110 Verses · Juz 15 · Meccan · Surah #18
Surah Al-Kahf is the 18th chapter of the Quran containing 110 verses. It tells four great stories: the People of the Cave, the man with two gardens, Prophet Musa and Al-Khidr, and Dhul-Qarnayn. The Prophet ﷺ specifically commanded its recitation on Fridays, granting the reciter light between two Fridays and protection from the Dajjal (Antichrist).
"Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf on Friday will have light illuminated for him between the two Fridays."
— Al-Hakim, Sahih
"Whoever memorises the first ten verses of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal (Antichrist)."
— Sahih Muslim 809
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِیۤ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمۡ یَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَاۜ
ALL PRAISE is due to God, who has bestowed. this divine writ from on high upon His servant, and has not allowed any deviousness to obscure its meaning:
قَیِّمࣰا لِّیُنذِرَ بَأۡسࣰا شَدِیدࣰا مِّن لَّدُنۡهُ وَیُبَشِّرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ٱلَّذِینَ یَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرًا حَسَنࣰا
[a divine writ] unerringly straight, meant to warn [the godless] of a severe punishment from Him, and to give unto the believers who do good works the glad tiding that theirs shall be a goodly reward-
مَّـٰكِثِینَ فِیهِ أَبَدࣰا
[a state of bliss] in which they. shall dwell beyond the count of time.
