Surah al Kahf {18} Hazza al Balushi

Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18 of the Quran) is highly valued in Islam for its spiritual benefits, as highlighted by major scholars. Reciting it on Fridays brings a light of guidance for the week, and its first and last ten verses protect against the trials of Dajjal (Antichrist). Through its stories-such as the Companions of the Cave, the Owner of Two Gardens, Musa and Khidr, and Dhul-Qarnayn-it teaches faith, gratitude, patience, and justice, offering lessons for enduring trials and trusting Allah’s wisdom. Scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi emphasize its role in safeguarding faith and preparing for the Hereafter.
