We
have a friend, highly sincere and obsequious. His heart is kindled with love
and we too realize his warmth. When we feel secluded, his memories add colour
to our life and when we fall sick he concern to us, induces us to make our life
denova. When we are entangled in some problem, he salvages us from it. When
this our friend is certified by some one, it comes very heavy to us. In a
nutshell, when a person is certified within his personal limits, it is
remissible, but when a friend is thrashed orally, it is quite intolerable.
The
hearts of the friends of Allah are the burning lamps of sincerity, sacrifice,
love and affection. They are such friends of Allah and His Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
who are loved by Allah and His Prophet (P.B.U.H.). The Prophet has
categorically said that the enemy of the friends of Allah are the enemy of
Allah and His Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said : who has hostile attitude towards the friends of
Allah, he defies him for a war. Verily Allah likes the devout, pious and
unnoticed persons who are not mentioned if they disappeared and not addressed
by any one if they appeared, though their hearts are the beacons of the
guidance.
Another
tradition says:
"Seek me in your weaker section because you
are not provided and supported but due to your weaker section."
This
means : The poorer are my friends and I enjoy their company, and you are
provided with the bounties of Allah due to them.
Once
some Arab Dignitaries made representation to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) to drive
away the wretched SUFFAH occupants, so that, they come to him ' with no
hesitation ' to learn something. Because the Allah is omniscient, He knew this
proposal and ordered the Prophet not to comply with their suggestions:
"( O Muhammad) Don't drive away those who
call their Lord day and night. seeking His pleasure. You have nothing to do
with their account and they have nothing to do with your account, so you drive
them away and be counted among wrong-goers."
The
point of consideration is that : had the Prophet agreed to remove the poorer
occasionally, the dignitaries could have embraced Islam, but Allah did not like
the insult and derogation of His friends.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
