A real Life story

Surat al-Kahf

I took two years to understand Surah Kahf and studied 120 Tafseers including Urdu and Arabic Tafseers and a Persian Tafseer.

We consider this surah to be only the incident of the people of the cave, but no one has looked at the real defendant.

So let's say the purpose of this Surah / Lab Labab or the central idea is that Allah tests people in this world with eight types of situations, honor, humiliation, health, illness, profit, loss, happiness, sadness.

Every person is always in one of these states. If these eight are divided, two will be divided in two situations. So either there will be good conditions or bad. That is, either the servant will be in honor or in disgrace. There will be either health or disease. So Allah tests in two situations either good or bad. That this person is thankful in good situations or not and patient in bad situations or not.

So two papers were made, one is the paper of gratitude and the other is the paper of patience. Now, if the servant thanked in good circumstances, he passed the paper and if he was ungrateful, he failed the paper. And if you were patient in the patience paper, you passed and if you were impatient, you failed.

This is a live exam where we have to give two papers, one on patience and the other on gratitude.

When Allah created Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) and also tested him in these two papers. The first was of thanks which were the blessings of heaven, the second was the fruit of the tree which was forbidden to eat, so it was a paper of patience in which Satan did not allow them to succeed.

There are five events in Surah Al-Kahf.

* The incident of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him).

This is the heart of this surah. The verses are few, so the reader's attention is not lost.

Before the incident of Adam, peace be upon him, there are two incidents of the common people, one of which was the Companions of the Cave, they were ordinary young people and they passed the test of patience and passed this paper and joined the popular servants, the second incident was the people of two gardens. It belonged to a person, it was also an ordinary person who was given wealth and wealth. His paper was of gratitude. If you want to give thanks for the blessings, it failed. After that, there is the incident of Adam (peace be upon him) and then there are two incidents of Khawas. A Musa (peace be upon him) said that the patience paper was taken from him and Sikandar Dhul-Qarnain had the paper of gratitude and he did not show arrogance and passed the paper of gratitude. In the same way, Allah takes patience and gratitude from the children of Adam.

Some points

※ Allah mentions His Divinity in the beginning of this Surah and ends by mentioning His Lordship.

※ In the beginning of the Surah, he mentioned the obedience of his Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, and concluded with his humanity.

※ The greatest height in the world for man is obedience. That is why a person remembers so that the love of Allah enters his heart. Now love is not meant to come, when love comes then the lover is always worried about pleasing the beloved. And what is pleasure is to be content with Allah's destiny, to be thankful if Allah sends good conditions and to be patient in bad conditions.

When the servant attains this position of pleasure, then he attains the position of obedience.

※ The word 'Abd' was used by Allah for His Beloved.

According to commentators, a slave is one who sees nothing but his master. According to some, a slave is one who does not disagree with his master in any matter, remains content in all situations, does not complain.

※ Since it is mentioned in hadiths to recite this Surah to protect against Dajjal. Because it protects us from it.

※ First, understand the meaning of Dajjal that it comes from Dajjal. There will be something else from inside and something else from outside.

In today's era, there is a similar antichrist culture that looks good from above, but there is something else inside. A war of faith and materialism is going on in today's age. Now in this era, if we want to save our faith, we also have to enter the cave. Yes in the cave!

※ In today's age, which are caves. If a person enters them, he can avoid the temptation of Dajjal.

Quran

Whoever gets attached to the Qur'an, starts reading, learning and understanding it, then he also saves his religion and the Qur'an becomes a cave for him.

Mecca and Medina

According to the hadiths, whoever enters them will also be safe from Dajjal.

By entering them, a person saves his faith and is protected from Dajjal.

Every incident in this surah teaches us a lesson on how we should protect ourselves from Dajjal.

※ The lesson learned from the story of the companions of the cave is that we have to take refuge in some cave to protect our faith so that we can save our faith and be safe from Dajjal.

※ This lesson was learned from the story of Mr. Jantin

That he should not ascribe to himself the wealth that Allah has given, as this gardener did and was seized and deprived of this blessing.

※ This lesson was learned from the incident of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) that this world is our eternal residence, our real homeland is heaven, it is foolish to live in the world and consider the world as our real homeland and to put all our efforts and all our hopes on the world. The wretched Satan drove us out of our original homeland by swearing small oaths, now here too he is our enemy and makes us sin so that we will not be able to go to heaven again. May Allah protect us from evil and bring us to our real home in Paradise. Amen

※ The lesson learned from the incident of Moses (peace be upon him) is that no matter how much knowledge we acquire in the world, there will be someone in the world who knows more than us.

Man can never cover the reality of things.

We will think that we know everything, then we will be caught in Dajjal Fitna, so Allah narrated the story of Musa (peace be upon him) so that we people do not think that we know everything, but rather say that Allah is the reality. know who

Knowledge is much more than what we don't have, that's why Surah Kahf protects a person from the temptation of Dajjal and makes his mind and makes such a mind that the mind of the servant is protected.

※ A lesson was learned from the incident of Hazrat Zul-Qarnain

Wherever Hazrat Dhul-Qarnain went, they were not friends, relatives or acquaintances because they did not even know their language, but still they helped those people because they were praying for the sake of Allah. Used to benefit the servants. They did not ask for any money etc. but when they said that we will give you money for it, they refused. The second is that they used to enforce God's law on God's land. When they were given the authority to treat this nation as you wish, i.e. punish them or treat them well, they called this nation to Allah and used their authority/power to enforce the law of Allah. .

※ In Surah Kahf, the servant's mind was made by describing the first five events and now in the last verses, the essence of this entire Surah is being described, which is three things:

1- Those who are engaged in creating the world are actually the ones who are going to lose. To always be worried about the world and its pleasures is Dajjal's temptation, so don't worry only about this world, but also think about the hereafter.

2- After that, Allah explained His attributes that if you describe the praises of this Lord and the sea becomes black and another sea is also thrown into it, you still will not be able to describe the praises of your Lord.

3- In the end, he told that whoever wants to see his Lord, which is the greatest and greatest blessing. Whoever does this, Allah will grant him His sight.

May Allah give us His vision too. Alham Amen

We are willing to wait, no matter what.

May they ever meet, may they meet somewhere, may they meet somewhere.
