Let;s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) -- A Beautiful Du'a

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

Assalaamu alaykum

In Surah Al-Kahf, Allah, Exalted is He, presented the Companions of the cave as role models for us, especially for the youth. The tenth verse of Surah Al-Kahf is a beautiful du'a that they made during their flee to the cave. The young men got together with a purpose -- to protect their iman (faith). So they ran away together from a society that would not allow them to practice their faith.


رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا ....

... Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. [Quran, Al-Kahf 18:10]

Every time you read Surah Al-Kahf, you are making this du'a as well, asking for Allah’s special mercy (since the word min ladunka is used, which is superior to words min doonika or min indika— all meaning the same in English but in Arabic, each of them has a specific meaning).

Grant us mercy, very close and near to You, our Rabb, that comes especially from Your secret vaults. guidance, forgiveness and provision.

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
