Learning Goals » ​They are encouraged to learn with and alongside others

Mariam, it is really nice to see that you

enjoy your friendship with Mays. Through
this friendship, you have develop your
social skills, and your communication
skills. You were able communicate what
you want to Mays, asking her for help
and treating her nicely by share toys with
her and include her in your play.
You were able to have positive
conversation with Mays using soft voice,
and nice words.

The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬reminds us of the

importance of good company in this
hadith(​ record of the Prophet ‫)ﷺ‬: “A
good friend and a bad friend are like a
perfume-seller and a blacksmith: The
perfume-seller might give you some
perfume as a gift, or you might buy some
from him, or at least you might smell its
fragrance. As for the blacksmith, he might
singe your clothes, and at the very least
you will breathe in the fumes of the
furnace.” [Bukhari, Muslim]

From this hadith it shows that by having

good friends it will also benefit us. It will
put our heart at ease and provide
encouragement for us to do good deeds.
May your friendship with Mays last and
continue to bloom. I hope that you will
learn through your friendship with Mays
and continue to develop your social skills
and communication skills.
