The Holy Prophet is reported to have said: The essence  of the faith is to wish well for others. This means that we ought to be  trying for good of our fellow human beings in all matters. It is the  demand of being merely a member of the Muslim community. Generally we  are more closely related with our friends and family. The basic  requirements of friendship and relation entail that we should be worried  about our relations as we do for ourselves.  Therefore I would  recommend that you should keep encouraging your friends to follow the  path of righteousness and keep steadfast and pray for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-26<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6694\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I pray for friends to Allah, so that Allah give them mercy and clear their mind?<\/p>\n<p>Is there any Qur\u2019\u0101nic verse in that reference? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1177],"tags":[1197,2518,1196,1953,1978],"class_list":["post-6694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islamic-customs","tag-dua","tag-friend","tag-supplications","tag-wazifa","tag-wazifah"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
