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