The Forbidden Days to Fast, prohibited to single out Friday as a day of<br />

fasting<br />

The day of Friday is a kind of weekly 'id for Muslims and, therefore, it is prohibited to fast on that day. Most scholars say that<br />

this prohibition is one of dislike,9 not one of complete forbiddance.<br />

If one fasts on the day before or after it, or if it is a day that one customarily fasts on (for example, the 13th, 14th, or 15th of<br />

the month), or if it is the day of 'Arafah or 'Ashurah, then it is not disliked to fast on such a Friday.<br />

FRIENDS:<br />

3:28 - Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers; if any do<br />

that in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution that ye may guard<br />

yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (to remember) Himself for the final goal is to<br />

Allah. 373<br />

373 If Faith is a fundamental matter in our lives our associations and friendships will naturally be with those who share our<br />

Faith. "Evil communications corrupt good manners": and evil company may corrupt Faith. In our ordinary every-day<br />

affairs of business, we are asked to seek the help of Believers rather than Unbelievers. Only in this way can our<br />

community be strong in organisation and unity. But where there is no question of preference, or where in self-defence<br />

we have to take the assistance of those not belonging to our Faith, that is permissible. In any case we must not<br />

weaken our Brotherhood: we must try to make it stronger if possible. (3.28)<br />

4:139 - Yea to those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honor they seek<br />

among them? Nay all honor is with Allah. 648<br />

648 If the motive is some advantage, some honour,-the fountain of all good is Allah. How can it really be expected from<br />

those who deny Faith? And if there is some show of worldly honour, what is it worth against the contempt they earn in<br />

the next world? (4.139)<br />

4:144 - O ye who believe! take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: do ye wish to offer<br />

Allah an open proof against yourselves?.<br />

5:51 - O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they<br />

are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for<br />

friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. 764<br />

764 That is, look not to them for help and comfort. They are more likely to combine against you than to help you. And this<br />

happened more than once in the lifetime of the Prophet, and in after-ages again and again. He who associates with<br />

them and shares their counsels must be counted as of them. The trimmer loses whichever way the wheel of fortune<br />

turns. (5.51)<br />

5:56 - As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah His Apostle and the (fellowship of) believers it is<br />

the fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph.<br />

5:55 - Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah His Apostle and the (fellowship of) believers those<br />

who establish regular prayers and regular charity and they bow down humbly (in worship).<br />
