Virtues and Lessons From Surah Al Kahf
"It's been a weekly routine for us to recite Surah Kahf every Friday, right? and we do it in most of the
Fridays.
Now, have you ever wondered why Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked us to recite Surah Kahf every
Friday?
Or is there any preference for this surah over the rest 113 surahs? What's the benefit of reciting this
weekly?
First of all, in this Surah Allah gives to us 4 different, but INTERESTING stories!
Let's explore each along with the lessons we get from each of them....
It’s the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving town, so they decide to migrate for the sake of
Allah and run away. Allah rewards them with mercy in the cave and protection from the elements of
nature.
The lesson of this story is the 'Trial of Faith'❗
A story of a man whom Allah blessed with two beautiful gardens, but the man forgot to thank the One
who blessed him with everything and he even dared to doubt Allah regarding the afterlife. So his
garden was destroyed – he regretted it, but was too late and his regret did not benefit him.
When Musa (as)was asked “Who is the most knowledgeable of the people of Earth?” Musa (as) said
that it was him as he assumed he was the only prophet on Earth at the time. But Allah revealed to him
that there’s someone who knows more than him about certain things. Musa (as)traveled looking for
him and learned how divine wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.
🔘4. "Dhul-Qarnayne"
Allah mentions the story of a great king who was given knowledge and power travelling the world
helping people and spreading all that’s good. He was able to overcome the problem of Yajooj-Majooj
by building a massive dam with the help of people whom he could not even understand.
ALLAH says to us 4 kind of stories relating 4 kind of trials that WE ALL pass by in our day to day lives!
Now have a look through HADITHS to learn more about this surah....
🔖In many hadiths, the messenger of Allah (pbuh) mentions that the one who reads and memorises
verses of Surah Al Kahf will be protected from the trials of the Dajjal!
🔘A) He will ask people to worship him and not Allah: Trial of faith!
🔘😎 He will be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt people with his wealth:
Trial of with wealth!
🔘C) He will tempt people with "knowledge” and news he gives them: Trial of knowledge!
