Noor On The Day Of Judgement
From Abu Hashim that the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - said:
من قرأ سورة الكهف كما أنزلت كانت له نورا يوم القيامة
‘Whoever reads Soorah al-Kahf just like it was revealed then it is
Noor (light) for the person on the Day of Judgement.’
[Collected by ad-Darmi, Al-Albaani said its chain is authentic, it has a supporting narration
from Sa’eed bin Mansoor. Even it is Mawqoof it has the ruling of Marfoo’ and it has a
connected chain from al-Bayhaqi, taken from Irwa al-Ghaleel No. 626]
Recommendation to recite Soorah Kahf
Question was asked to Shaykh al-Uthaymeen:
Is reciting Soorah al-Kahf on the day of Jummah or on Thursday night
a recommended deed?
The Shaykh answered:
'Yes, reciting Soorah al-Kahf on the day of Jummah is a
recommended deed. There is a virtue to this. There is no
difference if a person recites it from the Mus-haf (Qur'aan) or
from memory.’

Noor Between Two Jummas
From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri -RadhiAllaahu anhu- that the Prophet -sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam - said:
"من قرأ سورة }الكهف{ في يوم الجمعة؛ أ ضاء له من النور ما بين الجمعتين".
‘Whoever reads Soorah al-Kahf on the day of Jumma (Friday), light is
enlightened for him between the two Jummahs.
[Collected by Nisa’ee, al-Bayhaqi & graded Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb
no. 736]
Is-haaq bin Ibraheem said:
‘I went out with Abu Abdullaah (Imam Ahmad) to the main Masjid
and I heard him reciting Soorah al-Kahf.’
[al-Mughni 2/610]
Ameer as-Sanani (d. 1182 A.H.) said about the hadeeth:
‘Whoever reads Soorah al-Kahf on the day of Jumma (Friday), light is
enlightened for him…..’
‘This is light which Allaah casts into the persons heart, or in his sight,
or his insight, or in all his circumstances, or light which is raised for him
along with his deeds to the heavens, or that the Angels witness it, or
that he is raised in Paradise higher than others.

‘between the two Jummas.’ – for the whole week.’
Ibn Hajr -Rahimahullaah- said:
‘This is the strongest of what is mentioned about Soorah al-
Kahf.’
[at-Tanweer Sharh al-Jamia’ as-Sagheer, by al-Ameer as-Sanani]
Shaykh ul Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah was asked:
‘Is there a Hadeeth about reciting Soorah al-Kahf after Asr on the
Jumma day?
He replied:
‘There are narrations about reading Soorah al-Kahf on the
Jumma day which are mentioned by the Ahl ul Hadeeth and
Fiqh, however, they are general for the day of Jumma, I have not
heard that they are specific for after Asr, and Allaah knows best.’
[Majmoo al-Fatawa 24/215]
An-Nawawi said:
‘It is recommended to read the Qur’aan a lot on the day of
Jumma and its night, also the Adhkaar, to make Dua, send Salat
upon the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - and to read
Soorah al-Kahf during its day. Ash- Shafia’ee said in Kitab al-

Noor Between a Person and the Ka’ba
From Abu Sa’eed -RadhiAllaahu anhu:
"من قرأ سورة }الكهف{ ليلة الجمعة؛ أضاء له من النور ما بينه
وبين البيت العتيق".
‘Whoever reads Soorah al-Kahf on the night of Thursday, light is
enlightened for him between him and Bait al-Ateeq (the Ka’aba)’.
[Collected by ad-Darmi , al-Bayhaqi & graded Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh al-
Targheeb no. 736]
Ameer as-Sanani (d. 1182 A.H.) said about the hadeeth which
prohibits on specifying praying the night prayer on the night of Jumma:
‘The hadeeth is a proof of a prohibition of specifying the night of
Jumma for worship, and not a regular amount of recitation of
Qur’aan, except that which is mentioned in the text, like reading

Soorah al-Kahf, since it is mentioned to read it specifically during
Friday night.’
[Subal as-Salam 2/447]
From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri -RaadhiAllaahu anhu- from the Prophet -sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam - who said:
"من قرأ }الكهف{ كما أنزلت كانت له نورا يوم القيامة من مقامه إلى مكة، ومن قرأ عشر آيات من آخرها ثم خرج الدجال؛ لم يسلط عليه،
توضأ ثم قال: "سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك، لا إله إلا أنت، أستغفرك ومن، ثم طبع بطابع فلم يكسر إلى يوم القيامة".وأتوب إليك"؛ كتب في رق
‘Whoever reads ‘al-Kahf’ just as it was revealed then it is Noor
(light) on the Day of Judgement from a person’s place until
Makkah. Whoever read ten Ayaat from the end of Soorah al-Kahf
then when the Dajjal appears, he cannot overcome him.
Whoever performs Wudu then says, ‘Glory be to You O Allaah
and praise be to You, there is none worthy of worship except
You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.’ (Subhanak
Allaahumma wa Bihamdika, la illaha illa Anta, Astaghfiruka wa

Albaani graded it Saheeh Lighayri in Saheeh Targheeb no. 1473]
Protection from Dajjal
From Abul Darda narrates from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-
said:
»من حفظ عشر آيات من أول سورة الكهف عصم من الدجال«
‘Whoever memorises ten Ayaat from the beginning of Soorah al-Kahf
then he is protected from the Dajjal.’
[Collected by Muslim with this wording, & in the wording collected by Ahmad, Abu
Dawood, Nisa’ee:]
نة الدجال« »عصم من فت
‘ then he is protected from the Fitnah of Dajjal.’
[Collected by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Nisa’ee Authenticated by Al-Albaani]
Imam ash-Shafia’ee said:

‘It reached us that whoever read Soorah al-Kahf then he is
protected from the Fitnah of Dajjal. I love that there is an increase
a lot of sending Sallat upon the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - at
all times, and it is highly recommended on the day and night of
Jumma, and I love to read al-Kahf during the night and day of
Jumma, due to the reward which is mentioned about it.’
[Al-Umm 1/355]
Shaykh Al-Albaani said:
‘A benefit: It is mentioned in another Hadeeth an explanation of
this protection and guard which is mentioned in the hadeeth,
which is the saying of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- about
the hadeeth of the Dajjal:
......ف واتح سورة الكهف، ي قرأ عليه فمن أدركه منكم ف ل
‘So whoever from you comes across the Dajjal then he should
read upon him the opening of Soorah al-Kahf, since it is a
sanctuary against Fitnah.’

Muslim.

Tranquillity from Allaah
From al-Bara’ said:
‘A person read Soorah al-Kahf in presence of a riding animal in
his home, and it began to jolt and move around, the man looked
up and he saw a fog or a cloud which had surrounded it, and this
was mentioned to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, so he said:
ت ن زلت بلقرآن« »تلك السكينة
‘It is tranquillity which was sent for the Qur’aan.’

7. Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for
it, in order that We may test mankind as to which of them are best in
deeds. [i.e. those who do good deeds in the most perfect manner,
that means to do them totally for Allaah's sake and in accordance to
the way of the Prophet].

Our Signs?
ية إلى الكهف ف قالوا رب نا آتنا من لدنك رحة إذ أوى الفت

in Allaah and bestowed upon them patience to bear the separation of
their kith and kin and dwellings, etc.) when they stood up and said:
"Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, never shall we
call upon any deity other than Him; if we did, we should indeed have
uttered an enormity in disbelief.

17. And you might have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the
right from their Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the
left, while they lay in the midst of the Cave. That is one of
the Ayat (signs) of Allaah. He whom Allaah guides, is rightly guided;
but he whom He sends astray, for him you will find no Walî (guiding
friend) to lead him to the right Path.

18. And you would have thought them awake, while they were
asleep. And We turned them on their right and on their left sides, and
their dog stretching forth his two forelegs at the entrance [of the
Cave or in the space near to the entrance of the Cave (as a guard at
the gate)]. Had you looked at them, you would certainly have turned

19. Likewise, We awakened them from their long deep sleep that
they might question one another. A speaker from among them said:
"How long have you stayed here?" They said: "We have stayed,
perhaps a day or part of a day." They said: "Your Lord Alone knows
best how long you have stayed here. So send one of you with this
silver coin of yours to the town, and let him find out which is the good
lawful food, and bring some of that to you. And let him be careful and
let no man know of you.

no doubt about the Hour. Remember when the people of the city
disputed among themselves about their case, they said: "Construct a
building over them, their Lord knows best about them," then those
who won their point said (most probably the disbelievers): "We verily
shall build a place of worship over them."

prepared for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), a Fire
