And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect
Quran 18:28 · Surah Al-Kahf

A person is on the religion of his close friend, so let each of you look at whom he befriends.
