What is surah kahf about?  

Surah Al Kahf spoke of many incidents. The cave story is the most famous and it is how the surah got its name. The story of a man of the gardens, the story of Moussa and the blessed kheder, and the story of Dhul-Qarnayn. The surah also has many verses with instructions to Muslims. 

Resurrection ayat

The talk about the resurrection was repeated in Surah Al-Kahf, where it is considered one of the most prominent themes of the surah and its main themes.

The story of the Cave

 the story of the Companions of the Cave, who were young men who believed in God, and affirmed His Oneness. They found a cave to which they were sheltering, and no one saw them, and with them, their dog comforted them in their loneliness. They were running from the injustice of their people who unlike them didn’t believe in God. God eventually kept them in the cave for more than 300 years and it was a miracle. 

The story of the owner of the two heavens

Verses moved from talking about the story of the owners of the cave to talking directly about the story of the owner of the gardens. A man who becomes arrogant and ungrateful to god and god punishes him by taking away his garden.

The story of Dhul-Qarnayn

A story of a great man who walked the earth with power and became a great ruler in the ancient world. The story also mentions that Dhul-Qarnayn built a great dam between people and Yagog and Magog. 

When was surah kahf revealed?

The Quraish sent a man to Jewish rabbis in Medina, to ask them about Muhammad, for they are the People of the First Book, and they know what we do not have of the knowledge of the prophets. 

The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, described to them his command and some of his sayings, and they said: You are the people of the Torah, and we have come to you to tell us about this friend of ours.

The jews told him to ask Muhamed about those things: 

1. him about young people who went in the first age, what was their matter? for they had a strange matter. And they 
2. Ask him about a man who made a circumambulation that reached the east and west of the earth, what was his prediction? 
3. A Spirit what is it? If he informs you of that, then he is a prophet, then follow him, and if he does not tell you, then he is a man who says, so do in his matter what seems to you, 

What is the name of the dog in surah kahf

The dog’s name is not mentioned in the surah al kahf nor the exact number of his friends. 

when to read surah al kahf on Friday.

Why should we read surah al kahf on Friday? 

1. It is debatable among Muslims whether it is true that prophet Muhamed told the famous hadith of the light that surah al kahf brings. Yet it is preferable to read it on Fridays. 

The Hadith: 

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday will have a light between this Friday and the next.”

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

Some Muslim scholars said the hadith is weak.

2. It is also believed that, if you memorize the first 10 verses of surah Al kahf, it protects you from The Fitnah of the Antichrist.

Hadith: 

Abu al Darda reported the prophet (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone memorized ten verses from the beginning of surat al-Kahf, he will be protected from the trial of Dajjal (Antichrist).
