In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

	Equality of Believers
[Quran 4:69] Those who obey GOD and the messenger belong with those blessed by GOD―the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. These are the best company.


In this life, as teens grow up and venture beyond family, friends become very important. Sometimes this leads to getting caught up in the "wrong crowd", succumbing to peer pressure and making unwise choices.

But if we listen to God, then we get to be with the "right crowd" who invite to what is good, advocate righteousness, and forbid evil (Quran 3:104).

Making the right friends is so important in this world that people may spend a lifetime trying to be part of elite company. In contrast, God blesses anyone who lives a righteous life to be in the "best company". You get to have saints, martyrs and the righteous as peers. Imagine being eternal friends with the best people who have ever walked the earth!

Who would we rather have for company?
