Reading Surah Al-Kahf every Friday is a powerful Sunnah with special blessings. Here’s why you shouldn’t miss it:
1. A Divine Light shining from the reader
It is reported on the authority of Abī Sa’īd al-Khudrī, that he said: “Whoever reads Sūrah al-Kahf on the night of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah).”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، أَضَاءَ لَهُ مِنَ النُّورِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ
