Concept of friendship in Islam

Hazrat Muhammad(S.A.W) Says

Your friendship should be for Allah
Your enimty should be for Allah
If you give that should be for Allah
If you avoid to give some thing that

. should also be for Allah.

Concept of friendship in Islam

Hazrat Ali (r.a) Says : The poor is one who does not
have any friend..

Hazrat Ali (r.a) Says : He who helps you in your time of

trouble is your brother

Hazrat Ali (r.a) Says : Do not choose as your friend the

enemy of your friend.
Friendship between Men and women

There are never perfect friendship between

men and women.

Women's are more talkative then men.

They don't completely share their secrets.

A good friend may turn into a lousy lover.

Allah, the Almighty said,

Say to the believing men to lower their

gazes and guard their chastity… And say
to the believing women to lower their
gazes and guard their chastity and not to
display their charms in public .(An-Nur
24: 30-31)
Difference Between love and
friendship
In love person love with only one but in
friendship a person may have more
then one friend.
you love may be any one at first sight
but you don’t make long term friend at
first sight.
In love there is involvement of sexual
desire(physical element) in friendship
without such desire.
True Friendship
when found is a blessing and should
be cherished
is genuine care and concern
not fake, not fraudulent, not betrayal
is maintained in trust
True Friendship
“A man who has friends must himself
be friendly, But there is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother.”
(Proverbs 18:24)
Kinds of friendship
Friendship based on utility

Friendship based on pleasure

Perfect friendship based on

goodness.
The recipe of friendship :
1 cup of sharing
2 cups of caring
1 cup of forgiveness and
hugs of tenderness
Mix all these together… ..
to make friends forever.
Wise Friendship

A Good Friend:
I. Encourages Goodliness Keeps
Confidence
II. Respects Space
III. Gives Honest Counsel
IV. Can Be Relied Upon
Losing a Friend
If you lie to a friend you
may lose them as a
friend.
Telling a friends secret
my cause you to lose a
friend.
Not helping a friend
when they need you
can also cause you to
loose them as a friend.
False Friendship (parasitic)

ignores “inner characteristics”

consumed with “external qualities”
seeks to befriend wealth
seeks to befriend power
seeks to befriend popularity
when the wealth, power, gift is gone
or not useful. . .the friendship fades
 ONSTRUCTIVE
RITICISM

a lot of friendships seek not

this“C”
“friends don’t judge friends”
BUT: true friendship can
handle “constructive criticism”
true friendship respects
“constructive criticism”
 ONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

“destructive” criticism has

the purpose of “destroying” its
target
some enjoy this
The Value of Having a True
Friend
Two are better than one, Because they have
a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For
he has no one to help him up.
Though one may be overpowered by another,
two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is
not quickly broken.
*Conclusions*
"There is nothing on this earth to be
prized more than true friendship."
~ St. Thomas Aquinas
Ibn Hazm said: “Anyone who
criticises you cares about your
friendship. Anyone who makes light of
your faults cares nothing about you.”
