed lil muda have
been a fee for those who love each other on my sick for my sake Yeah, and my love is guaranteed for
those two people or more who love each other for my sake. When moto jealousy in a fee and those who
gather and sit because of me for my sake, while Mutasa we Rena fee, and those who visit each other
for my sake, and visiting each other, this is an important point is something that we've kind of
		

			abandoned. Now. Make sure you visit each other in your homes and invite people to your homes.
Because the Hadith already mentioned that they sit together. So when you take your brother out to a
restaurant, and you sit there and talk and meet, you've accomplished this, you've sat together, but
Allah subhanaw taala specifically mentioned, they visit each other. And there is a higher level of
intimacy when you visit someone in their home. And you actually get to visually see the state that
they're in. And you get to see what kind of car they have. And they get you get to know if they're
poor or not. And, and many times you don't know the situation of people, I'll never forget, we were
		

			passing out the this was overseas, passing out the cut and fit area near the food. And there was a
brother we still always meet in the masjid. And we don't know his situation. And I was surprised
that we stopped and we just we delivered the food to his house. You would not know his situation
unless you visited his home. It's an another level of intimacy. And as we all know, the famous
Hadith of the man that was on his way to another village or town to visit his friend and Allah
subhanaw taala sent him an angel and the angel asked him a in a tweet, where are you going? And he
said, ready to leave. I had to heal Korea. I'm going
		

			to a brother of mine in this village, so then the angel asked him Do you have any business or
anything that you need from him or anything like that? And he says no, except that I just love him
for the sake of Allah has nothing else that I want from him. So he tells them I am an angel of Allah
sent to you to inform you be and Allah could have Baca come on up the houfy that Allah subhanaw
taala loves you just like you have loved your friend for the sake of Allah and that's why the early
Muslims when they would enter a new city What do I would they make when they enter a new city to
stay for a while or to move to it? They would say Allah Houma hey you need you need some solid there
		

			are is yeah Allah make find me a good companion that I someone righteous that I can be with Apollo
COLA that was tougher Allah Allah Emily, welcome, when you're going to do new festival through
Fairphone Mr Vereen, ask Allah subhanaw taala is first forgiveness Indeed, those who ask for his
forgiveness shall prosper.
		

			And hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah hill I mean, what are the early he
was a big marine about the word Sadiq which means friend in Arabic linguistically comes its route is
from a silk which is truthfulness. So what is truthfulness have to do with friendship. The scholars
said that if there's any gap, they fill it, if there is a shortcoming, they will complete it. If
there is a flaw in you, they will conceal it. If you need help in righteousness, they will assist
you, they will advise you, and they will care for your Astra, if you want to know who your true,
really good righteous friends are, see if they give you advice about your Ohana or not. Because the
		

			ones who love you are the ones who care for you're
		

			someone who doesn't advise you about your next life about your obedience to Allah subhanaw taala.
That is not true love. And that's why for the youth in the audience, who is always on your case,
about your era. It's your parents, or even more specifically, your mother who's always reminding you
to pray, because true love means you care for someone's. So advise one another and accept advice and
act upon that advice. The two last points we're going to mention, what if you have bad friends and
Bad Company? Do you stay with them? Or do you part ways, and the guideline is as follows. As long as
you are changing them to any good, even if it's just 5%. As long as good happens when you're with
		

			them, you have four friends, they're not very practicing. But when you're with them, they might pray
the whole, they might not use profanity or curse or do some haram things because your presence is
there, then you keep that relationship and you keep advising and you keep that link with them. But
if it ever gets to the point where when you're with them, you miss Lahore, you start to use bad
words or profanity or say things that are inappropriate, the minute starts to affect your deen.
That's one as the point where you can part ways from them. And then the last thing is setting
boundaries with friends. And we always say the good news here is that you only have to set the
		

			boundary one time. You don't have to always do it. You have to let them know that you don't accept
something once and they will remember it the rest of the time. It's not like every time you meet
them, you have to say it. But a lot of times people are very scared or shy to let people know what
makes them comfortable or uncomfortable what their boundaries are. So don't you only have one time
to do it one time and they will listen, that's the end of that. But a very important note,
especially in our day and age is that when you set the boundaries, you don't have to be rude. And
there doesn't have to be a tone of belligerence and rudeness. Just let people know what your
		

			boundaries are. And then continue on with your friendship
		

			with that Allahumma and we'll have to hop on we're gonna Tibba we're in about elaborated on was
