(almost 3 months later...)
Part 2. :)
Friends
- The Prophet (pbuh) said to choose your friends wisely.
- Befriend the righteous.
- You can have friends from all religions and races, just make sure their personalities and actions are the right kind of influences.
When choosing friends... consider the following:
- are they going to influence you to do good or bad?- will they lead you to, or away from your main purpose in life?- will they encourage you and support you?
Hadith:
- Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Your friend should be honest. He forgives your mistakes, but does not hide nor exaggerate your weaknesses or strengths.
- The Prophet (pbuh) was further asked "Who is the best among people?" He answered, "He who when you look at him, you remember Allah."
Such a friend reflects qualities of love, mercy, honesty, service, patience, optimism, professionalism, and the entire lifestyle taught by Islam.
Random tips:
- Strengthen each other by making dua for each other. - Change subject if they speak of something haraam. - Have full trust that they will not tell anyone what you don't want anyone to know. (Secret keeping) - Don't backbite/slander and discourage each other. - Exchange gifts and love each other for the sake of Allah.
More to come. ;]

SubhanAllah, even the slightest of details have been taught to us by Allah through our Prophet(PBUH), If we give a look to it in the first place they are not tough, nor complex and neither so backward that it isn't applicable in the current situation. They are and will be always according to the current situation.
