Alhamduliallaahi Rabbil -Aalameen wa-Salaatu Was Salaamu 

`Aalaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa-e-wal-Mursaleen...`Amma `Baa`d.

***************************************************

'Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu'.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD~(SalAllahu `Allaihi-Wasallam)asked us to recite Surat Al-Kahf every Friday...

Is there any preference for this Surah over the rest of the 113 Surahs ? 

What is the benefit of reciting this weekly ? Let's See The Benefits...'In Shaa Allah'.

First of all, in this Surah Allah (Azza wa Jall)gives us 4 different, but very interesting stories !

 Let's 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 (Azza wa Jall) and run away. 

Allah (Azza wa Jall) 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(Azza wa Jall) 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 (Azza wa Jall) 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 (Alayhi s-Salam) and Khidr (Alayhi s-Salam)

When Musa (Alayhi s-Salam) was asked 

“Who is the most knowledgeable of the people of Earth?” Musa (Alayhi s-Salam) said that it was him as he assumed he was the only Prophet on Earth at 

the time. But Allah (Azza wa Jall) revealed to him that there was someone who knew more than him   about certain things. 

Musa  (Alayhi s-Salam) traveled looking for him   and learned how divine wisdom 

can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.

The Lesson of this story: 'Trial of Knowledge' {!}

The final one...which is somewhat global...#4/~ 'Dhul  Qarnayn'~

Allah (Azza wa Jall) mentions the story  of a great King who  was given knowledge and power travelling the world helping people and spreading all that was  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 (Azza wa Jall) 

 relates Four different stories relating to 4 different kinds of trials that we pass through in our day to day lives {!}

Let's have a look through 'Hadiths' to learn more about this Surah...

In many 'Hadiths'..PROPHET MUHAMMAD~ (SalAllahu`Allaihi Wasallam) 

 mentions that the one who reads and memorises verses of Surat Al Kahf will be protected from the trials of the 'Dajjal' {!}

 But why this Surah {?}

What is the relation between SURAT AL- KAHF and DAJJAL ?

The answer is simple... Dajjal will appear before the Day of Judgement with Four (4) Trials...{!}

#1/~ he will ask people to worship him and not Allah (Azza wa Jall)

 Trial of Faith !

#2/~ he will be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt people with his wealth: 

Trial of Wealth !

#3/~ he will tempt people with knowledge and news he gives them: 

Trial of Knowledge !

#4/~ he will control huge parts of the Earth: 

 A Trial of Power !
