Understanding the Friend Role

Friendship in Islam is so important. It’s influence. It’s deep companionship. It’s a spiritual investment. The Prophet ﷺ taught that a person is upon the religion of their close friend, and that souls are naturally drawn to one another.

In this course, we explore how to build, maintain, and protect friendships that are grounded in sincerity, trust, and remembrance of Allah.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your current friendships, seeking better company, or healing from difficult experiences, this section is here to guide you. You’ll learn how to be a friend of Ihsaan: one who uplifts, guards trust, avoids harm, and walks beside others toward Jannah — never away from it.
