Allah’s messenger Ibraheem a.s., was blessed with the title Allah’s friend, that is the friend of the Mercifull - Halilur- Rahman, thus he was blessed for the numerous virtues that he had, like: piety, obedience, generosity, justice, compassion, patience, etc. Allah Te’ala’s messenger Muhammed s.w.s., relates friendship to the faith of a man, thus he said: "man is of the same faith as is his close friend, so be watchful whom you choose as a close friend.”(Ahmed, Ebu-Davud,Tirmizi from Ebu-Hureyra)
