@calmedbydeen: These three peaches were identical on day one. 💛 Same plate, same light. By Day 3 one is glowing and ripe, the other two are going grey. By Day 8 two are unrecognisable and the third is still just a peach. Nothing on that plate is safe. Everything on it is on a timer. And the Qur'an puts friendship on the same plate: "Close friends will be enemies to one another on that Day, except the righteous." (Qur'an 43:67) The thing you thought was permanent spoils like everything else — unless it was built on something that doesn't. Then it names the exception: "There is no fear for you Today, nor will you grieve." (43:68) … "And you will be there forever." (43:71) There forever. No counter in the corner. Nothing rotting at the edge of the frame. If a friendship is going grey and you can't tell what you did wrong — maybe nothing. The bonds that last are the ones pointed at Him. Which of your friendships is built on something that doesn't spoil? #islam #companionship #tawakkul #islamicreminders #fyp
