Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Why we need to connect to Al Kahf? Because our enemy it at work round the clock. In order to guard against an enemy who has sworn revenge in front of Allah swt, we need an elaborate and layered defensive system. We need protection between two prayers, between two days and between two weeksand so on. Prayer itself is a protection till next prayer. Four Qul and Ayat ul Kursi (minimum) is a protection between the night and day. Among other protections, third layer of protection is Al Kahf from Juma to next Juma. Recitation is enough for inciting Allah’s mercy and protection, however, it makes better sense and effect if you know what you are reciting. It may add conviction and help achieve approvals faster than we think. One final word, like medical treatment sequence i.e. diagnosis, prescription, managnent & cure. Recitation of Kalam Allah (personal opinion) guarantees protection ( problem management) but cure may lie in actions (Amal).
Today's Ayah No 71 marks beginning of an amazing journey containing three incidents having far reaching consequences. Recall previous four Ayahs 67-70 wherein the terms and conditions were agreed upon by the two living giants of that time i.e. Musa & Khizar AS. It was greatness of Musa AS that despite being Allah swt's favourite Rasool, He accepted ascendancy of Khizar AS in knowledge. Not only that he submitted himself in the company of Khizar AS like a humble pupil.
So they set out on a voyage. Khizar AS tore the ship apart. Musa AS couldn't resist and asked him if he wanted to drown people on board. Also declared his act as a grave one.
Response of Musa AS was natural. His query was genuine. His reaction was spontaneous.
So how did Khizar AS respond? We shall find out next week, Insha Allah.
