Friendship in the Quran & Sunnah

Alhamdulilah, I'm so happy !

MY BEST FRIEND IS COMING TO TORONTO FOR THE WKND!

& sighh I miss her alot, she goes to a school outside of Toronto.

So seeing her is random here and there since it's midterms now & everyones focused.

But nevertheless it's a wonderful surprise, a sister to me, my other half in every situation & she always keeps me grounded.

Good Friends Are Hard To Find.

A good and a bad companion are like the bearer of musk and the one who pumps out filth respectively.
