Abu Ad-Dardaa reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa

sallam) said, Anyone who memorizes ten aayahs from the beginning of
Soorat Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal .

Muslim, Riyaad As-Saaliheen by Imaam An-Nawawee 183 #1012
One narration says, from the end of Soorat Al-Kahf.
The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Whoever recited Soorat Al-
Kahf in the same manner in which it was revealed, it will serve for him as a
light on the Day of J udgment, from his domicile to Makkah. And whoever
recited the last ten verses, and it happens that the Dajjaal should appear
after that, Dajjaal will not be empowered over him.

knowledgeable person in
the earth? He said, Me

knowledgeable than him.

In approximately the

instead of Allaah
He will order the sky to rain, and he will
tempt people with his wealth.
He will try people with knowledge due to
what he reveals to people of news
He will control major parts of the Earth

The Boats of Success
Good Companionship:
And keep yourself (O Muhammad) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your
companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, etc., and other
righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook
them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We
have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair
(deeds) has been lost.


Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 28
Knowing the Realities of Life:
And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain)
which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and
becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the
winds scatter. And Alaah is Able to do everything.


Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 45

Oh Allaah, save me from the trials, that
which is obvious and that which is hidden
The Boats of Success
Humility

He (Moses) said: "If Allaah will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you
in aught.


Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 69
Sincerity

Say (O Muhammad): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me
that your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah. So whoever hopes for the meeting with
his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in
the worship of his Lord.



Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 110
Finally . . .
Did you understand the secret of reading Soorat Al-
Kahf every Friday? Did you realize its place in helping
us understand the trials of this life, and the way to be
saved from them? Do you now know its great
importance for us in guarding us from the Dajjaal?

So . . .there is no room for negligence in reading it
every Friday, and of course following its commands
afterwards.

Wa as-Salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.
Spread the word, as the one who guides to
goodness is like one who does it
