The document discusses the importance of reciting Soorat Al-Kahf based on three hadiths. It states that the Prophet Muhammad said anyone who memorizes the first 10 verses of Soorat Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal. It also mentions that reciting the last 10 verses of the soorah will prevent the Dajjaal from having power over someone. The document then provides a brief overview of the stories and lessons contained in Soorat Al-Kahf. It emphasizes the importance of reading this soorah every Friday and following its teachings in order to understand life's trials and be saved from fitnah and the Dajjaal.

1. 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 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.”

3. What is the relationship of Soorat Al-Kahf to the Dajjaal?
The Dajjaal will appear prior to the Day of Judgment with 4 trials:
• He will ask people to worship him
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

Good CompanionshipGood 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 LifeKnowing 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,

the winds scatter. And Alaah is Able to do everything.
