There is a friendship between man and his Creator. Allah the Almighty’s friends are called saints or holy people. These are people that devote all their lives, and bodily and spiritual assets to Allah. Some of them even avoided marriage so that their hearts were not divided.

“You told all your secrets to that friend of yours. What if he intends to speak ill of you and discloses them to the public?” one man asked another. That man replied:

“If that friend of mine speaks ill of me and discloses my secrets to the public, then life would be meaningless for me. It wouldn’t be worth living then. For that friend of mine is the meaning of life for me.”
