Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Pray that we all benefit from amazing Al Kahf on this blessed day. To profit from Al Kahf, you might have to start with its recitation. For better effects, read and make sense of its translation. To accrue maximum benefits, try and understand its deeper meaning. You may never reach the bottom of it because of Al Kahf’s timelessness, profundity and vastness of subjects. Besides, a lifetime is not enough to dig deeper into this magnificent Al Kahf but as far as you could mange, shall change your world for good. In continuation of our series on discussing cluster of Ayahs, let’s explore the themes of Surah al-Kahf from Ayah 75-83.
So far in this surah, we have seen how Divine guidance was upheld by people in their youth (Kahf Boys) as well as how it was upheld by a person with wealth (Men of Two Gardens).
As we arrive at the story of Musa and Khizar AS, we will learn how Divine guidance is upheld by a person with knowledge. Throughout the story, we learn that there is a profound difference between knowledge and wisdom. Allah swt granted Prophet Musa AS knowledge of the book and instructed him to follow it. On the other hand, Khizar AS was given wisdom of the decree, and he was mandated to teach Prophet Musa AS how this wisdom manifested. In this section we learn that human beings cannot judge Allah’s decree based on what things appear to be at face value.
May Allah be our Guide. Ameen
