Synopsis:

Surah al Kahf, like all the Surah’s of the Qur’an, is a wonderful summary of many different important subjects and reminders. It begins with the beautiful Tawheed of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta Alaa, and that those who attribute Him with a son or partner are in manifest error. Linked to this is the story of the companions of the cave, who fled from their oppressive community, and were made to fall into a deep sleep in a cave for many years.

We are then taken into the lives of two men that had been granted great wealth and luscious gardens, but one of them became arrogant and proud after success, so due to his arrogance, attribution of success to himself and ungratefulness to Allah, he lost everything. The arrogance of Iblis and his ingratitude is also mentioned in conjunction to the former parable.

The story of Musa Alayhis Salaam and Khidr Alayhis Salaam is also a great reminder about how we must have patience in adversity, as we may not fully comprehend the wisdom behind our tests.

Lastly the account of Dhul Qarnayn is mentioned, who helped a community build a barrier against Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog), who will return again in the end of time and cause much havoc.

All this and many more practical aspects of this amazing Surah will be touched up in this unique intensive course, helping us to take lessons from such narrations and embody various praiseworthy characteristics that will shape our character and make us more devout to our creator inshaAllah.
