FRIDAY NUGGET- BY SAKEENAH'WRITES

The noble prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone."

"It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words." 

Dear brethren, it is an undisputable fact that today, one of the major reasons why many youths and teenagers today have fallen prey to the sneers of negative influence and destructive ways of life is because, they surround themselves with toxic and negative people who have little or nothing to offer to their self-growth, productivity, Deen or moral well-being,

and when they are meant to be seated amongst productive, spiritually and morally sound minds, they sit alone, house and nurture negative thoughts in their mind until it becomes an unstoppable destructive habit. Subhanallah!

Still, I believe that if only our youths of today can ponder sincerely on and adhere tenaciously to this piece of advice, maybe cyber fraud, kidnapping, prostitution, pornography, drug addiction, money ritual, corruption, and other notorious heinous crimes will not be thriving in the society we find ourselves in today.
