═✦════✦SECRETS OF SURAH AL-KAHF✦════✦═ ═✦════✦SECRETS OF SURAH AL-KAHF✦════✦═ Ever wondered why Prophet Muhammad(SAW) asked
us to recite Surat Al-Kahf every Friday?
Let’s find out today inshaAllah… This Surah has Four stories in it,having some
morals,lets see them and understand what they are
saying to us: 1) The People Of The Cave
Its the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving
town, so they decided to migrate for the sake of Allah
and run away. -Allah rewards them with mercy in the
cave and protection from the sun - They woke up and
found the entire village believers. MORAL:TRIAL OF FAITH. 2) The Owner Of Two Gardens
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 ,but was too late and his regret did not benefit him .
MORAL:TRIAL OF WEALTH. 3) Musa(AS) and Khidr(AS)
When Musa(AS) was asked-“Who’s the most
knowledgeable of the people of earth?”” Musa(AS)
said:Me…,but Allah revealed to him that there’s
someone who Knows more than him.Musa(AS)
traveled to the man and learnt how the Divine Wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we
perceive as bad.
MORAL:TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE. 4) Dhul-Qarnayn
Its a story of the great King that was given knowledge
and power and was going around the world,helping
people and spreading all that’s good.He was able to
overcome the problem of Yajooj-Majooj and build a
massive dam with the help of people whom he could not even understand.
MORAL:TRIAL OF POWER. In the middle Allah mentions Iblees as the one who
stirs these trials: Behold! We said to the angels “Bow down to Adam”:
they bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the
Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye
then take him and his progeny as protectors rather
than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be
the exchange for the wrongdoers! Now let us see what’s the relationship between Surat
Al-Kahf and the Dajjal (Anti-Christ)? Dajjal will appear before Day of Judgement with the 4
trials: ***He’ll ask people to worship him and not Allah:
Trial of Faith . ***He’ll be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt
people with his wealth:
Trial of with his wealth. . ***He’ll trial people with the “knowledge” and news he
gives them:
Trial of Knowledge . He’ll control huge parts of the Earth.
Trial of Power . How to survive these trials? The answers are in Surat
Al-Kahf Survival Kit 1: Good companionship. “And keep thy soul content with those who call on
their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face;
and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the
pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart
We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us,
one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.” (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 28) Survival Kit 2: Knowing the Truth of this World . “Set forth to them the similitude of the life of this
world: It is like the rain which we send down from the
skies: the earth’s vegetation absorbs it, but soon it
becomes dry stubble, which the winds do scatter: it is
(only) Allah who prevails over all things” (Surat Al-
Kahf, verse 45) Survival Kit 3: Humbleness. “Moses said: “Thou wilt find me, if Allah so will, (truly)
patient: nor shall I disobey thee in aught.””(Surat Al-
Kahf, verse 69) Survival Kit 4: Sincerity. “Say: “I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the
inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one
Allah. whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work
righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit
no one as partner.” (Surat Al- Kahf, verse 110) Survival Kit 5: Calling to Allah . “And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to
thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His
Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than
Him.” (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 27) Survival Kit 6: Remembering the Here After . “ One Day We shall remove the mountains, and thou
wilt see the earth as a level stretch, and We shall
gather them, all together, nor shall We leave out any
one of them. And they will be marshalled before thy
Lord in ranks, (with the announcement), “Now have ye
come to Us (bare) as We created you first: aye, ye thought We shall not fulfil the appointment made to
you to meet (Us)!”: And the Book (of Deeds) will be
placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in
great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they
will say, “Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves
out nothing small or great,but takes account thereof !” They will find all that they did, placed before them:
And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.” (Surat
Al-Kahf, verses 47-49)
