Friendship for the Sake of Allah

Friendship for the Sake of Allah

If your love for your friends is for the sake of Allah, it becomes a bond that transcends time and space—one that brings lasting spiritual benefit. Even separation or death cannot break a friendship rooted in sincere faith and unworldly love. But if that love is based on worldly interests alone, then even a joyful day of reunion can lead to countless days of sorrow and disappointment. True friendship, when built for the sake of Allah, endures beyond this life into the next. 

The Prophet(ﷺ) said, “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah, the Exalted, will say: ‘Where are those who loved each other for My sake? Today I will shade them in My shade, on a day when there is no shade but Mine.'” — Sahih Muslim
