I haven't been a good one lately...please forgive me Sha! :(

A friend is...
someone who doesn't put you down
someone who you can trust when they're not around
someone who gives you advice even if you don't want to hear it but you know its good for you
someone who loves you for the sake of Allah
someone who does things with no intention of getting anything in return except reward from Allah

and when you're around them, you just feel at peace even when you're not saying anything.

Every friendship begins with a likenging of eachother and usually with a lot of laughs,yet from here to call somebody a true friend the road is long and sometimes very hard to go through,yet if one is constant and has a true wish to be a good friend...then it's all so worth it.
However,I also think that some peole,even though they are great and all,are meant to be in our lives just for a period and not till the end.We evolve,so we meet different people...of course there are the special ones who are meant to be with us for always :).

Jasmina, Emma and khawla thank you for your comments. Jasmina, you're right, friends don't always stay in our lives but God did bring them in our lives for a reason. And we can learn a lot from friends, even the not so good ones. At the end of the day, we always find out who our true friends are eventually =)

I personally believe mutual respect is an important aspect of any true friendship. You have to treat others the way you want to be treated.
