Being a Good Companion

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Just as we seek righteous companions, we must strive to be good friends to others. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

(Bukhari, Muslim)

Being a good companion means:

• Offering sincere advice and encouragement.
• Refraining from gossip and slander.
• Being trustworthy and supportive.
• Uplifting others in times of difficulty.

Avoid Harmful Associations

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Be cautious about deep attachments with those who lead us away from Allah. Negative companionship can manifest in various ways, including:

• Encouraging sinful behavior

• Mocking religious obligations

• Spreading doubts about Islam

• Engaging in excessive worldly distractions

Allah warns in the Quran:

"And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped." (Surah Hud 11:113)

Reality of Death

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Death is the only certainty in life, yet it is the most neglected reality. Many live as if they will never leave this world, becoming absorbed in material pursuits. Allah reminds us: "Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction."

(Surah An-Nisa 4:78)

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) frequently reminded his companions to reflect on death, a powerful motivator for righteous living. He said: "Remember often the destroyer of pleasures: death."

(Sunan Ibn Majah)
