Suleiman Hani – Unknown Legacies #10 – Two Close Friends

			Because on the Day of Judgment, nobody is going to stand there and take the bullet for you or take
the accountability for you, you're going to be held accountable for your choices.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran about two friends, this is a famous story in order to
solve that. I have 50 all the way to 61 talking about the people of Ghana, and one of the people of
Ghana. He's talking to the others. And as they are talking about what about Humala barreling into
saloon they start asking each other questions. So one of them shares his story point a point, you
know, minimum in the Canary Korean one of them says I used to have a very close companion according
very close companion, your puluh are in a condominium most of the ugly, he used to ask me, Are you
amongst the believers? Either meet now Hakuna to Robin wire environment in dilemma. Do you know that
		

			when we die, become dust and bones, that we're going to be resurrected, that we're going to be
brought back? Now this is not the type of question of a friend who really is sincerely asking
tiller. It was the type of question to make him doubt to make him lose his faith to shake him in his
Eman. You really are amongst the believers. It is like somebody asking you in mockery? Do you
actually believe that you really believe in life after death after your body is decomposed? Like
really? It's a type of mockery, it's very condescending, is very arrogant. It wasn't asking to
learn. Someone's asking to learn you respond normally. There's no problem with that. He was asking
		

			to shake his faith to make him doubt to make him feel silly, crazy backwards, you're amongst those
backwards, people who still believe you believe in a scripture that was revealed 1400 years ago.
That's the question. That's what they're asking. Now of codeine is a close friend. This person the
believer has a close friend had a close friend who was trying to make him know, you might have
friends at various levels of practice, where you have to choose your friends very carefully. When it
comes to choice and companionship, you have to choose your companionship very carefully, it will
have an impact on you that you will eventually see on the Day of Judgment. So choose wisely.
		

			Sometimes people don't realize how much they are influenced by their friends, their close friends,
they don't realize how many things you take from them. And you think to yourself, Okay, well, I have
Muslim friends who are not practicing. They they don't have good character, and they're Muslim. But
I have some non Muslim friends who are a kind, they're respectful, they have good character in
accordance to Islam, they have good character, but they don't pray. They don't believe in Allah.
What's riskier, this is a really weird situation to ask about why we're not asking you about two bad
examples here, where somebody is harming you in terms of not practicing, and somebody is harming in
		

			terms of not believing. But ultimately, ultimately, the most important thing is your athlete, your
worldview, if the person who has good character might influence you negatively, and you'll start to
lose your Eman that's very problematic for you. Because on the Day of Judgment, nobody's going to
stand there and take the bullet for you or take the accountability for you, you're going to be held
accountable for your choices. So somebody might have better character than a Muslim. And that's
sadly the case in many of our experiences and communities. But it doesn't mean that they're awfully
that is better. That doesn't mean that this person has a good influence on you. We're not talking
		

			about acquaintances, and we're not talking about family members. We're not talking about
companionship that you cannot choose. We're talking about the friends that you do choose choose very
carefully. And when you choose a friend and you choose to be around them, it's not like you're
looking down on someone who's not practicing. It's not like you are thinking that you're better than
other people. Oh, the villa May Allah protect us all know, you're protecting yourself if you feel
that you are influenced easily by other people. And you also have good companionship, and you keep
the door open for those who are struggling so that you're helping them you're influencing them
		

			positively and chalant data and you're picking them up rather than letting them pull you down. Don't
be around people are trying to make you doubt your religion because oftentimes the most dangerous
kind of friendship, or companionship is the kind that takes away your entire arsenal. Be very
cautious. The story continues. He's talking in general about this bad friend that he had. And as
they're talking, he says Paula Hill and to move Polly around in one of the toughest areas said he
will be asked and they will all be asked. Do you want to see where he ended up? The bad friend that
made you doubt your Islam? Made you doubt your Eman made you doubt that God created you? This is not
		

			the type of difference where you're debating with a friend about your favorite sports team or your
favorite iPhone versus Android or you're debating your favorite food biryani versus Maluma versus
Mensa. You're talking here about life and death you're talking about Jana and Jana, these are very
heavy matters close friendship will influence you whether you realize it or not choose very
cautiously because when they looked on 102 What Polly Arun when they look to see where he is for
upon alpha o visa and Jain he looked and he saw that his friend is in the midst of the fire. What
did he say from Jana? Fall at Allah he in kittila told Dean, he said by Allah you almost ruined me.
		

			You made me doubt I remember what you say. You almost ruined me as well. When hola and Yamato be the
continental martyr and had it not been for the Nirvana the blessing of my Lord
		

			The fevers of my Lord, I too would have been in the fire. In other words, a scrub your success and
your guidance, Oh Allah subhanaw taala the choices that you make that end up being ascribed to Allah
subhanaw taala that Allah sends you many, many blessings. If you're young, maybe you're a blessing
was not your parents raised you in an environment in which they warned you stay away from bad
friends. That's an enema from Allah to protect you. Maybe that was what it was. Now, sometimes
teenagers, sometimes youngsters, they get very upset with their parents always telling me what to
do, telling me who to hang out with telling me to stay away from this person, but this person is
		

			fun. This is a funny friend. And the reality is you don't see at that point, maybe your wisdom is
not there yet. Maybe the knowledge is not there yet. But eventually inshallah Tada, you get to a
point where you see one day that it was actually good for you that they were advising you for your
sake to protect you, because they care about your entryway into gender as well. Oftentimes, that
might come through social media. If you're online and you your eyes happen to fall upon a hadith,
and I have the Quran, a beneficial clip, and you saw something good. Don't really quickly scroll
past it and ignore it. You're like, oh, there's millions of these. I'm not here for this, though
		

			scroll past this. So you can go watch something useless something harmful cat video or something
else, Allahu ANA will stick to it for a moment. So this is from the Naumova law, that I was able to
see this today. Take an accept that dharma. Some people reject it, and they end up regretting their
decision. Some people reject the advice of their parents stay away from that person. They're not
good friends and our people help you as a believer. choose very carefully. May Allah subhanaw taala
guide us and forgive us whatever learner motto be. Allah guides us in so many ways, the continual
monitoring, so we ascribe our success to Allah. Now this person in Jannah, unnamed we don't know who
		

			they are. Imagine any two friends, it could be any two people that you know, it could be you and
somebody else, it could be two college students today.
		

			And then this person turns back to the people of Jana. And now the attention has shifted away. The
person of hellfire now is no longer regarded as a man I'm gonna be meeting. Like we're in gender.
Now imagine we're never going to die again. Except the first data we experience and we're not going
to be punished. Is this real? We're here forever. Is this it? We've made it to gender? In other
words, yes, it is. It's a rhetorical question here are what tells us in the herd Allahu unfollows
allow the limits we have for the Armillaria This is the ultimate success. That's victory. That's
what it means to triumph to win that you've made it to Jana and the pleasure of Allah. For all of
		

			this all the records of gender you know about and the ones you don't know about Lithonia that fell
Jamelia. Let the doers do let the people work. Everyone works for something. But not every result is
the same. Some people put in so much effort towards useless things. Some people spend so much time
on wasteful hobbies. Some people spend a lot of time on soon sinfulness as a lifestyle.
		

			Use your efforts for a return that is eternally pleasing, pleasing to us rather than pleasing to
you. Jana is a true success in New Jersey to Malama Bhima Sabado. And now who will fight is when
Allah says I have rewarded the people of Jennifer their perseverance, their hard work their efforts,
that they are the true winners. If you win everything in this world according to people's standards,
and worldly standards of degrees and jobs and everything else, and you don't win in terms of the
purpose of life, then you haven't won anything. And if you don't end up winning much in this world,
and you struggle and you struggle, you struggle, but you hold on to your faith, no matter who makes
		

			you doubt no matter what gets in your way, no matter what temptation is there, you hold on to your
faith, and you enter Jannah you are a true winner. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to win in this
life and the next life. All bene attina for dunya Hasina will feel clearer to Hasina walk cleaner
and have enough Aloma
