What should I do: Should I tell my friends that I apologized to those they quarreled with and ask them to do the same, or should I remain silent? And am I sinful for not urging them to seek forgiveness out of fear of severing the relationship?

It is permissible for you to advise your friends to apologize or to forgive, and be mindful of the 's recommendation to reconcile between them, and informing them that doing good in this has a benefit. The basic principle regarding advising Muslims is that it is a communal obligation (fard kifaayah), due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Religion is sincere advice," and Jarir's statement: "I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to establish prayer, pay , and offer sincere advice to every Muslim."
