How can someone who dislikes friendship be convinced of its benefits, citing stories or Prophetic narrations?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Any relationship between two people that is not for the sake of Allah will not last, but will instead turn into enmity on the Day of Resurrection. Allah, the Almighty, says: "Close friends on that Day will be foes to one another, except for the righteous." (Surat Az-Zukhruf, 43:67). The relationship that pleases Allah is brotherhood and love for His sake. To convince someone of this relationship, one must inform them of the virtue and fruits of love for Allah's sake.
