1. ‫بسم ال الرحمن الرحيم‬
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 Judgment, 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.”
Al-Haakim 1/564 & Adh-Dhahabee
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”.

: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

5. 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
“‫” اللهم نجنا من الفتن ما ظهر منها وما بطن‬
Oh Allaah, save me from the trials, that
which is obvious and that which is hidden”
