Such a person would be PERFECT. Sadly there is no perfection. We are ALL sinners at the mercy of our Glorious Allaah swt

No

You should look for friends that will help you tighten your bond with Allah.

True. That's why I asked the people if they have a friend with "some" of the characteristics mentioned above.

I like friends who pray at least Salat. I find that Humans by nature have a disease heart. I tend to limit my friends. 1 or zero will be good.

Does that mean you have "1 to zero friends" lol @Basra are you an introvert?!

Yes she is, I can sense it.

Her Sspot persona seem to be very outspoken and fun to be with.

Adorable Introvert!

 

[Karim]

Adorable Introvert!

I prefer introverts more than extroverts. Introverts are trustworthy and down to earth most of the time while extroverts have narcissistic traits that makes them very unlikeable and prone to hate.

I met someone like that in University.
She was Somali, a mother, top student and part-time dugsi teacher that didn't watch TV. She had a very supportive husband, too. I met her in a class, definitely someone that would bring you closer to the Deen, very compassionate and close to Ilahi judging by her manner. I love authentic people. And I know sincerity when I see it.

Alas, I didn't see her around the following year. You have to be around someone of that calibre enough to render the benefits of their presence but at least they set an amazing precedent of what's possible especially in the pluralistic west (where there are so many forces competing for a piece of your mental real estate).

Some people cross your path as an example.

Have at least tried to be as good and God loving as her?! Maybe she was a sign from almighty God to show you the level of piousness needed from you.

No. :siilaanyolaugh: So, having a female classmate that's a friend, makes you gay?

@Basra, you need to stop your Island of Lesbos fanfiction where everyone is qanis, or infected with a 1980s veneral killer aka your somnet tropes.

Not out of no where huuno. I usually listen to people when they talk. (or in this case typing) …….when I listen to people, I listen very well.
