The day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands<\/p>\n
Life, in the shade of the Islamic Creed, has taught me<\/p>\n
that your friend takes you wherever he goes and that both of you are very similar<\/p>\n
And people are like birds; doves flock together, ravens flock together, and it\u2019s the same with chicken, eagles, and falcons \u2026each with its flock-mates<\/p>\n
And birds of feather flock together<\/p>\n
And a friend follows his friend’s religion<\/p>\n
So, avoid bad friends as if they were lions!<\/p>\n
They are like contagious infectious diseases. If you befriend and follow them, they will lead you to Hellfire<\/p>\n
And before Allah, they will be an enemy to you<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cFriends on that day will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.\u201d <\/strong>(Al-Zukhruf 43:67)<\/p>\n This is `Uqbah ibn Abu Mu`ayt who lived in Makkah together with the Prophet (peace be upon him), he never caused trouble to him.<\/p>\n though `Uqbah was an unbeliever, while the rest of Quraysh, whenever they saw the Prophet, they hurt him<\/p>\n And there was an unbeliever friend to `Uqbah ibn Abu Mu`ayt who was abroad in Ash-Sham<\/p>\n They thought, because of his good treatment to the Prophet, that `Uqbah has converted to Islam<\/p>\n When his friend came back from Ash-Sham, he said to him, \u201cHere\u2019s your friend ibn Abu Mu`ayt has become Muslim!<\/p>\n He flew into a rage, refusing to talk to `Uqbah<\/p>\n or greet him until he hurts the Prophet (peace be upon him)<\/p>\n `Uqbah agreed and already hurt the Prophet (peace be upon him)<\/p>\n He once tried to strangle him with his own clothes<\/p>\n At another time, he spat on his honorable face, to become \u2013 at this moment- the meanest, most despicable person on the planet<\/p>\n And his end was he was one of the idolaters who were killed at Badr<\/p>\n About him and his likes, Allah revealed:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Day that the wrong-doer will bite at his hands, he will say, “Oh! would that I had taken a path with the Messenger! <\/strong>Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend. He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Satan is but a traitor to man!\u201d<\/strong> (Al-Furqan<\/a> 25:27-29)<\/p>\n Better be alone than to join a bad company. They are like contagious infectious diseases<\/p>\nOh, Woe to Me!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
