WHY WE SHOULD RECITE SURAH AL KAHF EVERY FRIDAY

     
Why do we recite Surah Al Kahf every Friday❓
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.


   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 with 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 ...

1.Good companionship
(In 28th ayah)

2. Knowing the truth of this world 
(In 45th ayah)

3. Humility

4. Sincerity
(In 110th ayah)

5. Calling to Allah

The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER

*The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER** Assalamu Alykum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu To All.. Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du'a.” The Prophet ( ﷺ) said: “O my uncle, say: Allahumma inni as'aluka al-afiyah (O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).” Now what is Afiyah? Afiyah means - “to save me from any afflictions. To be healthy, you are in afiyah. To have enough money, you are in afiyah. To live, you are in afiyah. To have your children protected, you are in afiyah. And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah." So basically Afiyah means: “O Allah, protect me from any pain and suffering.” This includes both dunya and akhirah. Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased): “Ya Rasulullah, this du'a seems a little short. I want something big.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “My dear uncle, ask Allah f...

I AM NOT A LABEL

                I AM NOT A LABEL   I am not BLACK  I mean, that's what the world calls me, But it's not me. I didn't come out of my mother's womb saying.... "Hey everyone, I'm BLACK." No! I was taught to be BLACK And you were taught to call me that. Along with whatever you call yourself. It's just a LABEL. See, from birth,the world force feed us these LABELS. And eventually we all swallow them. We digest them and accept the LABEL. Never ever doubting them. But there is a problem, LABELS are not you, and LABELS are not me. LABELS are just LABELS. Who we truly are is not skin deep. See, when I drive my car, No one would ever confuse the car for me. Well, when I drive my body, Why did you confuse me for my body? It's my body. Get it? Not me. Let me break it down. See, our bodies are just cars that we operate and drive around. The dealership we call "SOCIETY" decided to label...

30 BENEFITS Of DHIKR

Ibn al-Qayyim: 30 Benefits of Dhikr 1. Dhikr drives away and breaks the shaytan 2. It pleases ar-Rahman 3. It removes the cares and worries of the Heart 4. It brings joy and happiness to the Heart 5. It strengthens both body and Heart 6. It endows the person with Love of Allāh which is the very spirit of Islam - for God has opened a way of access to everything, and the way to Love is constancy in Dhikr. 7. It endows one with vigilance which opens to the door to Ihsan - entering therein, the servant worships Allāh as if he were seeing Him. 8. It predisposes the servant to turn back to Allāh in every state. 9. It endows him with proximity to Allāh. His proximity to Allāh is in proportion to his remembrance; his distance in proportion to his heedlessness. 10. It endows him with Allāh’s own remembrance of him, Allāh says, ‘Remember Me, I shall remember you.“ 11. It endows the heart with life. Ibn Taymiyyah said, ‘Remembrance is to the heart what water is to fish. What...
