Companions Define Character
The Prophet ﷺ said, “A person follows the religion of his close companion, so let each of you carefully consider whom he takes as a friend.” He also warned, “A righteous companion is better than solitude, and solitude is better than keeping company with a corrupt one.”
We must remain vigilant about the company our children keep—ensuring they are surrounded by those who nurture goodness and distancing them from harmful influences.
The same applies to us: we, too, must choose our companions wisely. While we may intend to uplift those around us, the reality is that we are often influenced more than we influence. The company we keep can either draw us closer to Allah or pull us away. If a friendship weakens our remembrance of Allah, we must have the courage to let it go.
May Allah grant us righteous companions and make our children a source of joy and comfort in this life and a means of reward in the Hereafter. Aameen.
