Companions and Friendship

Humans are social creatures by nature; they're always in need of 

friends and companions. 

Most of our lives depend on interaction with others. 

Strong individuals are the core of a strong community, something that 

Muslims should always strive for.

We all know that Allah (SWT) the Most High has brought us to life 

in order to test us. Thus we are here for a relatively short period of time 

and that we shall meet Allah (SWT) one Day, so we need to use our present life 

for what is best for us in the hereafter. 

Once we know our purpose and our goal in life, we should seek 

ways to achieve them so as to benefit our own selves.

In an authentic Hadith, Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: 

"Man is influenced by the faith of his friends. Therefore, 

be careful of whom you associate with."

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) who has the most noble character and dealings 

with fellow humans gave us a very clear and simple message and 

advice in regard to friendship.

How should we choose our friends? We should choose the friend 

that believes and abide by our religion (Islam) and gives great respect 

to what Allah (SWT) and Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has ordered us. 

And we should stay away from that who is not well mannered and gives 

no attention to what Islam is about or what pleases or displeases Allah (SWT), 

for he will surely affect us negatively. 

There is no good in the companion drowns us in sins and displeasing Allah (SWT).

In another Hadith, Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: 

"The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of 

the seller of musk, and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows. 

So as for the seller of musk then either he will grant you some, or 

you buy some from him, or at least you enjoy a pleasant smell from him. 

As for the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows then either 

he will burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell from him."

When choosing our friends we should ask ourselves first: 

Are they going to help us achieve the purpose for which 

we were brought to life? Or will they take us away from it? 

Will they desire for us Allah (SWT)'s pleasure or is that completely 

irrelevant to them and not their concern at all? 

Are they leading us to Paradise or to the Hell?

Power of Positive Thinking

In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, 
depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them.

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.

Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or 
annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things 
before us!  This can be read as "GOD IS NO WHERE" or

as "GOD IS NOW HERE" everything depends on how you see it.

So think positive always.

Thinking positive is the key to your success.

All successful people have one thing in common:

Positive thinking and passion for what they are doing!

Norman Vincent Peale, the famous author of

"The Power of Positive Thinking" once told this story.

A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale.

He was despondent and told the reverend that
he had nothing left to live for.

Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his office.

"Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him.

"I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact,
I've lost heart for living altogether."

Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically.

"Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly.

On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle.

He suggested that they list on the left side the things
the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left.

"You won't need that column on the right side,"

said the man sadly.

"I have nothing left, period."

Norman Vincent Peale asked,

"When did your wife leave you?"

"What do you mean? She hasn't left me.

My wife loves me!"

"That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. "

Then that will be number one in the right-hand column -

Wife hasn't left. Now,

when were your children jailed?"

"That's silly. My children aren't in jail!"

"Good! That's number two in the right-hand column -

Children not in jail," said Norman Vincent Peale, jotting it down.

After a few more questions in the same vein,

the man finally got the point and smiled in spite of himself.

"Funny, how things change when you think of them that way,"

he said.

Motivational Quote: "Be sure that you appreciate everything

you've got; and be thankful for the little things in life
that mean a lot."

Inspirational Quote: "It is not what you have but it is 
how you think has a profound effect on your life."
