The twentieth hadith informs us that a person follow’s the same way as their close companions, so one should pay close attention to who they choose as close companions. In the twenty-first hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advises believers to no keep close companionship except with a believers and those who are God conscious. Finally, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues the text, “Letter to a Disciple” by Imam Ghazali, where he highlights having high aspirations for the afterlife, and preparing for it.
