Alhamdulillah. I am happy to have the friends that I have. I am grateful that Allah had destined for me to befriend them. They are indeed a blessing. I am still meeting amazing people. I see them – and I begin to smile. I feel this bond with them. This.. invisible bond. I feel that, when I am with them, my eman is always high. Now that is a good friend. SubhanAllah. I just want to spend time with them, to hang out with them, to benefit from them. I want the beautiful aroma that comes from them to come on to me. I want to get rid of all the blacksmiths that get me dirty and stinky. I want to be with the musk-sellers. I want them to change me. To bring me closer to Allah. To change the way I think. I want to keep my lips moist with the remembrance of Allah. I want to spend time with those that remind me about what really matters.
Astaghfirullah Al Adheem.
“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.”
