*Surah Kahf*

Assalamu alaikum!

Its 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 prefence for this surah over the rest 113 surahs? What's the benefit of reciting this weekly?

Lets check it out-

First of all, in this Surah Allah gives to us 4 different, but INTERESTING stories!

Lets explore each along with the lessons we get from each of them....

🔘1."The people of the cave"

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'❗

🔘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 it, but was too late and his regret did not benefit him.

Lesson of this story:
'Trial of wealth'❗

🔘3. "Musa(as) and Khidr (as)"

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.

And Lesson of this story:
'Trial of knowledge'❗

And now to the FINAL one, its somewhat GLOBAL,

🔘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.

Lesson of this story:
'Trial of power'❗

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!

❔NOW, why this Surah?

❔What is the relation between SURAH KAHF and DAJJAL??
The Answer is simple...

Dajjal will appear before the day of judgement with 4 trials:

🔘A) He will ask people to worship him and not Allah: Trial of faith!

🔘B) He will be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt people with his wealth:
Trial of wealth!

🔘C) He will tempt people with "knowledge” and news he gives them: Trial of knowledge!

D) He will control huge parts of the Earth:
Trial of power!

NOW JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND SAY 'SUBHANALLAH'!!!!!

Now, we see Almighty Allah speaking to us about trials, don't you want a SOLUTION for those trials? We need, and ALLAH knows our need!!! So He tells us the solution as well in this Surah...let me just point out them with their AYAH NUMBERS so that you can look for those meanings ...

Mothers have a great role to play in shaping the characters and morals of nations:

* *Two incidents about the loss of a pencil!* *The first case of the missing pencil:* One robber says: Once, when I was in 4th class, I lost my pencil. When I came home I told my mother about it, as a punishment she hit me and scolded me. She called me stupid, irresponsible and much more. As a result of my mother's harsh behaviour, I made up my mind that I would not go to my mother empty-handed, so I decided to steal the pencils of my classmates. The next day, I made a plan and I didn't stop stealing one or two pencils but stole the pencils of all my class fellows. At first, I used to be afraid, but with time I got confident and more fearless. After doing so for a month, I lost the thrill. Then, I decided to go to the next class. I went from one class to another, and finally I went to the school principal's room. It was a year of practical experience in which I learned to steal both theoretically and practically and then I became a professional bandit. *The second case o

They are your children, Amanah from Allah:

*They are your children* 🧕👲 They are not burdens, they are not your mistake, they are not your headache, they are not your empty dirt bags in which you throw your stress, negativity, rage and anger into. They are not your financial difficulties, they are not your delicate toys to break emotionally, physically and mentally. They are not your weakling to walk all over and disrespect. They are not your verbal diarrhea sink to spew curses, insults and ridicule into. They are not your bad deeds coming back to haunt you. They are not the reason to live in an abusive marriage. They are not puppets to be controlled at all times. They are not your second chance to try and live your unfulfilling life, your shattered dreams and your broken aspirations through them. They are not your enemy, your competitor, your despair, your hurdle, your set back and your full stop. They are not the reason you stop perusing your dreams, hobbies and interests. They are not their nanny
