The weight of righteous friendship

17 October 2025

Good friends are those who emphasise taqwa and righteousness, who enjoy doing good, and who consistently encourage us to follow the same path.

The Messenger of Allah s.a.w. showed a clear connection between friendship and a person's religious life. Our friendships and social circles can influence our practice of religion and the way we live our lives.

Good friendship is not just about establishing relations with who we like, but about who helps us become a servant whom Allah loves and is pleased with.
