Today is Friday
We should read Surah Al-Kahf because it will protect us from the fitnah of Dajjal
That Dajjal,
The Dajjal is said to be the greatest deceiver of all time
How to protect?
No Idea?
Maybe I'll give a "fu" after reading, Dajjal will vanish!
This is our idea of Kahf!
Today this thinking power has disappeared
Those of us who were once in the driving seat, Today I am sitting in the passenger seat and complaining!
So today's writing about Kahf,
This little writing is really for yourself
I will give details another day, Inshallah.
First the question:
What characteristics does this 110-verse Surah of the Qur'an have that will protect us from the greatest deceiver of all time?
Kahf starts with a bang
"Thanks be to the One (Almighty Allah) who gave this book, A Book in which there is no crookedness, which doesn't bend over time!
Have you recalled?
Kissing scenes in the 90s. Then there were two roses intercrossed.
And now?
What was Morally Unacceptable in the 90s is now Morally acceptable!
That is, the standard of the censor board has been bent over time.
The question does not arise, is there a standard with time that does not bend?
Yes, Quran!
Then what? Brew wrinkled?
Wait, I'll tell you why.
The Qur'an speaks of "principals"
And this principle or ideal does not bend with time
Such as Morality, Purity, Honesty, Fairness, Generosity, Truthfulness, and Humanity
No matter where you live in the world, Rich or poor, small or big, black or white, regardless of who Obeys These Principles.
Because they have a power of their own.
In other words, The Qur'an is compared to a strong tree
A tree whose root or root is very deep, which cannot be swept by the force of tide.
A pole that you can grasp uncontrollably
This does not mean that you will not feel pressure
Do But it will protect you from lame audience trends.
Such as, If the question arises, Can the kissing scene be seen now?
Answer: Simple, Quranic Standard
"You can't even come close to obscenity!"
Understand the rest!
When the Dajjal comes
He's not going to make people subdue to gun points; He's going to seduce us.
He will start the trend, And most people will be swept away by that trend (We have already seen those enough).
When that time comes; Know this, The Qur'an will be our point of reference.
The first verse of Kahf indicates this.
Dajjal will seduce us from 4 dimensions, "Trust, Wealth, Knowledge and Power."
Check it out
These 4 dimensions are the basic needs of our life Get Involved
Even the 4 Natural Parts of Human Psychology, which are mind, body, heart, and soul.
Those are also related to it.
Allah presents these 4 dimensions in Surah Kahf through 4 case studies and tells how intellectually we can protect ourselves from the dilemma of these dimensions!
First Case Study: Religion or Beliefs
Here's how some of the youths went beyond social trends and kept their beliefs
Second Case Study: Resources
Here's how two owners argue over assets
Third Case Study: Knowledge
Here's how Prophet Musa went out to seek knowledge and what he learned from it
Fourth Case Study: Powers
Here is how Hazrat Zulkarnain used his power, power and talent.
How will Dajjal hit these fundamental aspects of humanity?
First of all, He will control the information, that is, start controlling knowledge (Artificial Intelligence)
He will manipulate the information and he will impress people with what he knows (Electronic gadgets)
Second
He will pocket the powerful people of the world. Then the governance of the world will be brought under his control.
Thirdly, He will (try to) control the economy, He will (try to) control the rain, then control the food produced from it, which will affect the whole economy (War between countries).
And finally, he will strike at the faith.
First, he will claim to be Jesus, he will show miraculousness. Bring out the grave of the dead relatives! And once upon a time, he will start claiming to be God (Allah).
He will seduce people to make everyone worship him!
Whether we like it or not, There is no doubt that these will happen
Therefore, it is better
We know the technique of tackling his seduction points.
Luckily, Allah has also told us the technique of its tackle after each case study.

First case study:
The case of Ashab al-Kahf
The defense technique that Allah has taught us about religion or faith is:
"Heaven with the honest, Doomed with evil."
Means
"You have to be with a group of people who Promote the good and demise the bad";
Allah helps us learn more
If the situation worsens, you have to migrate;
You have to be careful,
Small issues should not forget the main issue;
You need to understand the right priorities of things."
Second case study:
The story of two garden owners,
Here's what the Almighty (Allah) teaches us about wealth:
"Life is only for a few days, first, you need to understand what the purpose of life is."
You have to be happy with what you have, you have to have faith. The Almighty (Allah) is in control of the sustenance
Relationships cannot be ruined by the lure of wealth
You can't be proud,
The money we show so much, Allah could take it away at any moment. "
Third Case Study:
The Expedition of Moses,
The defense technique that Allah teaches us in the matter of knowledge is this:
"There will always be someone better than us
Therefore one cannot be arrogant
If necessary, you have to go out to acquire the right knowledge
You need to find good mentors
Accurate knowledge will make us humble
If not, you have to assume that there is a problem with the intake of knowledge
What we don't know about
You have to be patient about that
Because many times many events do not make sense,
Then you have to keep in mind that
Work in progress on the background,
What's happening is for the good. "
And the final case study:
Expedition of Hazrat Zul-Qarnain,
The power here is in tantric matters The techniques Allah teaches us are:
"If you have the power, you have to be sincere about it
If you have the power, you have to help people with it
Justice must be done for people's rights
You can't stop in life
Technical skills need to be developed
Instead of waiting for the miracle, we have to get down to work on our own
You don't have to work alone, you have to work in a team
Then we have to trust in Allah."
This is the 4 dimensions defense technique.
In the meantime, Allah also presents another reality
And that's the earliest history
Where did this conflict originate and Who is the mastermind of this?
The master of all dramas, that Iblis!
The objective of which is "Deceiving" us
The objective of which is to keep us from success and
The objective of which is keeping us from success
Dajjal will work for him.
If there is a gap in any of the 4 dimensions mentioned, Dajjal's co-workers will get us, so every angle is important.
Every Surah of the Qur'an has an objective,
Kahf's objective is "Protection"
In the past, people used to take shelter in caves from terrible danger
That is what Allah means by naming Kahf.
Kahf meaning cave
Means
When the dreadful Dajjal comes
"Kahf will be our protection!
So request, from now on, when you read Kahf, don't just read like a parrot
You must understand and read Tafseer with not just one's Tafseer,
Tafseer of different Mufassir; Tafseer of different scholars
If possible sit down with your notebook and take notes
Slowly you will notice with a surprise
What a great depth!
This approach is very much needed,
Because
Dajjal is a serious matter!
