Surah Kahf Day: Solving Today's Problems

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

In our journey to Allah, we face many many many problems of different sort. The solutions to these problems are in the Surah Kahf and we are to recite it every single Friday.

This was the du'a of a group of young men, the Companions of the Cave, when they were escaping from their cruel King and nation of idol worshippers.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا ﴿١٠ ...

"Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance." (10)

[Qur'an Al-Kahf 18:10]

The young men were summoned to the King's court and questioned. It was a matter of life and death. But, despite their apprehension for the worst, Allah made His love, awe and grandeur prevail over their hearts which empowered them to face any eventuality of death or distress. The outcome was that they proclaimed their belief clearly and courageously saying that they did not worship anyone or anything other than Allah and would not do that in future as well. The young men left the city in which it was not possible to worship Allah and took refuge in the Cave.

Allah had arranged for their protection in the Cave while they sleep for a long time.

فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا ﴿١١

So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years. (11)

[Qur'an Al-Kahf 18:11]

People who firmly resolve to do something for the sake of Allah, this is how they receive help from Allah.

May Allah save us from the trials and tribulations of this life and the next and grant us from Himself mercy and prepare for us from our affairs right guidance. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
