The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Whoever recited Soorat AlKahf in the same manner in which it was

revealed, it will serve for him as a light on the Day of Judgment, from his domicile to Makkah. And whoever recited the last ten verses, and it happens that the Dajjaal should appear after that, Dajjaal will not be empowered over him. Al-Haakim 1/564 & Adh-Dhahabee

Abu Ad-Dardaa reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Anyone who memorizes ten aayahs from the beginning of Soorat Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal. Muslim, Riyaad As-Saaliheen by Imaam An-Nawawee 183 #1012 One narration says, from the end of Soorat Al-Kahf.

The Boats of Success

Good Companionship:
And keep yourself (O Muhammad) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, etc., and other righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost. Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 28

Knowing the Realities of Life:

And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter. And Alaah is Able to do everything. Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 45

The Boats of Success

Humility
He (Moses) said: "If Allaah will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.
Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 69

Sincerity
Say (O Muhammad): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah. So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.
Soorat Al-Kahf, aayah 110

Oh Allaah, save me from the trials, that which is obvious and that which is hidden

Finally . . .
Did you understand the secret of reading Soorat AlKahf every Friday? Did you realize its place in helping us understand the trials of this life, and the way to be saved from them? Do you now know its great importance for us in guarding us from the Dajjaal? So . . .there is no room for negligence in reading it every Friday, and of course following its commands afterwards.

Spread the word, as the one who guides to goodness is like one who does it
Wa as-Salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.
