In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
The month of Ramadhan is of a high status. So any good deed and acts of obedience during this month is of immense virtue and earn a greatly multiplied reward, So we should make the most of what is left of this blessed month by doing lots of acts of worship and righteous deeds, and giving up all acts of disobedience and bad deeds, in the hope that Allah will bless us by accepting our good deeds, enable us to adhere to the Truth throughout our lives, save us from the Hellfire and grant us His Noble Countenance.
This is our last reading of Surah al Kahf on Friday in this Ramadhan. Let's read the entire Surah al Kahf before sunset today. The reward of each good deed is multiplied in Ramadhan and each letter read of the Quran is rewarded tenfold and multiplied many times more. Imagine the tremendous reward you would miss if you neglect reading Surah al Kahf today. Leave your shopping, cooking and preparation for Eid for later and read it now so you don't forget.
The beginning of great things begins with a du'a. The power of du'a is captured inside this Surah. It is the major turning point for a few young men who fled to a cave from the people of their city who were forcing them to worship other than Allah.
The cave is wide open and more comfortable for the one who calls on Allah as their Lord and the entire open sky is tight on someone who ignores their Lord. You may have the entire world at your feet physically but you will feel discomfort because you don't have Allah in your life and you may have nothing but you will feel comfort because you have Allah to call on to.
As these young men fled towards the cave, they turned to Allah and made this du'a,
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. [Qur'an, Al-Kahf 18:10]
Allah granted them their du'a and protected them for more than three centuries. Generations after generations of people derived lessons and benefited from their story, recite the Surah which is named after them every Friday, and made their du'a everyday in various settings -- imagine all the reward they are getting until the end of time.
If you are concerned about your future, increase your du'a. Learn this du'a and make it your daily supplication.
رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
May Allah grant us mercy from Himself and prepare for us right guidance in all our affairs. May Allah save us from the trials and tribulations of this life and the next and protect us from the Dajjal. 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
