Key to Al-Kahf. Challenging Materialism and Godlessness

Surah al-Kahf (chapter of the Cave) comes exactly midway through the Quran, and covers four historical events and two parables. As many ahadith encourage the memorization and recitation of this surah, either in whole or part on Fridays as protection against Dajjal (the Anti-Christ), it is essential to understand this surah and to implement the antidote provided therein.

It includes a brief note on the phenomenon of Dajjal based on authentic ahadith. Based on a seminar paper presented by Khurram Murad in the 1980s, this concise presentation clarifies the dynamic ideas portrayed in the majestic Quran through an examination of Surah al-kahf. Abdur Rashid Siddiqui has edited the text and completed those sections that were not in the original paper. The authors have concentrated on the message that the Quran expounds from various episodes narrated in this surah.

Based on valuable material from authentic tafasir in Arabic and Urdu, the book provides a thematic study of Surah Al-Kahf. A commendable work, meeting the mindset and intellectual needs of the English-speaking young generation of Muslims in the West.
