Human beings are social and need friends. A good friend and companion is the greatest gift of Allah (swt).
Imam ‘Ali
has said, “Try to have as many as possible true friends, for they are the supplies in joy and the shelters in misfortunes”
Another saying of Imam Ali says: “Not having friends is like being a stranger in ones own land and being a loner."
It is important to choose good friends because our company has an effect on us. Friends can influence our thoughts, actions, reputation and religion. The Holy Prophet has said, “A man follows the faith, ways and habits of his friend."
