Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam
The Beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam said: “Man is influenced by the faith of his friends. Therefore, be careful of whom you associate with.” (Muslim)
Hazrat Ali Radi Allahu anhu Says : Two true friends are a single soul in different bodies.
Some of us have excellent friends who can be relied upon and give out good advice, whilst others may have friends who can put pressure and lead one astray.
Please vote and leave your valuable opinions what friendship means to you?
JazakAllah Khayran.
Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Good thread sister nomee. For me its all of them except someone who you can take advantage of. I dont not believe that is a good freind.
But the most important one for me is someone you can reply on in a crisis.
Jazakallah Khayran

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu A friend is one who never harms you and advices you when he sees a fault in you. He also reminds you of the commands of Allah (azza wa jall) etc. If a friend does not help you with your deen, its better not to be friends with that person. We as friends should help when we can, make dua for them and never expect anything in return.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu I dont think good friendship does exist aajkal ki duniya mein :-/I mean trustworthy friendship its hard to trust anyone. that's my view hence I voted for other . A good friend is one who accepts you and respects you as you are, and even if he/she finds anything wrong in you then I agree wid brother's points here.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuI wonder who voted "don't have any friends" surely thats not true Sister Ayesha some of us are lucky to have good friends so I do think good friendship exists. I have voted someone you can trust and confide in although all good qualities will be found in a friend, my best friend has been my friend since the age of 5 (nursery) we have shared happiness, sadness together we have taught each other many things, and pleasantly her son is my youngest sons friend too from their mosque class, Al hamdulilla.

nomee aapa lucky you are to hav such a nice childhood frnd. hmmm, back in my school memories when I was in high school one of my close frnds who was class rep, was asked by our class teacher to enter marks of all class students in reports.she was one of my good frnd's and asked me to help her out by just dictating the marks so that she may directly enter them. to help her I said ok dear. now, the class rep's some of group frnds were failing in some subjects . class rep cleverly changed some of her failing frnds marks into passing marks . ,and she didnt tell me abt it and I dont know she did it .now, after some days when she got caught by our class teacher and questioned ,just to escape punishment and so that her image doesnt get spoiled she cleverly pointed towards me in front of whole class and our teacher and told--------- she was dictating the marks and I just copied whatever she dictated and escaped telling that she was innocent and I did all that . I was as I was innocent and was nt aware of her gamblenes she did wid me. . khair ,I hav forgiven her for that . but hav also learnt a good lesson never trust a wahaaban . Its not that I hav stopped making frnds I hav many good frnds , school and college frnds but I dont trust them 100% ,only upto a certain limit I trust them .good lesson I learnt for no fault of mine

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
In my life I have met only one true friend: Aboo Bakr. He's more than a friend to me, so I prefer saying a true brother. Masha Allah, may Allah keep him well. He's kind and helpful, yet he doesn't accepting anything back even though you insist and even though he has a simple life (without luxury). He has principles you can learn from. Did I mention he's always ready to help? He doesn't tell others about your mistakes.
I remember a few years back, once after salah we went to get dinner. You needed a tray in order to get food. Now there was only one left and at the exact same moment Aboo Bakr's hand held on the tray together with someone elses hand. So they kept pulling it to each other and at one moment it was going a little rough. In the end Aboo Bakr seized it and gave it to me... ME! I, who was just watching from the side! I said no Aboo Bakr you take it. And with his calm voice he said no you take it. I said no again but it's not in his nature to take no for an answer. And at that time I didn't know him even that well and he's normally always calm!
I'm not really a person who feels much through others experiences, but I had never felt more empathy for someone when Aboo Bakr lost his mother. The way he showed respect to his mother, masha Allah.
May Allah keep him well.
Wassalamu 'alaykum

Assalamualaikum From a personal point of view i think the best kind of friend is the one that will tell you when you are right and when you are wrong. Some people tend to think a good friend is the one that always takes your side even if you are wrong. if thats the case then how will they lead you to the right path? Also it is possible to be someone and have no friends.....I happen to be one of those people. And this problem of mine is because i am not biased and i will always tell my friends when they are wrong (not always picking on them but only when its a problem) and like wise i get a little sick when a friend of mine constantly tells me i'm right knowing that I am wrong. I hope this can help us all in understanding where i'm comig from
