Sulaiman Moola – The Spiritual Ladder – Exclusive Friendship

			Bismillah he was Salatu was Salam O Allah Rasool Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were bad. So
one of the greatest prophets of the Almighty that inhabited Earth was satana Ebrahim alayhi salatu
was Salam. In fact, Allah has lavishly praised him in 25 different chapters in 63 different verses
of the Quran and amongst the greatest of honors that has been conferred upon Ibrahim alayhis salam,
what has Allahu Ibrahim Ali Allah? Allah says that Ibrahim is the friend of the Almighty. But do you
know what my brother and have you given it thought my sister, Allah has extended that same
friendship to you and I? Yes, we have just not responded to that proposal of the Almighty. We've

Latina yo te Muna sobre verily, your only friend is Allah, His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and the pious believers. Let's understand this and just dissect the certain grammar that has been

adopts the expression of friend in a singular form, but he speaks of three friends. So he didn't say
friends in a plural form as in Olia, he said friend, as in Willie. And then he spoke about himself,
the messenger sallallahu wasallam and the pious believers. So how do we reconcile when we know the
Quran is blemish list and flawless? Right, let me ajala Who am I there's no deficiency in the Quran.
