| While it is important what a person say and believe, it is even more important that the belief or more rightly the Declaration of Belief or faith is followed by actions. There is a constant monologue and admonition in Holy Qur'an to those who 'have faith' and 'do good deeds.' One cannot be saved by declaring faith alone, but faith must be followed by conscious doing of good deeds, for it is these conscious good deeds by which the faithful will ultimately be judged. Clearly there is a distinction between faith, belief or conviction and deeds, as Allah, azza wa jal, repeatedly says in Holy Qur'an that the best are those who 'believe' AND do good 'deeds.' "If any do deeds of righteousness,- be they male or female - and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them" 4: 124 God makes clear in the Holy Qur'an who the 'real' friend of the Muslim is and then having said who the real friend is goes on the describe 'how to tell' who the real friend is by what the real friend "does:" "Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers,- those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship).

Friendship is sometime expanding and sometime retractable, agreeable and sometime disagreeable, but when disagreeable friends should disagree agreeably, for as Muslim we have so much in common, and friendship is or should be a healthy thing, so let us keep it good, healthy, safe and above all, keep it Islamic.
