friendship

The word friendship is an abbreviation in which F stands for frank, R for rescuer, I for intellectual, E for ethical, N for nimble and D for donor. A person is said to be friend when he has these qualities. We all should friends because it is famous saying of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (PBUH) that “if you make friend then then it means that you have made your half life.” Friends are blessing of GOD, and that person is the best friend which inhabits us from doing illegal deeds. That person is poor which has no friend and more poorer then that is the person who has friend but has lost him. Real love is rare friendship is also rare. Before making a friend we ought to investigate about the friend and scrutinize his faithfulness in his religion, is he wise and ethical. Greedy, eccentric and a fibbing friend are not reliable for friendship so we should shun from these types of friends. Islam strictly give emphasize on choosing moral and mature thinking friends.

IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ decreed about a loyal friend that “a good friend is like wind which passes through lush green garden full of splendid and aromatic flowers, then the wind takes the scent of flowers with itself and if we smell it ,redolence and aroma comes from the wind but initially this wind has no odor and when it through the flowers it fills the fragrance. Hazrat MUHAMMAD(PBUH) says about a bad friend that “ a bad friend is like fire, if play with it, then it burn us, same as a deceiving friend burns us into ash by turning us towards errantication. Islam gives us the lesson of peace and friendship. We should accept the offer for friendship by a prudent friend.
