بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Children seek knowledge and enter school or college to seek knowledge. It is important for every one of us to seek knowledge.
ALLAH azwajal says in Al Quran
58:11 Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given
knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
2:269 He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has
certainly been given much good.
But in school colleges we get acquainted with co-students.
Acquaintances become friends, friends becomes best friends, and best friends we call as besties.
Righteous friends leads to success and bad friends leads to failure and sometimes even expulsion ending their careers.
ALLAH azwajal says that good friend will strengthen us
28:35 Allah said, “We will strengthen you through your brother and give you both power, so they cannot harm you. With Our signs, you and your followers will prevail.”
ALLAH azrajal gave Harun(As) to Musa(As) and AbuBakr Siddiq(ral) was best friend to Prophet()
On choosing right friends ALLAH azwajal says,
18:28 And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
With whom we are ordered to accompany
Narrated AbuHurayrah:: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man follows the religion of his friend; so each one should consider whom he makes his friend. (Sunan Abi Dawud 4833, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2378)
Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) )as saying:The similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one (iron-smith) blowing bellows, and the owner of musk would either offer you free of charge or you would buy it from him or you would. smell its pleasant odour, and so far as one who blows the. bellows is concerned, he would either burn your clothes or you shall have to smell its repugnant smell. (Sahih Bukari: 5534 ,Sahih Muslim 2628)
