Surah al kahf

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Praise be to God, who revealed the Book to His servant, and allowed in it no distortion. 2. Valuable—to warn of severe punishment from Himself; and to deliver good news to the believers who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward. 3. In which they will abide forever. 4. And to warn those who say, “God has begotten a son.” 5. They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths. They say nothing but a lie. 6. Perhaps you may destroy yourself with grief, chasing after them, if they do not believe in this information. 7. We made what is upon the earth an ornament for it, to test them as to which of them is best in conduct. 8. And We will turn what is on it into barren waste. 9. Did you know that the People of the Cave and the Inscription were of Our wondrous signs? 10. When the youths took shelter in the cave, they said, “Our Lord, give us mercy from Yourself, and bless our affair with guidance.” 11. Then We sealed their ears in the cave for a number of years. 12. Then We awakened them to know which of the two groups could better calculate the length of their stay. 13. We relate to you their story in truth. They were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. 14. And We strengthened their hearts, when they stood up and said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; we will not call on any god besides Him, for then ...

Insha'Allah we start the tafsir (exegesis) of Surat al-Kahf (the Chapter of the Cave). This is the eighteenth chapter of the Qur'an. Surat al-Kahf takes its name from the ninth verse of this chapter ( The goal is to understand Surah Al Kahf, a surah that most of us read every Friday. I'm sure that we've read it so many times that we've started to actually memorize it. This is a great blessing of Allah who sent the Qur'an and promised to protect the Qur'an. Tafsir itself began at the time of the Prophet . There are some important tools that we should have when we talk about the Qur'an. The word 'tafsir' comes from a word which means "to be clear, to be apparent," so Tafsir al-Qur'an means "Explanation of the Qur'an." The goal of this tafsir is not to make things simple. As Imam Sirti , who died 911 years after Hijri, mentions in his book, that the tafsir al-Qur'an is the tool needed for someone to be able to gain a scholarly connection with the Qur'an and understand its meanings, its application and context, and also to derive rulings. For us here in America, especially those of us working 9 to 5, struggling to pay $4.50 at the gas pump, what we need from tafsir al-Qur'an is basic application: how to practice the religion correctly, how to preserve the religion amongst our family and how to do something good in the society-that is what we need. How do we develop an intimacy with the Qur'an that will empower us to transcend our own weaknesses and articulate our religious exp...

Share Page 018 Al-Kahf Surah Al Kahf is Makki in revelation and chronologically, the most centrally located surah in the Qur’an. It draws its importance from the encouragement of the Prophet ﷺ to recite it every Friday, to safeguard oneself from the trials of Dajjaal, the Anti-Christ. It is named after the incident of the Youth of the Cave, which is also found not only in the Bible but also in Roman and Greek traditions, usually with the reference of “The Seven Sleepers”. The surah narrates three more stories to highlight important lessons – the Two Men of Garden, the meeting of Musa (AS) with Al Khidr and the building of the wall to restrict Yajuj and Majuj by Dhul Qarnayn. Each of these incidents have been explained by scholars to contain important lessons in facing the difficulties brought by Dajjaal. Besides, the surah emphasizes the need to keep away from irrelevant questioning and to focus on important matters. This is the only surah to clearly mention that Iblees was from one of the jinn, and not an angel while mentioning his refusal to bow to Adam (AS) as per the command of Allaah (SWT). After warning the disbelievers of the gravity of them ascribing a son to the All-Mighty, the surah begins with the Story of the Youth of the Cave, who were resurrected from their sleep during the age of the followers of Prophet Isa (AS). Interestingly, the last story mentioned in this surah is about Yajuj and Majuj, who also will come forth during the (second coming) of Isa(AS). Ov...
