❖ The Virtue of Reciting Surah al-Kahf on Friday
✍ Written by: Imran Ayyub Lahori
✿ Recitation of Surah al-Kahf on the Day of Jumuʿah
Ḥaḍrat Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
من قرأ سورةَ الكهفِ في يومِ الجمعةِ أضاء له من النُّورِ ما بين الجمعتَينِ
“Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on the day of Friday, a light will shine for him between the two Fridays (i.e., until the next Friday).”
[Ṣaḥīḥ: Irwā’ al-Ghalīl: 626 | Bayhaqī: 24913 | Ḥākim: 2/368]
This ḥadīth clearly illustrates the immense spiritual benefit of reciting Surah al-Kahf every Friday, as it becomes a source of divine light and guidance for the believer throughout the week.
✔ It is thus recommended (mustaḥabb) for every Muslim to adopt this sunnah consistently.
