Very concept of friction itself is to oppose motion. Hence, frictional force is always directed in the direction opposite to that to motion. When motion I mean, relative motion.

Dear Gulshan, the purpose of friction is to stop the motion of body, so in order to achieve that it acts opposite to the direction of motion of body at any instant. Also it appears only when body is moving or about to (when force is applied).

Physics becomes quite easy when the curiosity and interest is invoked.

It's always opposite the direction of the motion or tendency of motion.

If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body?
The magnitude of velocity shall decrease and direction shall be same till it comes to rest, afterwards it shall move in direction of force with acceleration due to the applied force.
