Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf. If possible recite whole or part of it this weekend in order to strengthen defences around yourself and your family. Because the enemy had not minced his words in Allah's Court when he avowed to attack us left, right, behind, center and below. Understand that his attack is from all dimensions and we need equally strong defences against such enemy. Hadith of Aqa Alaihe Salato Wassalam tells us that Al Kahf is one such strong layer of defence.
Today's Ayah No 74 starts with both great men setting off for the next phase of their journey. In first phase Khizar AS broke down a ship with people on board. In this phase of journey, they come across a youngman and Khizar AS killed him. In normal circumstances, a shocking thing. No wonder, Allah's great Rasool, Musa AS couldn't resist and remaked that why was a young man killed without reason. He questioned Khizar AS that the boy didn't apparently killed anyone, so why was he killed? He also declared the act as deplorable.
Those familiar with Al Kahf or following this series know that Hazart Musa and Khizar AS set few rules of the game before setting off on this journey together. There were only two conditions put scross by Khizar AS and agreed upon by Musa AS that he should observe quietly and speak only when asked.
During this journey, three incidents that took place. First was about breaking of a ship by Khizar AS with people on board. Second we are discussing in this Ayah and one is yet to come.
Yet again, Musa AS who behaved naturally when he reacted on killing of young man but violated the agreement with Khizar AS.
How Khizar AS responded on this? Did they continue on this journey? And if they did, then what was fresh understanding and terms of journey? All these questions shall be answered next week with brand new Ayah.
Till that time may Allah keep you and your family safe. Ameen
ماشااللہ
