๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Five qualities if found in some individuals would prevent them from being "friendworthy" - they do not deserve your trust and loyalty:
1❎ Jealous / envious.
Deep conversations and meaningful connections are impossible to have with those who intensely envy everything about you. You can sense that an acquaintance envies you when they mostly treat you disrespectfully and deliberately exclude you from social gatherings which they initiate, desperate to upset you whenever possible so their disconcerting jealousy overwhelms them less.
2❎ Ignorant / delusional.
You can't form a stable friendship with someone who insists on doing what's illogical or they see nothing wrong with commiting crimes and acts of bid'ah (religious innovation such as pointlessly participating in birthday celebrations and sculpting or sketching images of living beings etc.).
3❎ Cowardly / insecure.
Don't expect an inwardly sad person who frequently acts passive-aggressive towards you and feels so afraid or ashamed to discuss with you serious issues to be reliable. They're likely to abandon you in the future when they notice you in any sort of trouble.
4❎ Egotistic / narcissistic.
Long-lasting friendship, support, genuine respect, integrity and reliability can never be expected from somebody who is a lot more obsessed with their wants and overinflated ego than they're concerned with your faith Imaan, safety and overall well-being.
5❎ Untruthful / deceitful / fake / inauthentic / phoney.
Why waste your lifetime, attention and energy on clowns who regularly invent lies to impress themselves, too often pretend to be whom they aren't, and even the most deceptive of counterfeit products and forged documents worldwide would be less pathetic than the fables they make up for their selfish agenda.
