Lessons from Surah al-Kahf by Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi

A Surah with 4 stories, each with a different theme - the trial of faith, the trial of wealth, the trial of knowledge and the trial of power, respectively. The one who recites Surah Kahf on Friday will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next, and it is also a protection against the fitnah of Dajjal.

Each of the lessons are ones that could have been told directly. However, Allah, in His Divine and Infinite Wisdom, chose to convey them to us through stories, that peak our interest and appeal to our human nature. SubhanAllah, the eloquence and the spiritual impact is unparalleled.


‘We narrate to you their true story. They were a party of young men who had faith in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.’ (18:13)

May Allah increase us in guidance through the Quran, and allow us to be people of the Quran. May Allah allow the Quran to be an evidence for us and not an evidence against us.


The book has very easy language and is very easy to follow, for all ages. May Allah bless Yasir Qadhi for his efforts.
