Friendship
Friendship is a human instinct between two persons not bound by any relationship. It is one of the greatest blessings of Allah to man. It is a relationship which is based on the union of same-minded persons. It adds to our joy in prosperity and helps to relieve our miseries in adversity. Our friends share with us the joys of our success. In our misfortune, they are with us and try to diminish our grief in various ways. It is a friendship that sometimes springs from the mental esteem and from our long attachment. The attribute of friendship is very old since the creation of human beings. Many good things can be done if there is a friendship between two persons. However, loyalty to friends is an essential quality of true friendship.
