10 Ways To Be A Real Friend by babs01(m): 4:44pm On May 03, 2016
Qasim Adepegba and ~ Khawlah bint Yahya,


The Beauty of Loving For Allah’s Sake

How can you be a real friend?
Here are 10 ways you and your friend can be true friends when together:

1. Leave each other’s company with a higher level of imaan (faith in Allah swt) and start the conversation with the Islamic
greeting “As-Salaamu Alaykum”

2. Almost always mention Allah (swt), Noble Qur’an, or Hadith in some context or the other, in your conversations.

3. Strengthen each other’s belief in the hereafter. Give each other more duaa’s (well wishes) than material gifts! And pray for your friends in their absence. The Prophet (pbuh)said: The quickest prayer to be answered is a man’s supplication for his brother in his absence.

4. Attend Islamic study-circles together and never waste each other’s time in useless activities. Never invite the other to a place or gathering of sin.

5. Politely point out and reform each other’s mistakes or bad habits in the best way possible.

6. Become uninterested and change the subject if the other starts to say something that is impermissible (like backbiting!).

7. Always discourage the other if they plan to do something wrong and always encourage the other if they intend to do a good deed that they’re hesitant to do.

8. Address each other in a respectful and loving manner. Forgive each other’s faults and shortcomings, and hide them from others. Hamdoon al- Qassaar said , If one of your brothers commits an error, then
seek ninety excuses for him, and if not, then you are the blameworthy one. And the Prophet (pbuh) said: No two people who love one another for the sake of Allah (SWT), or for the sake of Islam, will let the
first minor offence of either of them come between them.

9. Don’t envy the signs of Allah’s bounty upon them. Rather be happy for them and praise Allah (swt) as if these bounties where upon you! Or do they envy men for what Allaah has given them from His bounty. [Sooratun-Nisaa] 10. Don’t break your promises. Rasulullah
(saws) said, The signs of the hypocrite are three: When he speaks he lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it and when
he is entrusted he acts deceptively.

10. Don’t hold grudges. The Prophet (pbuh) said: The doors of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday, and every servant
who does not associate anything with Allah (swt) will be forgiven, except for the man who bears a grudge against his brother. It
will be said, `Wait for these two until they reconcile, wait for these two until they reconcile, wait for these two until they
reconcile.’

I pray you will benefit,
