BEST FRIEND IN ISLAM

1 ASSALAMU’ALAIKUM WR.WB

2 DEAR MY STUDENTS,AT THIS PRECICIOUS MOMENT I’D LIKE TO DISCUSS ABOUT “BEST FRIEND IN ISLAM”

3 AT FIRST, LET’S DISCUSS THE MEANING OF THE PHRASE “BEST FRIEND”

4 WHAT’S “BEST” AND WHAT’S “FRIEND”? 5 IF WE LOOK UP AT DICTIONARY “BEST” CAN BE DEFINED AS “BETTER THAN ALL OTHERS IN

QUALITY OR VALUE”, THE HIGHEST QUALITY, THE MOST OUTSTANDING.”

6 WHEREAS “FRIEND” CAN BE DEFINED AS “A PERSON ATTACHED ONE ANOTHER BY FEELINGS OF AFFECTION OR PERSONAL REGARD” OR “A PERSON WHO YOU LIKE AND ENJOY BEING WITH”

7 AFTER KNOWING THIS ; LET’S THINK ABOUT OUR FRIENDS. ARE ALL OF THEM OUR BEST FRIENDS?

8 IN MY OWN OPINION THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FRIEND : NORMAL FRIEND AND BEST FRIEND.

9 NORMAL FRIEND IS A FRIEND WITH NORMAL RELATION. WE JUST HAVE A GOOD RELATION AND REGARD BUT IT IS NOT VERY CLOSE. WHEREAS BEST FRIEND IS A FRIEND THAT WE KNOW, LIKE AND TRUST.

10 ONE MAN OF LETTERS SAYS, “A FRIEND IS A SHOULDER TO CRY ON”- A FRIEND THAT WE CAN COUNT ON WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE OR IN DEEP SADNESS.

11 DEAR MY STUDENTS, AFTER DISCUSSING ABOUT THE PHRASE “BEST FRIEND” I’D LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT “BEST FRIEND IN ISLAM”

12 LET’S FIGURE OUT TOGETHER WHAT’S “BEST FRIEND IN ISLAM”? 13 ACCORDING TO HADITS/THE SAYING OF OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD P.B.U.H/PEACE BE

UPON HIM THERE ARE THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF BEST FRIENDS

14 THE FIRST, A PERSON THAT WHEN YOU CLOSE TO HIM YOU REMEMBER ALLAH 15 THE SECOND, A PERSON THAT WHEN YOU CLOSE TO HIM YOU ARE ABLE TO ENRICH, ADD

OR ENHANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAM.

16 THE THIRD, A PERSON THAT WHEN YOU CLOSE TO HIM YOU REMEMBER AFTERLIFE/HERE AFTER/AKHERAT.

17 LAST BUT NOT LEAST , ONE ULEMA SAID THAT BEST FRIEND IS THE ONE WHO WARNS OR REMIND US WHEN WE FORGET ALLAH OR BEING IN MA’SYIAT/BAD DEEDS.

18 IN CONCLUSION, BEST FRIEND IN ISLAM IS BADLY NEEDED AND PLEASE CHOOSE THE ONE THAT INVITE AND BRING US TO ENTER PARADISE OR JANNAH

19 OK, THAT’S ALL, THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION
