Reminder: Appreciate Great Friends!
Human beings are accustomed to living a social life. We maintain relationships with those who we can share our good and bad days with. Friends are indeed a blessing of Allaah ta’ala, and above all are those friends who understand you when you are unable to understand or articulate yourself. These relationships can sometimes surpass the blood ones making us realize that relations are not just tied by blood, there’s much more to it. There are friends with whom you’re able to pour your heart out and not gain a sense of loss in doing so, or when a friend lends her shoulder to you, you forget all the weight of thoughts you have been carrying all by yourself for a while.
With time, we realize that friends aren’t just those with whom we can hang out, or shop, or eat with, but those who are there for us when everyone else is too busy or too bored to listen to our rants. You believe in their sincerity with all your heart and mind. You expect from them a positive, yet eye opening, response and here you go. True friends who can point out your mistakes and pat your back to move on are the biggest favour one can ask for in this world. If you have any of these friends around, take a break from your chores and thank them for their tireless services they have been offering. Tell them how significant they are to you and what they mean in your life.
