The Benefits Of Surah Al Kahf

[Akhi_Umar]

:sl:

Reciting this Surah on Friday.

“Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.”

[Narrated by al-Haakim; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 836]

Memorising the first or last ten ayaats of this Surah.

Abu Darda' reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:
"If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal."

[Sahih Muslim: 809]

From Ahmad, Muslim, An-Nisaa'ie, and Ibn Habban -- that Abu Darda' said the Messenger of Allah :saw: said, "Whoever reads the last 10 ayat from Suratul Kahf, he will be immune from the fitnah (corruption) of the Dajjal."

Abu Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) related that the Holy Prophet :saw: said, " One who memorized the first ten verses of Suratul Kahf will be secure against the Dajjal (Anti-Christ). Another version says: "One who commits to his memory the last 10 verses of this surah will remain immune from the Dajjal."

[Muslim]

May Allah swt protect us from the fitnah of the dajjal, and may He keep us on the straight path, Ameen.

[*Yasmin*]

may Allah reward you for the reminder.

Amin for the duaa...

[abs]

Ameen, jazakallah brother!

JazakAllah khayr for the reminder akhi,


Which reminded me as well, sa'at al istijabah in the last hour before maghrib. :)

Jâbir (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet Sall Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: “Friday is comprised of twelve hours. There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the last hour after `Asr.”

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

People who have not yet memorised Soorah al-Kahf should try to do so, In Shaa Allaah.

An easy way to do this is to listen to the Qiraa'ah of Soorah al-Kahf every Friday by your favourite Qaari' (Huzaifi, Shuraim, `Ali Jaabir, Ghaamidi, etc.) For the drivers: Play the Qiraa'ah of Soorah al-Kahf on a Friday while you're driving. In a very short time you'll memorise it, In Shaa Allaah.

It is said that we should read Surah al-Kahf on Fridays. Do we receive the same benefit reciting it from memorization as we do in reading it?

There is great reward and benefit in reciting it on Fridays, but there is even greater reward and benefit in memorising it, In Shaa Allaah. Memorising any part of the Qur'aan brings with it immense rewards and blessings. Whoever is able to memorise any part of the Qur'aan should try to do so.

assalamu alekum

Surah Kahf is the 18th surah of the Quran with 110 ayats.It is named Suratul Kahf because of the miraculous divine story in it, the wondrous, strange story of the Companions of the Cave.
It is a Meccan surah and it was revealed to the prophet(SAW). This surah brings us three inspiring and impressive Qur'anic stories, by way of or for the purpose of confirming its basic purpose of extablishing the correct Aqeedah (Islamic beliefs) and faith in the greatness of the Lord, Full of Majest and Honor.
As for the first story, it is the story of 'As-haabul Kahf -- the Companions of the Cave, a story which clarifies Islamic beliefs, a story about several believing youths who flea their country for the sake of their religion and take refuge in a mountain cave, then remain there asleep for 309 years. Then Allah reawakens them after this lengthy period.
The second story is the story of the Prophet Musa ~ ~ with Al-Khidr. It is a story having to do with seeking knowledge, and information or knowledge of the unseen ('ilmul ghaib) which Allah chooses to make know to "al 'abd as-saalih" Al-Khidr whilst Musa does not know until Al-Khidr) informs him, like the story of the boat, the circumstances around the killing of the youth and the building of the wall.
The third story is of "Dhul Qarnain" also Known as Alexander the Great, a king makannu Allah with taqwa (fear of Allah) and a heightened sense of justice, to extend his powers over the inhabited world and to possess mushaariq al ard wa maghaaribaha - the East of the earth and its West, and the issue of his building a great dam.
Just as the surah uses, for the purpose of its intent, these three stories, it also uses impressive examples in order to explain that the truth is not connected or linked to great wealth or power or sovereignty; it is only tied to correct beliefs. The first example give is the wealthy person who is extremely rich and the poor person "al m'utaza by his beliefs and his belief in the story of the companions of the gardens. The second example given is the "hayatu dunya" or the life of this world and what it consists of. The third example is of the arrogance, pride and deception of Iblis which resulted in his refusal to bow down before Adam ~ alaihi as salaam ` wa ma naalahu min at tarrad wal hurmaan.
Each of these stories and examples are meant to be taken as a lesson or moral as well as points for reflection. So please read this blessed surah every Friday and understand the translation of it.

Hazrat Aisha radhiallahu ta'aala anha Narrates Whoever reads the Qur'an and is well versed in it will be in the company of the angels who are all noble and righteous,and the one who recites and falters in it (yet he recites it) will recieve a two fold reward. - Bukhari-Muslim

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said Whoever recites Surah Kahf on the day of Jummah, there will be a Nur brightened for him between two Jummahs. Also when the prophet was asked about the Djal the prophet responded by saying Whoever memorizes the first ten ayahs of Surah Kahf will be saved from the Dajjal. (Sahih Muslim) Also the Holy Prophet mentioned Recitation of is good for making a person wake up at a particular time and he also said the benefits of reciting Surah al-Kahf is that all sins of the past week are forgiven. Also the prophet said the one who recites Surah al-Kahf will die a martyr and will be raised with the martyrs on the Day of Judgement along the side of the Holy Prophet Muhameed(pbuh).

Furthermore, Abu Saeed Al Khudari said that the Messenger of Allah ~ ~ said, "Whoever reads Suratul Kahf has a light for him from "maqaamahu" his place (where he is standing) to Makkah; and whoever reads 10 ayat from the end of it (the last 10 ayat) when the Dajjal comes out, he will not be harmed by him. Also Al-Bara’ reported: A man was reciting Surat al-Kahf and his horse was tied with two ropes beside him. A cloud came down and spread over that man, and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping (as if it were afraid of something) When it was morning, the man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and told him of that experience. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “That was al-Sakinah (tranquility) which descended because of (the recitation of) the Qur’an” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Also another story of how the surah was revealed was that The Quraysh sent two men to the rabbis of Medina, reasoning that they had superior knowledge of the scriptures and about the prophets of God. The two Quraysh men described their tribesman, Muhammad, to the rabbis. The rabbis told the men to ask Muhammad three questions:

They said, "Ask him about three things which we will tell you to ask, and if he answers them then he is a Prophet who has been sent; if he does not, then he is saying things that are not true, in which case how you will deal with him will be up to you. Ask him about some young men in ancient times, what was their story For theirs is a strange and wondrous tale. Ask him about a man who travelled a great deal and reached the east and the west of the earth. What was his story And ask him about the Ruh (soul or spirit) -- what is it? If he tells you about these things, then he is a Prophet, so follow him, but if he does not tell you, then he is a man who is making things up, so deal with him as you see fit."

The famous story goes that when Muhammad pbuh was informed of the three questions from the rabbis, he said that he would have the answers in the morning but did not say "if God wills it". For fifteen days, Muhammad awaited eagerly for the revelation. Muhammad did not answer the question until then. Doubt in Muhammad began to grow amongst the people of Mecca. Then, after fifteen days, Muhammad received the revelation of al-Kahf as an answer to the questions. So again please read surah al-Kahf every FRIDAY by doing this Allah swt will save you from the Djal and forgive your sins from the past! Inshallah


Some important verses from Surah Kahf

: And say not of anything: Lo! I shall do that tomorrow,

: Except if Allah wills it. And remember thy Lord when thou forgettest, and say: It may be that my Lord guideth me unto a nearer way of truth than this.

: Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!

: Say: "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?

: "Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?"

: They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight.

: That is their reward, Hell, because they rejected Faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest.

: Say(O Muhamad): If the oceans were ink for the words of my Lord, they would be empty before the words of my Lord, even if we had other oceans like it!

: Say(O Muhamad): I am a human like you, except that it has been revealed to me that your Lord is one. So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.
