Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 110

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf one more time this Ramadan which might be a Juma tul Wida. Alhamdolillah, today we complete this series of Ayah by Ayah explanation for consecutive 110 weeks. It is really a special blessing and mercy of Allah swt that He made it possible. Pray that it is useful to people & Allah swt accepts the effort. Ameen
Today's Ayah No 110 is the grand finale of magnificent Al Kahf. If we keep in mind infinite attributes of The Author and endless bounties of The Surah, the finale is equally grand. 

It is emphasised in Ahadith to recite Al Kahf every Friday particularly first & last 10 Ayahs (First & last Rukuh).  Both these Rukuhs have subjective commonalities with eschatology.  Note that Dajjal when he appears towards the end of times, shall take after Jesus (Isa AS). In first Rukuh, Allah swt has taken serious note of people taking his beloved Prophet Jesus AS as his son. In current Ayah 110, Prophet SAW has been instructed categorically to clarify to his audience and rest of the humanity that he was only a man like the rest of the humans. Also Allah swt is only one God. 

Please note that the culmination of creation process is our meeting with the Lord, on the Day of Judgement. You  don’t want this meeting to go wrong because if this meeting goes wrong, we are doomed. Where would we go? What would we do? Where would we take refuge? Extremely scary prospect. So if you have the desire and hope to meet your Lord (which you will in any case) then persistently, do two things: one do righteous things. Two, avoid Shirk.

May we all have a happy meeting with our Lord. Ameen.
