Surah Al-Kahf (سورة الكهف, "The Cave") is the 18th chapter of the Quran, consisting of 110 verses (ayat). Revealed in Mecca, it is widely recited by Muslims around the world, particularly on Fridays. Significance in Islamic Practice
Friday Recitation: Islamic traditions (hadith) strongly encourage reciting Surah Al-Kahf every Friday, noting that it brings illumination/light (nur) from one Friday to the next.
Protection against the Dajjal (Anti-Christ): Prophetic narrations highlight that memorizing and reciting the first or last ten verses offers spiritual protection from the deceptions of the Dajjal, whose trials mirror the four tests of faith, wealth, knowledge, and power detailed in the Surah.
