One of the most important aspects of human life is companionship and company (Suhbat & Sangat). The people we spend time with — our friends and environment — deeply shape our character, habits, and even our faith.

The Quran and Hadith repeatedly emphasize the importance of choosing righteous company and avoiding bad companionship. Interestingly, modern science also proves that friends and social environment strongly influence our thoughts, behavior, and even success.

In this video, we will try to understand this subject in the light of the Quran, Hadith, and scientific research.

📖 Evidence from the Quran:
Surah Al-Kahf (18:28)
Surah Al-Tawbah (9:119)
