Lessons from Surah Al-Kahf

1. The Power of Faith and Trust in Allah:

The story of the people of the cave (Ashab al-Kahf) highlights the importance of unwavering faith in Allah. These young believers took refuge in a cave to escape persecution, demonstrating their trust in Allah’s protection. Allah rewarded their faith by preserving them for 309 years, illustrating that true faith and reliance on Allah can lead to divine assistance.

2. The Nature of Worldly Life:

The parable of the rich man and the poor man teaches us about the transient nature of worldly wealth and the importance of gratitude and humility. The rich man’s arrogance and ingratitude led to his downfall, while the poor man’s faith and humility were highlighted as virtues. This story reminds us that material wealth is temporary and that our real success lies in our relationship with Allah.

3. Knowledge and Humility:

The encounter between Prophet Musa (Moses) and Khidr (a wise servant of Allah) underscores the value of seeking knowledge and maintaining humility. Despite Musa’s status as a prophet, he learns from Khidr that divine wisdom can be beyond human understanding. This story encourages us to pursue knowledge while acknowledging that there is always more to learn and that Allah’s wisdom is supreme.

4. The Trials of Life:

Surah Al-Kahf addresses various forms of trials: the trial of faith (the people of the cave), the trial of wealth (the rich man and the poor man), the trial of knowledge (Musa and Khidr), and the trial of power (Dhul-Qarnayn). Each story teaches us how to navigate these trials with faith, patience, and reliance on Allah. It highlights that life’s challenges are tests from Allah, and our responses to these trials shape our spiritual journey.

5. Protection from Dajjal:

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised Muslims to recite the first ten verses of Surah Al-Kahf as a protection from the trials of Dajjal (the Antichrist). This emphasizes the surah’s importance in safeguarding one’s faith and seeking refuge in Allah from major trials and tribulations.

6. The Importance of Divine Guidance:

Throughout the surah, we see that divine guidance is crucial for success. The people of the cave were guided to safety, Musa was guided to knowledge, and Dhul-Qarnayn was guided to justly use his power. This teaches us to constantly seek Allah’s guidance in all aspects of our lives.

[lightup0nlight]

🌺 Allah says: ❛Alhamdulillah, Who has sent down to His servant [Muhammad ﷺ] the Book (i.e. the Qur’an), and has not placed therein any crookedness.❜ 【Surah al-Kahf 18:1】

The word {Alhamdulillah} means all praise and gratitude are to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. In the Qur’an, Allah often highlights a specific matter for us to internalise and ponder, and thereupon that reflection, sometimes the word that should come out from our mouth is: Alhamdulillah.

In this aayah, Allah says that there is no room for any deviation in the Qur'an. No matter how political, ideological, economy, technology, fashion, society’s values, or culture changes — one thing will not change — and that is the Qur'an. Its principles and truth are straight and clear as how it was first revealed.

Because when humanity dictates what is normal, the common standard will always deviate. What used to be detested and unacceptable before, has now been accepted as normal today. Allah says in another surah:

🌺 ❛If you obey the majority of those on earth, they will make you lose the way of Allah.❜ 【Surah al-An'am 6:116】

Alhamdulillah, Allah teaches us through His Book that we’re not among those who keep changing our standards when the world changes.

Alhamdulillah, we are freed from slavery to worldly trends, and from accepting what is filthy and corrupt as normal.

Alhamdulillah, Allah has removed these worldly shackles for us. True freedom is to truly be freed from all these false attachments, and to rely solely on our Creator. Rasulullah salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

🌺 ❛Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange (meaning, only a few believers will adhere to its teachings), so give glad tidings to the {ghuraba’ | strangers} (i.e. the ones who truly adhere to the Deen).❜ [Sunan Ibn Majah 3986 | Graded Sahih]

So as believers, do not be embarrassed for holding tightly to the Deen, and do not seek honour and success from everything else other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and His religion. May Allah make us amongst the ghuraba’.

The Poison of Envy: Trusting in Allah's Wisdom

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem.

Envy (Hasad) is indeed a destructive emotion, one that can consume a person and lead them toward feelings of resentment and hatred. It often occurs when we see someone receiving blessings or provisions that we don't have, and we start questioning: "Why them and not me?" This burning feeling, the desire to see another's blessing disappear, is the root of envy.

We see this destructive emotion in the story of Qabil (Cain) and Habil (Abel). Qabil became envious of his brother Habil when Allah accepted Habil’s sacrifice but not his. This envy led Qabil to murder his own brother. Allah recounts this event in the Qur'an:

"فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ قَتْلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ" "So his soul prompted him to kill his brother, and he killed him and became among the losers." Quran 5:30

Envy drove Qabil to commit a heinous sin. This shows the extent to which envy can corrupt the soul. Now, let's reflect on another major incident of envy in the story of Adam (alaihi as-salam) and Iblis. When Allah commanded the angels and Iblis to prostrate to Adam, Iblis refused out of arrogance and envy. Iblis believed he was superior to Adam because he was made of fire while Adam was made of clay:

"قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ" "[Iblis] said, 'I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.'" Quran 7:12

Iblis couldn't tolerate the honor given to Adam (alaihi as-salam), and his envy led him to disobey Allah. In both stories—Qabil and Habil and Iblis and Adam—the underlying sin was envy, a feeling of being unworthy of someone else's blessings, and in turn, questioning Allah's wisdom and justice.

Now, reflect on the logic behind envy. When you see someone who has been blessed—whether with beauty, wealth, intelligence, or success—you may start questioning: "Why them? Why not me?" You begin to feel entitled to their blessing and, like Iblis, you use your own logic to justify your feelings. But who are we to decide who deserves what? It is Allah who allocates provisions and blessings:

"إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا" "Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed, He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing." Quran 17:30

Allah, in His infinite wisdom, gives what He knows is best for each of us. Sometimes, we may not understand why someone else receives a particular blessing while we don't, but this is where Tawakkul (trust in Allah) comes into play.

The Story of Khidr and Musa (Alaihi as-Salam):

A beautiful example of this is found in Surah Al-Kahf, where Prophet Musa (alaihi as-salam) was shown incidents by Khidr that initially seemed unjust. One such event was when Khidr repaired a wall in a village where the people had refused to offer them any hospitality. Musa (alaihi as-salam) questioned why Khidr would help such people. Khidr explained that beneath the wall was a treasure belonging to orphans, and by fixing the wall, he was protecting their inheritance until they were old enough to claim it:

"وَأَمَّا ٱلۡجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَـٰمَيۡنِ يَتِيمَيۡنِ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحۡتَهُۥ كَنزٞ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَـٰلِحٗا" "As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and beneath it was a treasure for them; and their father had been righteous..." Quran 18:82

This story teaches us that Allah's wisdom is beyond our comprehension. While we may see someone receiving blessings and wonder why, the reality could be something we are not privy to. Just like the people in the village, we might think someone undeserving is getting something good, but in reality, Allah has a hidden reason that benefits others or serves a greater purpose.

Lessons from the Story of the Quraysh and the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam):

The Meccan Quraysh refused to accept the message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) partly because of their envy. They could not accept that someone from among them—not from the wealthiest or most powerful tribes—was chosen as the final messenger of Allah. They asked, "Why him? Why not us?" But Allah chose Muhammad (peace be upon him) because of his purity of heart and truthfulness, qualities far more important than wealth or status.

"وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيمٍ" "And they said, 'Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?'" Quran 43:31

Like Qabil, they questioned Allah’s wisdom, which only led to their downfall. If only they had accepted the Prophet’s message, they would have received immeasurable blessings.

How to Combat Envy:

When you feel the burning sensation of envy, remember that Allah knows what is best for each of His servants. Instead of letting envy take root, do what the Prophet (peace be upon him) advised:

Make du’a for others: If you see someone with a blessing, make du’a for Allah to increase them in that blessing. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“If any one of you sees something in his brother that pleases him, let him pray for blessing for him, and not envy him.” (Ibn Majah)

The angels will pray for you: When you make du’a for others, the angels respond by making the same du’a for you. This is a win-win situation—your heart stays pure, and you receive blessings as well.

Tawakkul: Trust that Allah is the best planner, and that whatever you have is exactly what you need to succeed in this world and the next.

"وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ" "And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him." Quran 65:3

Remember that Satan is disappointed: Every time you resist envy and pray for others, you

are disappointing Shaytan, who thrives on creating jealousy and hatred among people. By staying content and making du’a for others, you not only protect your heart from the poison of envy but also bring peace to your soul.

Envy is an emotion that can lead to destructive behavior, just as it did with Qabil and Iblis. However, Islam teaches us to combat envy by recognizing that Allah is the best planner and that He alone decides who receives what. Instead of questioning Allah’s wisdom, we should place our trust in Him, remain content with what we have, and pray for others to receive more blessings. By doing so, we not only protect ourselves from the harmful effects of envy but also draw closer to Allah and invite His mercy into our lives.

The next time you feel the stirrings of envy, make du’a for the person, and remember that what Allah has given them does not diminish what He can give you. Trust that Allah’s plan is the best for you, and He knows exactly what you need in this life and the hereafter.

🌟 Lessons from Surah Al-Kahf

Surah Al-Kahf, a chapter filled with timeless حكمة (wisdom) and profound lessons, offers invaluable guidance for our lives. Let us explore some of the key lessons and stories it contains:

1️⃣ Faith and Steadfastness in Challenging Times: The story of the أصحاب الكهف (Companions of the Cave) teaches us the importance of إيمان (faith) and استقامة (steadfastness) in the face of trials and tribulations. These righteous young men sought refuge in a cave, and Allah blessed them with a معجزة (miracle) sleep that preserved their faith and inspired generations.

🔑 Lesson: The story emphasizes the importance of faith, صبر (patience), and seeking توكل (reliance) in Allah during challenging times. It reminds us that استقامة (steadfastness) in our beliefs can lead to unimaginable blessings.

2️⃣ Gratitude and Humility in the Face of Wealth: The parable of the حديقتين (Two Gardens) highlights the transient nature of worldly possessions. A wealthy man boasted about his كُفر (abundant) gardens without acknowledging Allah's blessings, and his gardens were eventually destroyed.

🔑 Lesson: This parable reminds us to have شكر (gratitude) for our نعمة (blessings) and recognize the حقيقة (true reality) of prosperity. It teaches تواضع (humility) and cautions against being blinded by the غلبة (dominance) of material wealth.

3️⃣ Seeking Knowledge and Humility: The encounter between Prophet Moses (Nabi Musa) and Al-Khidr reveals the importance of seeking knowledge and maintaining humility. Musa learns from Al-Khidr, a servant of Allah, and is tested in his patience and understanding.

🔑 Lesson: This encounter teaches us the value of knowledge and the humility required to learn from those who possess deeper wisdom. It reminds us that there are hidden dimensions to events and situations beyond our limited understanding. It encourages us to be open-minded, patient, and humble in our pursuit of knowledge and to recognize that true wisdom comes from Allah alone.

By reflecting on this lesson, we are reminded to approach knowledge with humility, knowing that there is always more to learn and understand. We are encouraged to seek knowledge, engage in lifelong learning, and be receptive to the wisdom and guidance that Allah places in the path of our journey.

Reflections from Surah Kahf - 10

In verse number 45, Allah Almighty has revealed the reality of life in this world. Allah Almighty states that the life of this world is like a garden. When Allah sends rain, the garden blossoms, the greenery flourishes, and the grass grows everywhere. Colorful flowers bloom in abundance.

Then, when there is a period without rain, the same garden withers due to the intensity of the heat. The grass, trees, and leaves start wilting. Eventually, the grass dries up completely, and only its particles remain. Even those particles are carried away by the wind.

Have you seen beautiful gardens in spring? Do you think they will ever wither away? No! They are so beautiful that we forget they will also come to an end.

Then, right before our eyes, the season of autumn arrives, and those flowers, trees, and plants shed their leaves. They come to an end.

This life is also similar. It flourishes with Allah's mercy and rain, and spring blooms everywhere. And we, as humans, get lost in the deception of this spring and forget that the season of autumn will also come.

We get lost in the same spring where our time comes to an end, and we don't even realize it.

This is the reality of this world...

This is the truth of the things that are bestowed upon us in this world.

The people we love, our youth, the possessions we accumulate, they all seem beautiful in the beginning, but with time, they also start to show signs of aging, they break, they die, they leave us...

Allah Almighty is teaching us the lesson here that no matter how beautiful this world may be, no matter how precious our possessions may be, all of this is temporary. It will all come to an end.

[dailytafsirofquran]

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Kahf Ayah 66-70

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

18:66 Musa said to him: "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge which you have been taught (by Allah)!''

18:67 He said: "Verily, you will not be able to have patience with me!''

18:68 "And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not!''

18:69 Musa said: "If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.''

18:70 He said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention of it to you.''

Musa meeting with Al-Khidr and accompanying Him

Allah tells us what Musa said to that learned man, who was Al- Khidr. He was one to whom Allah had given knowledge that He had not given to Musa, just as He had given Musa knowledge that He had not given to Al-Khidr.

Musa said to him: "May I follow you...''

This is a question phrased in gentle terms, with no sense of force or coercion. This is the manner in which the seeker of knowledge should address the scholar.

(I follow you)

means, I accompany you and spend time

with you.

so that you teach me something of that knowledge which you have been taught.

meaning, teach me something from that which Allah has taught you so that I may be guided by it and learn something beneficial and do righteous deeds.

At this point,

He said,

meaning, Al-Khidr said to Musa,

Verily, you will not be able to have patience with me!

meaning, `You will not be able to accompany with me when you see me doing things that go against your law, because I have knowledge from Allah that He has not taught you, and you have knowledge from Allah that He has not taught me. Each of us has responsibilities before Allah that the other does not share, and you will not be able to stay with me,'

And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not!

`For I know that you will denounce me justifiably, but I have knowledge of Allah's wisdom and the hidden interests which I can see but you cannot.'

He said,

meaning, Musa said:

If Allah wills, you will find me patient, with whatever I see of your affairs,

and I will not disobey you in aught.

means, `I will not go against you in anything.'

At that point, Al-Khidr, upon him be peace, set a condition:

Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything, do not initiate any discussion of the matter,

till I myself mention of it to you.

meaning, `until I initiate the discussion, before you ask me about it.'

Surah At-Taubah’s Last Two Verses: A Comfort in Trying Times

Sometimes, when life feels heavy, we turn to the Quran for comfort and guidance. The last two verses of Surah At-Taubah are often recited for protection and emotional healing.

before anything you can read the full article Because the description below is only a simple explanation of the article, What are Surah At-Taubah last 2 Ayat Benefits

These verses remind us that:

The Prophet (PBUH) cares deeply for his Ummah, and through these verses, we can feel his concern.

Allah’s mercy is boundless. No matter what you’re going through, these verses offer reassurance that Allah is always near and merciful.

I personally find reciting these Ayat helps when I’m overwhelmed, offering a sense of peace and relief. Have you ever felt the same?

[almaqead]

"The Remote Place." Surah 22, "Al Hajj", "the Solemnity."

I have been using the Quran as the theoretical basis for a new strand of DNA in the field of theology. As we know, Allah called Muhammad to the Kahf in order to communicate the screw shaped path man has taken of the ages and make the way straighter, to restate its stretch goal of a universal brand of goodness from which all mankind could benefit.

The document was written and has been maintained in Arabic but was not intended to be exclusive nor intrusive. Allah is forthright about this to His Messenger. The Glorious Quran is the only document in religious history that proclaims God is Unseen but present wherever life can be found and is the Agent in every religion mankind has ever practiced:

"The Qur'an is a sacred book sent by the Lord of all creation. It is a book for all human beings. It was in the seventh century AD that Islam came to the world. According the Islamic belief, God sent the same religion to every nation that is, Islam.

The only distinctive quality of Islam, as regards to Prophet Muhammad is that while the messages sent to previous prophets got distorted, the original text of the message sent to Prophet Muhammad has been fully preserved due to the availability of paper (papyrus) in its crude form at the time and with the invention of the printing press in times to come.

That is why, now, for later generations (after the emergence of Islam) the greatest and the only source of knowledge of the right concept of God, in its pristine form, is Islam. Anyone who wants to grasp the true concept of God has no choice but to turn to the Quran."

We must study the Quran if we are to know how to cross religious differences, a sacrament known as Hajj. All mankind must perform the Hajj. About this the Surah has a message:

22-27-32:

Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage.1 They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path,

so they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them,1 and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor.

Then let them groom themselves,1 fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.”

That is so. And whoever honours the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord. The ˹meat of˺ cattle has been made lawful for you, except what has ˹already˺ been recited to you.1 So shun the impurity of idolatry, and shun words of falsehood.

Be upright ˹in devotion˺ to Allah, associating none with Him ˹in worship˺. For whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah is like someone who has fallen from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or swept by the wind to a remote place.

That is so. And whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is certainly out of the piety of the heart."

Commentary:

Muhammad was told by God and the Angel to teach mankind how to graduate from piety, ritual, and prayer to understanding. Specifically, he told the Founders of Islam to end war, conflict, corruption, class warfare, hoarding, and poverty and deal with mankind's troubles according to rules that visibly changed the lots of the suffering.

Hajj is the "distant path" man must travel apparently in order to grasp what this means and actually do it. Rituals are all right, they help cement the mind and illustrate the text, but they are severely limited in the craft of the relief of dismay and poverty, and he adds do not submit to interfaith prejudices and waylay assistance to those who really need it:

22: 33-35:

"You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term,1 then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.

You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term,1 then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.

For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble: those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them."

We cannot ask the poor and disabled to pray and be patient. Something must be done. The Quran specifically says the conditions in the mind, heart and on the surface of the world must simultaneously evolve so the bureaucracy of cruelty comes to an end immediately, at once, instantly, right now.

We know this thing called God is there, we now for sure sages can speak to Him and comprehend His Sooth, we should at least try to abide by its wisdom and clean up this wreck.

Next we discuss the fastest way to make this great and magnificent change via everyone's favorite Middle Eastern Arabic topic, the camels.

[lightup0nlight]

Have you read Surah al-Kahf today (Friday)? Here are some beneficial reflections written by Imam Karim AbuZaid on the surah:

❛Surah al-Kahf addresses the topic of trials and tribulations by utilizing storytelling. If we categorize these trials, they can be divided into two areas: matters of belief, and matters of desire.

The surah provides four stories, with two focusing on matters of belief: the story of the companions of the cave, and the story of Musa and al-Khidr (may the peace and the blessings be upon both of them as prophets of Allah). These stories highlight the importance of steadfastness in faith and the acceptance of Allah's wisdom, even in challenging situations.

The other two stories in the surah revolve around matters of desire. The rich man's story and Dhul Qarnain's explore the temptations of wealth, power, and authority. These stories caution against succumbing to worldly desires, and emphasize the need for humility and righteousness.

Overall, Surah al-Kahf uses these stories to teach important lessons about remaining steadfast in faith, resisting temptations, and seeking Allah's guidance in navigating life's trials and tribulations. It serves as a reminder to prioritize spiritual values over worldly pursuits, and to seek success in the sight of Allah rather than in pursuing personal desires or positions of power.❜
