163 – Keeping Good Company
Holy Quran states: ‘O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with the truthful’. The Promised Messiah (peace be on him) writes about man in ‘The Philosophy of The Teachings of Islam’ ‘…through following a true religion and keeping good company and conforming good teachings, he converts natural impulses into moral qualities.’ We discuss why it is important to keep good company and how to maintain this high standard of making friends in a society where particularly within the youth, one can see movement away from God.
