Avoid Harmful Associations

Avoid Harmful Associations

Be cautious about deep attachments with those who lead us away from Allah. Negative companionship can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Encouraging sinful behavior
  • Mocking religious obligations
  • Spreading doubts about Islam
  • Engaging in excessive worldly distractions

Allah warns in the Quran:

“And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.” (Surah Hud 11:113)
