What is the definition of friendship and how can a true and sincere friend be found?
Mohammqad Raeique Etetesame
This is an important issue of the present time, how to find the best friend?
Friends are of many types and friendship is also with many people, so every person naturally wants someone to be his friend.
Because the one who has no friend feels lonely and deserted. Therefore, he is always in search of a friend who is sincere, honest and selfless and is ready to sacrifice everything for the happiness of his friend.
And if by chance someone finds such a friend, he feels that a spring has come in his life, like buds sprout, flowers bloom and the colors of the rainbow scatter in the air.
But the question is, is it possible to find such a friend in this day and age? Although it is not impossible, it is certainly difficult because usually there are selfish friends who cut the roots of their friends and try to fulfill their own meaning, but in this selfish situation, there is also a true friend of man who stays with his servants forever.
He who is not seen but helps his friends and does good to them, who is powerful, has authority and knows how to fulfill his command.
Yes, this friend is Allah Almighty! Who is the owner and creator, the king of the universe and the true friend of man.
The Holy Quran states this, “Allah is the friend of the believers. He brings the young out of the darkness of disbelief into the light of guidance” (2.257). And he said, “Have they taken other friends besides Allah? Indeed, Allah is the protecting friend, He will give life to the dead, and He is capable of all things.” (Al-Shura: 09)
And He said, “If they turn away, then know that Allah is your Friend, the Great Protector, the Great Helper.” (Al-Anfal: 38).
The question is, what is the correct definition of friendship and who is called friendship? So a friend is someone who says that whatever I have is not mine but my friend's. Whenever and whatever my friend asks me for, I will immediately give it to him whenever he asks for it
.....
Yes, this is the real definition of friendship, but one thing is worth considering, that the limit of friendship is within the scope of reason and Sharia. The purpose of this is that the definition of friendship is that which is permitted by Sharia, that a friend will ask his friend for the same thing that Sharia and reason have permitted him. That is, if his friend is a rich man, then if the other friend is poor, then he should not say to him, "Give me this much money, brother," or if his friend is a single man, then he should not say to his friend, "Brother, give me your daughter or sister in marriage."
Therefore, the limit of friendship is within the scope of Sharia and reason.
Allah, the Exalted, the Almighty, who is a mighty ruler, the King, and has no partner. It is beyond the human intellect to estimate the power, might, and glory of Allah Almighty, His great authority, and His command over man, as Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “Say: O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom. You grant the kingdom to whomever You will and take it from whomever You will, and honor whomever You will and humiliate whomever You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are Able to do all things.” And He said: “He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (22) He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. The King, the Pure, the Giver of Peace, the Guardian, the Almighty, the Great. Exalted is He that they should not associate partners with Him. (23) He is Allah, the Creator. The Creation And the Inventor, the Maker of forms. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (The Gathering) 59:23
Despite the greatness, majesty, and power of Allah, the Almighty But before that, it is important to know that Allah, the Almighty, who is the true and sincere friend of man, then when a man will establish friendship with him, he must find out what his friend wants from him, what Allah, the Almighty, being the true friend of man, gives to his other friend, man, and what is not in him. But the surprising thing is that despite all these things, he does not have one thing and he demands it from man. This is a very surprising thing. Such a great king has everything but one thing that he does not have. What is it that man has but Allah does not have? Allah, the Almighty, has great power, strength, greatness and greatness. He has everything but one thing that man does not have. What is it that man has? It is humility, modesty, crying, grumbling, expressing his helplessness, helplessness and compulsion, and prostrating himself before Him, calling upon Him, and expressing that you are everything and I am nothing. I am not, if you want, everything will happen, if you want, If a person uses all these things to establish friendship with Allah, the Exalted, then He, that is, his friend, will grant him something that neither his eyes have seen nor his ears have heard of, nor has his mind even imagined these great blessings, namely a great and never-ending life, eternal and everlasting success, unlimited blessings, and everything that is beyond the reach of man. Allah says in the Holy Quran: Those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remain steadfast, the angels will descend upon them (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve, and of the Paradise which you were promised." It is worth noting that anyone who complains about not having a good friend is actually not a good friend himself.
