CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY

If we were to mentally survey our friends, relatives and who we commonly associate with, how many of them keep us simply 'plugged-into' and focused on the 'Duniya' (world, temporal existence)? How many of them are oriented towards keeping us focused on another goal, our salvation in the 'Akhirat' (Hereafter)?

"And the believing men and the believing women are friends / allies / protectors (awliyaa) of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong..."

We should really know our friends, relatives and who we associate with.
