Hello friends how are you all? Hope you all are very well, I am also very well with your prayers and God's grace.

There are about seven billion people in today's world, each person is different. Just as every person does not look the same, their character and traits are not the same. No one thinks himself great even though he is wise, while many people think themselves great even though they are stupid.

The greatest gift to man in this world is knowledge, and the smallest and worst gift is folly. Wise people are often saved from great dangers because of their knowledge, while many foolish people fall into many dangers because of their stupidity.

For this reason, in choosing a friend, a wise person should be chosen, because a wise person can save you from danger because of his knowledge, but a foolish person will often harm you while doing good.

A small example will give a better understanding of this. A foolish man heard a saying of Sheikh Saadi (R.A.) that if a friend is in danger, "one should hold the hand of a friend in danger". After hearing this he thought to himself that from now on he would always do favors to his friends.

One day another guy started fighting with one of his friends, the other guy started beating his friend, now this stupid guy went and held his friend by both hands. The other man was so happy he thought better of this stupid man's friend and left.

When the man left, the foolish man let go of his friend's hand. His friend is angry, he said, what did you do? The foolish man said, "Why did I act on the words of Sheikh Saadi (RA), did you not listen to him?" He said "hold a friend's hand in danger" for I was holding both your hands.

Then his friend said, "O fool, this holding of hands means to help, to help, not to endanger by holding hands." Then the foolish man understood. There are many more such incidents, which we all know.

We should become wise by acquiring knowledge ourselves and keep friendship with other wise people.

Thanks everyone for reading my post today.
