In het begin las ik de surah gewoon op, na een aantal maanden begon ik de vertaling erbij te pakken en wow, nooit gedacht dat ik de tafseer van de surah zou kunnen begrijpen. De vier verhalen in de surah zijn ontzettend leerzaam voor mij geweest. Iedere ayah heeft een boodschap, subhanAllah.
Ik weet niet wie de movement is begonnen door middel van de vele ''lees surah Al-Kahf op vrijdag'' topics, maar djazaak Allahoe ghayran hiervoor. Hiervoor las ik nooit de Koran, enkel de kleinere surah voor het slapengaan, nooit nam ik de tijd om uitgebreid een surah te bestuderen en om eerlijk te zijn geloofde ik ook niet dat ik het in mij had om de surah te kunnen begrijpen en te interpreteren. Maar met de wil van Allahis alles mogelijk.
Allah
Surah Al-Kahf aya 23 en 24 : And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

Tenslotte voor eenieder die zich afvraagt wat de vier verhalen in surah Al-Kahf zijn en waarom ze voor ons als les dienen:
1) The People Of The Cave
Its the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving town, so they decide to migrate for the sake of Allah and run away. -Allah rewards them with mercy in the cave and protection from the sun - They woke up and found the entire village believers.
MORAL:TRIAL OF FAITH.
2) The Owner Of Two Gardens
A story of a man whom Allah blessed with two beautiful gardens, but the man forgot to thank the One who blessed him with everything and he even dared to doubt Allah regarding the afterlife. So His garden was destroyed - He regretted ,but was too late and his regret did not benefit him .
MORAL:TRIAL OF WEALTH.
3) Musa(AS) and Khidr(AS)
When Musa(AS) was asked-“Who’s the most knowledgeable of the people of earth?"” Musa(AS) said:Me...,but Allah revealed to him that there’s someone who Knows more than him. Musa(AS) traveled to the man and learnt how the Divine Wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.
MORAL:TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE.
4) Dhul-Qarnayn
Its a story of the great King that was given knowledge and power and was going around the world,helping people and spreading all that's good.He was able to overcome the problem of Yajooj-Majooj and build a massive dam with the help of people whom he could not even understand.
MORAL:TRIAL OF POWER.
In the middle Allah mentions Iblees as the one who stirs these trials: Behold! We said to the angels "Bow down to Adam": they bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrongdoers!
