Al-Quran In English

Surah Al-Kahf

Surah Al-Kahf, also known as "The Cave of Wisdom", is a chapter in the Qur'an that is considered spiritually significant and contains guidance and lessons for believers. It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad encouraged Muslims to recite Surah Al-Kahf every Friday.

Surah Al-Kahf is significant because it:

  • Provides guidance: Addresses challenges faced by believers and offers guidance, solace, and moral teachings
  • Instills virtues: Stories within the surah aim to instill virtues such as faith, patience, gratitude, and reliance on Allah
  • Demonstrates heavenly bliss: Includes stories that demonstrate how the actions of believers lead to heavenly bliss, while the actions of disbelievers lead to disappointment and failure
  • Reminds of monotheistic faith: Serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of monotheistic faith in One God
  • Imparts lessons: Contains lessons on wealth, prosperity, and humility
  • Encourages charity: Encourages believers to engage in acts of charity and generosity
  • Protects from Dajjal: Reciting Surah Al-Kahf regularly can serve as a shield against the misleading influence of Dajjal, helping believers remain steadfast in their faith \

Some say that reciting Surah Al-Kahf on Friday can also bring other benefits, such as:

  • A light will appear between the reciter and the holy place of Makkah
  • The reciter's life will be lit and kept safe from one Friday to the next
  • Allah will forgive the sins of the person who recites Surah Al-Kahf until the next Friday 

Surah Maryam

Surah Maryam, the 19th chapter of the Quran, is significant for several reasons:

  • Shows part of the story of Jesus from an Islamic perspective
  • Emphasizes the importance of prayer and supplication to God
  • Discusses life after death, rewards of being kind to humanity, and explains the lifestyles of some important Prophets
  • Establishes and affirms the attribute of mercy for Allah
  • Reminds us of our relationship with Allah
  • Teaches important family lessons 

Surah Maryam begins by telling the story of Zechariah and the miracle of his heir, and also discusses the birth of Jesus and outlines some religious rules. The Surah was revealed by Allah to prove the dignity and nobleness of Hazrat Maryam (A.S), the mother of Hazrat Isa (A.S), among those who were cruel to her. 

Some important lessons from Surah Maryam include: Miracles can happen, Respect your elders even when disagreeing, Your family are a gift, and Righteousness isn't guaranteed.

Surah Taha

Surah Taha, also known as chapter 20 of the Qur'an, is significant for a number of reasons:

Stories

Surah Taha includes two stories, one about Moses and one about Adam, each broken into smaller sections.

Opening phrase

The opening phrase of Surah Taha is also the name of the chapter, Ṭā-Hā, which is an Arabic and Indian masculine name that means "the purest" or "peace".

Prophet's sayings

The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said that whoever recites Surah Taha will receive the reward of all the Muhajirun and Ansar on the Day of Judgment. He also said that whoever writes Surah Taha, places it in a green cloth, and takes it with himself to a proposal of marriage ceremony, his proposal will be accepted
