Let's Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday)
Trust in Allah & Keep Righteous Companions
The young men in the story of the cave put their trust in Allah when they separated from their disbelieving people and sought refuge in a cave. They had no idea what would become of them but they received the best protection from Allah Himself and honored with a Surah in His Book that is named after their story.
We should equally learn to trust in Allah at all times and especially in times of uncertainty and trial. They did not only believe, they also took the necessary steps to act on their belief. First their thoughts and eventually their limbs took action.
Begin the journey in your heart, but do not let it end there; verbalize your thoughts, then walk the talk. Face up to societal pressure through the example of the youth of the cave. Build a kind of “cave” in your life from time to time so that you can give yourself space away from the noise and busyness around you to reflect on the verses of Allah and nurture the faith within.
“And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.”
[Quran, Al Kahf 18:28]
