 2 Feb 2024   Follow The four stories of Surat Al-Kahf  Surah Al Kahf is a Meccan Surah meaning it was revealed when Prophet Muhammad was in Mecca. It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ before the Hijrah/Migration to Medina when the persecution of Muslims and Islam was at its peak. It was revealed somewhere between the 8th and 10th year of Prophethood.  These are the main lessons from the four stories of Surah Al-Kahf.  1. Trial of Faith – People of the Cave/ Ashabu Al-Kahf (Verses 9 – 26) سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلاثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ فَلا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلاَّ مِرَاء ظَاهِرًا وَلا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا(22)  This story is about a number of young men who were driven out of their homes because they believed in Allah. They ended up in a cave where Allah made them s...

    "Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim" In Islam, seeking knowledge is highly emphasized. It is the duty of every Muslim, male or female, to seek knowledge throughout their life. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim."  The Holy Prophet of Allah (S.A.W.) has said: " Atta libul ilm faridhatol kuli muslim." means: "Attainment of knowledge is must for every Muslim." The first guidance given to the mankind in the Qur'an was “Iqra” i.e. to read, recite or proclaim in Surah Alaq Chapter 96. Acquiring knowledge in Islam is not limited to religious studies, but encompasses all fields of study, including science, technology, and medicine. By seeking knowledge, Muslims can understand the world around them and use their knowledge to benefit society. Furthermore, seeking knowledge is a means of getting closer to Allah, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “ Whoever follows a pa...

Question: Asfa Umer We are aware that the martyrs are not in the grave, but rather, they are still present among us and still at risk. However, I am curious as to what will happen to people like us who are not martyrs and who pass away naturally.What happens to our soul and where does it go? Does it go to an area known as barzakh, and if so, could you please elaborate on this? Or does it go to an eternal state of dormancy? Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. The existence after this one is far superior to the life here on earth. The joys, sorrows, and experiences of this existence pale in comparison to the afterlife. The moment the spirit leaves the body is when the phenomenon starts. There are two categories at this point in time: the fortunate and the destitute. I The fortunate are treated as monarchs. They are welcomed by hundreds of angels, who surround them in fragrance and radiance. In a pr...

Recognise that Allah is your lord and master, not only of this world, but of all possible worlds, and that He provides for the world and saves it. So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.  [Quran, 2:251] Avoid disgracing others. Then, you are those [same ones who are] killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes, cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of...

" * O, Allah! Grant me understanding of Deen* " If you make this Dua, Insha Allah (God willing) Allah will open the way for you to understand his deen.  *Knowledge & Understanding*   *إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ* *تَعْقِلُونَ*(2:12)  “ *Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an that you might understand* .” (Al-Baqara, 2:12) Many people have knowledge of the Quran but they may not have the understanding of applying it.    We might interpret it differently or understand different so we need Allah's guidance and tawfeeq along with the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) to understand His religion.  *Understanding & Tawfeeq*   **وَمَا تَوۡفِيقِىٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ‌ۚ*   *and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah*  (Quran Hud: 11:88) To be given knowledge with an understanding of the deen is a great honour.  *Ability & Opportunity = Tawfeeq*  You may have the opportunity ...
