‘Once a man came to the Messenger of Allah -saww and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah -saww , I love people who perform Salat, but I do not perform it, I love people who fast, but I do not fast’. The Messenger of Allah -saww said: ‘You are with those whom you love and to you belongs what you have earned’. The Messenger of Allah -saww has said: What you are seeking to find is where you will arrive’.

‘(Imam -asws said): ‘It is certain that if a shocking thing may come from the sky every people will seek protection in their safe places, and we -asws seek protection with our Holy Prophet -saww , and you will seek protection with us -asws .

“He -as said:” O’ my Lord -azwj ! I -as prayed, fasted, gave charity for You -azwj and I am frequently in remembering You -azwj .” Allah -azwj the Almighty Said: “But praying was a light to guide you -as in your -as path, fasting was an armour against the Fire, charity was a shade, alms was light, and your remembrance of Me -azwj was (to secure) Heavenly palaces for you.

However, what have you done for Me -azwj ?” Moses -as asked: “Please advise me on what I can do for just for You -azwj .” Allah -azwj the Almighty Replied: “O’ Musa -as ! Have you -as ever made friends with anyone just for Me -azwj ?” Musa -as then realized that the best thing to do is to make friends in the way of Allah -azwj , and to be enemy of some people in the way of Allah -azwj .
