In the name of Allah, and peace be upon our prophet Mohammad
Our dear teachers and our dear sisters,
Today ,We are happy for meeting you in our program.
We will start it with reading Quran

Humans have always been social creatures and in need of friends and companions. A good part of our lives is spent in interaction with others.
Now ( …… ) will read authentic Hadith about companions
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A person is likely to follow the faith of his friend, so look whom you befriend."
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ــــــــــــــ
Mixing with followers of any way other than that of the Guidance results in a change in one's behaviour, morals and conduct. and we meet different situations with our friends or with some of them, let us hear to one of them with (…..)
Many times a Muslim is encouraged by his friends to do evil and to forget his duties. The result is that Muslims themselves are often ashamed to leave them to perform prayer, their friends thus causing them to clearly deviate from the Right Path.
Instead of making friends with the misguided ones we should befriend the righteous but still treat everyone else in a gracious and just manner. Allah the Exalted says in the Qur'an: "Friends on that Day will be enemies one to another, except al-Muttaqoon)."
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ــــــــــــــ
In authentic narration of the Prophet (peace be upon him) we were commanded to keep company with a believer only, and told that a person will be with those he loves. So if we love and associate ourselves with those who are misguided, we should fear for our fate. The wise person is the one who prepares himself for the Hereafter, not the one who neglects his faith and falls into the trap of Satan who tells him that he will be forgiven and that he can do whatever he wishes.
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ــــــــــــــ
If we truly believe that the best speech is the Speech of Allah and that the best guidance is the guidance of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we should act in accordance with them, lest we build a proof against ourselves.
From another perspective, a “believer is the mirror of his brother,” and if he sees any faults in the other believer, he draws his attention to it in an acceptable manner, helps him to give it up and to wipe away any evil that he may have.

Finally, We ask Allah to make us of the righteous ones and give us companions who will take us away from His wrath and lead us to His pleasure and Paradise .
