1-"Allah's friends" are those true Muslims whom He loves and who love
Him. 2-They are all the righteous Muslims who truly believe in Allah and
constantly follow His commands.
3-Their reward is a good life in this world , and
nearness to Allah in the Hereafter , in His Paradise.
4-However, they cannot
do anything to help anybody after their death, no in their life except through
normal reasons. 5-Allah (Glory be to Him)says of them: "Behold!
Verily on "friends of Allah" there is no fear, Nor shall they grieve. Those who
believe and constantly guard against evil.
For them are Glad Tidings in this
life and in the Hereafter; No change can there be in the worlds of Allah, This
is indeed the supreme felicity." {Al-Qur'an 10:62-64}
6-Therefore, be agood
Muslim and you will be one of them.

"Those who obey Allah and the Messenger (of Him) Are with those who are blessed
by Allah, Of the Prophets. the (Sincere) believers, the Martyrs and righteous
(doers of good). And how excellent a company are they! {Al-Qur'an
4:69} 8-On top of "Allah's Friend" are His Noble
Prophets. 9-And among them too are the true and sincere followers of
Prophets. 10-And Prophet Mohammed's companions and wives (Mothers of the
Faithful). 11-The best of his companions are the Ten who were mentioned by name by
Prophet Mohammed -Salla 'Allahu alaihi wasallam- as those who will be in
paradise. 12-These chozen companions are dstinguished and known for their
precedence, firmness and sacrifice in Islam.
