Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala
guides,
so choose your friends very carefully.
Allah subhanahu wa'ala speaks about choosing the right
friends and there are so many stories in
the Quran there are many stories in the
hadith of the Prophet
So even though Allah subhanahu wa'ala speaks about
your spouse,
your husband or wife, he calls them companion
or friend.
So not only Allah subhanahu wa'ala talks about
choosing a friend, but he also talks about
choosing
their fingers out of regret and remorse. And
they will say, we wish that we followed
the prophet and the his suina, we follow
him closely,
and we wish we didn't follow these evil
people who kept us away or drove us
away from a straight path.
And the most common law says at the
end, Shaitan
will lift his face on the day of
judgement. He will lift it down.
Friends will be enemies to one another
except with friends, the righteous
friends.
So the good, the bad, because there are
some in between.
He was a good Muslim. So he said,
no. I'm not going there.
He looked through a window
between Jannah and Hellfire, and he saw a
string in the basement of Jannah.
To following you and falling in the hand
of light. So this is an intelligent
friend. So he cut off his companionship with
him because he was taking him to the
wrong place.
I didn't know that. You know that the
difference between the 2.
So, you go to school with some people
or you are acquainted with someone or you
said with them, you work with them, you
tell them for example, let's go and pray
in the mission. There's a lecture in the
mission. The brother will tell you, well, you
know, I have a problem. I hear, I
can't hear, you know, I can't go. You
know I can't
then we'll tell them okay let's go and
let's go out and chase girls okay let's
go what about you here I'm okay now
okay so let's start with going to the
message then let's go and chase the women
out
I can't hear you like, you know the
problem I have a problem right here. So,
whenever you want to do something good
if they leave you away then they are
not good friends. If they motivate you and
encourage you these are the friends who take
you and they show you a Surah of
Mustafiq.
So these are the types of prayers that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala means about the end
of Tu'ba.
Also,
you are as good or as bad as
your friends as the prophet
says in the hadith.
In dunya al Adal. You will get the
same treat that they get in dunya
and the same in Adal. Okay. So for
example, we are sitting in the masjid or
you are sitting somewhere with the righteous
you and your friends.
You are reading Quran together, you are studying
together, and someone came to the masjid and
decided to give food or give gifts to
everybody sitting in the masjid.
What if you are sitting there in the
side, you're not doing anything, and you are
just listening to them, you will get the
exact same reward.
Okay. Then the Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Alaiqeed
if you are sitting with them you are
one of them. But
if you have friends
they are sitting in somebody in the apartment
and they are doing drugs or they are
doing something wrong
and the place is raided by the police.
Whether I'm just sitting with them you're not
doing anything,
we just go with it to the nightclub,
you sit on the side or play with
your phone or not actually doing anything wrong
with them
and the place is raided by the police.
Do you think they will leave you and
they take the rest?
Oh, I was not doing anything. I'm just
logging the floor, you know. I was not
doing drugs with them. Of course, they will
take you with them.
Why? Because if you are sitting with them,
you are one of them. And the same
way happens on the day of judgment, in
the stories until today in the next sight.
An example for the first,
example we gave, because I am Fad
so in this beautiful kadeem, the Zayin al
Fayed and Nusun narrated by,
Abu Bay Allahu Anhu, the prophet
says there are honorable Barak angels
they fly out
So when they return to the
What if they have seen it? Then the
Al Aqsa will say, you Allah, Allah, if
they will be more keen
to ask for
it. They will be more keen to ask
for it in pursuit of Jannah, then Allah
will ask, what are you asking protection law
from me? So the Malaygo will say, you
are asking protection from Jahannam, the hellfire.
Then Allah subhanahu wa'ala, obviously, have they seen
the empire? They haven't seen them, but have
they seen it, Jannah?
Then it'll also kind of, I will say,
their name is that I have forgiven all
of them. This group of people who were
sitting together, glorifying me, and praising me, and
remembering me.
So Lot of people will say,
You Allah, but wait. There's someone who is
sitting with them. He's not actually one of
them. He was just sitting in the to
his side waiting for Muhammad to finish because
he wants to borrow money, to buy a
car, or something. He didn't come exclusively to
remember Allah or people out of anything. He's
just sitting to the side. He's just listening
to it. He's not one of them. So
Allah subhanahu wa'ala will say if he's sitting
with them, he is one of them. He
is also forgiven like them.
So this is Sabir al Khaim You are
as good as the people you are sitting
with and you are as bad as people
you are sitting with.
Inshallah,
salukh
the Surah Al Khashqah,
the Surah you read on Friday, you will
see that Allah subhanahu wa'ala honored
a dog 4 times on the same page.
The Zohi is mentioned 4 times
because he was in the company of the
righteous, good people. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
honored him just like He honored them. So
on the same page, the word die is
mentioned 4 times.
Of course, the most common and I will
give us a bit of honor than this.
When you read in Surah Al Qas
where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks about the
companions of the Faire, his soldiers and hamam
and his people,
Allah, khanahu, a'la, disgraced him twice from the
same page at the beginning of Surah Al
Qasas.
Be God they were always in the company
of someone who is a just, someone who
is a tyrant.
So I always say at the beginning, you
are as good or as bad as your
friends, so select and choose your friends carefully.
We'll continue next slide inshallah.
