In Arabic, there are 12 levels of friendship. Most of our 'friends' are level 5 or below, and many of us don't have a single level 12 friend 🤯

Here are the levels:

1. Zameel - someone you have a nodding acquaintance with

⬇️
2. Jalees - someone you’re comfortable sitting with for a period of time

3. Sameer - you have good conversation with them

…this is where things get serious

4. Nadeem - a drinking companion (just tea) that you might call when you’re free
5. Sahib - someone who’s concerned for your wellbeing

… now we’re in the real ranks of friendship

6. Rafeeq - someone you can depend upon. You’d probably go on holiday with them
7. Sadeeq - a true friend, someone who doesn’t befriend you for an ulterior motive

8. Khaleel - an intimate friend, someone whose presence makes you happy

9. Anees - someone with whom you’re really comfortable and familiar
10. Najiyy - a confidant, someone you trust deeply

11. Safiyy - your best friend, someone you’ve chosen over other friends

12. Qareen - someone who’s inseparable from you. You know how they think (and vice versa)

Reading tough books is a skill that everyone can master

Instead of starting from page one, use this 7 step process to quickly understand a book’s message

⬇️

1. Read the table of contents

This is a map of the book. It shows you the overall structure and gives you.. (1/7)
…a sense of where the book is going

2. Scan the index

Pay attention to the number of times a term is referenced in the index - this will help you identify the crucial terms. Look up some of the cited passages - these might contain the crux of the book
3. Read the introduction

Towards the end of the introduction, the author usually lays out the main points of the book and how they flow together
