Every child has that time in his or her life when they meet new friends. This friendship can last for a long time which turns it into a brotherhood/sisterhood relationship. This relationship has the capability of being stronger than family ties, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) states “A friend is closer than relatives.”
Yet we as parents and the people who are expected to raise our children sometimes forget the importance of this fact and how it affects the child’s upbringing. The reason behind its importance is that friends affects one’s behaviors.
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) said “Man is on the same religion as his friend so perceive who you befriend.”
Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) stated “Do not judge a man until you see who his friends are, for man is known by his kind and by his companions.”
What makes this even more important is that children will be affected faster and stronger because they are like how Imam Ali (peace be upon him) stated “The heart of a young man is like empty land which accept anything that is strewn on it.
Therefore, it is important to be caution and aware of whom our children befriend and to instruct them in good discipline before their hearts harden and their minds are occupied. Keep in mind that friendship with good friends is highly valued by the prophet and his progeny (peace be upon them) in a way that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) stated “A reliable friend is a blessing”
