The Richest Relationship
سچے دوستوں کی کمی
أَعْجَزُ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ اكْتِسَابِ الْإِخْوَانِ، وَأَعْجَزُ مِنْهُ مَنْ ضَيَّعَ مَنْ ظَفِرَ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ.
سب سے زیادہ عاجز (بے بس) وہ شخص ہے جو دوست بنانے میں ناکام رہے، اور اس سے بھی زیادہ عاجز وہ ہے جو بنے بنائے دوستوں کو بھی کھو دے۔
“The most helpless of people is the one who is unable to gain friends, and even more helpless is the one who loses those friends he has already gained.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ emphasizes the spiritual and social value of companionship. Humans are social beings, and our strength lies in our community. A person who cannot attract others through good character is weak, but a person who lacks the patience and loyalty to keep their friends is even weaker. It is a reminder that keeping a heart is harder—and more rewarding—than winning it.
