			Be salamati Cora how to live on a
cattle and welcome to this week's
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			that'd be a lesson so today in sha
Allah Tala, we're going to be
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			talking about something very
interesting. that pertains to
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			every single one of you
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			choosing phrase, you know,
sometimes you grow up, and we
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			don't even need to choose them.
They're kind of like imposed on
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			us, right? There are cousins,
there are friends from Masjid.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			They're people who just grew up
around in class, in school,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			in the soccer team, and the
basketball team, but Swat,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			there is going to come a time even
if you didn't have to choose
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:43
			friends yet, you will have to
choose friends someday. So I want
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			to go over some ways that we could
choose good friends for ourselves
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			Inshallah, that would benefit us
in this dunya muslin in the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			afterlife, inshallah Todd. So what
is a threat to you guys to ask
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			yourself this incident friend,
kill a friend of somebody I could
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			play with, could laugh with
someone that understands me,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			someone that wants to play with
me, and I want to play with
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			someone that has the same
interests as me, so many different
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			answers. Right. But I want to ask
you another question. Now, instead
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			of thinking of what a friend is, I
want you to think of what are the
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26
			qualities you need to have or a
friend needs to have in order for
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			you to be there for it?
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			What do they have to be like? So
many different qualities, right?
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			It say, Oh, they have to have a
good family, go to the masjid,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			inshallah pray their five prayers,
challah, you're all praying your
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			five prayers.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			You know, they teach you something
good when you meet them. They
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:53
			never push you to do bad things.
We're good qualities that we that
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			we should have in our friends,
right? Because our friends
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			shouldn't be bad influences on us.
Nobody wants a friend. That's a
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			bad influence. Nobody wants a
friend that makes you feel bad.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			And that's why when you're making
friends, you never want to make a
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:13
			friend. That puts you doubt. You
never want to make a friend that
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			always makes fun of you, or calls
you by name that you don't like to
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			be called. You don't want to make
a friend out of somebody that
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			tries to tell you to do things
that would get you in trouble that
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			would make you that would make
Allah subhanaw taala displeased,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			though, you know, nobody wants a
friend like that. So you have to
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:41
			really be careful as to how you
choose your friends because it's
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			not only going to impact your
life, and how happy you are, but
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			it's going to impact even your
afterlife on the Dave judge. Did
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			you know that on the Day of
Judgment,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			there would be people only told
tall pulpits of light. Imagine
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			everyone's in the darkness of the
Day of Judgment after law
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			resurrects them from death and is
about to judge them.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			There are people that are going to
be in the midst of a tall pulpit
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			of light.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			You know, those people are here
the friends that loved each other
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			for the sake of Allah subhana wa
Tada. Whenever they met, the Met
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			for something that's good,
something that's pleasing to
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Allah. And whenever they left, and
they separated, they separated for
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			something that's good. And for
something that's pleasing to
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			Allah, that is a type of friend we
need to invest in. Because I'm
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			gonna do judgment. Everyone's
gonna run away from everyone,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:51
			except for the friends. Allah
subhanaw taala. He sent us in
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			little
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			bow bone Yoma is involved only
bothered I do run into them with
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			duping
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:02
			the closest friends will be like
their enemies on that day, except
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			for the ones who are pious and
righteous. Those God fearing
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			friends are going to be together
even on the Day of Judgment
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			Subhan Allah, so we need to invest
in good friends. Guess what? The
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			Rasul sai Salam also told us that
on the Day of Judgment, some
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:25
			people would be in paradise and
some people would be in the
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			hellfire. And the people in
Paradise would say, you know,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			Allah, our good friends, they
didn't do that good. They were
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			perhaps committing sin, and we
didn't know about it. But Boren,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			Jana and Arjuna can be complete
without our friends. And you know
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			what Allah will tell that people
have genuine, okay, go to the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52
			hellfire and take your friends
out, and I will forgive them. So
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			imagine a good friend can even be
someone who saves you from the
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Hellfire so that's why we got to
look for this good friend.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			I have never, ever ever settle for
a bad friend. Because they can be
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			the reason
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			that we end up in a bad place. We
seek refuge in Allah subhanaw
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			taala from that, so go ahead,
choose your good friends inshallah
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			to Allah choose somebody that
lifts you up to somebody that
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			teaches you choose somebody that
gives you moral support that makes
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			you happy that that that gets you
closer to Allah somebody that you
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			know from the masjid somebody that
you're related to that reminds you
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			of good even somebody that you
know from school wherever it
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			doesn't show up as long as they
are good people and they remind
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			you to do good things that they
are the friends who you want to
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
