🌸 *FRIDAY SERIES*🌸

❓ *QUESTION*❓
*Can I read just the first and last ten Aayaat of Surah al-Kahf on Friday instead of reading the whole Surah?*
🌿 *ANSWER*🌿
No. If you want to attain the rewards associated with reading Surah al-Kahf on Fridays, you must read the *WHOLE* Surah.
Why is that?
Reading Surah al-Kahf on Fridays is something recommended from the Sunnah according to the majority of the scholars.
🍃 Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the night of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah).”
(al-Daarimi 3407; saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jami’, 6471)
And:
🍃 “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”
(al-Mustadrak, 2/368; saheeh by al-Albaani in Sahih al-Jami’ al-Saghir 6346)
These ahaadeeth are talking about reading the Surah *as a whole* on Fridays, because of the special virtue of this Noble Surah and the great *lessons* it contains, while the ahaadeeth that talk about reading the first ten or last ten aayaat of Surah al-Kahf are SPECIFICALLY regarding PROTECTION from the *DAJJAAL*.
So this is a *SEPARATE* issue and should NOT be confused with the first.
🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever among you sees him (the Dajjaal), let him recite against him the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf.” (Muslim 5228)
🍃 And he ﷺ said:
“Whoever memorizes ten verses from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the False Messiah.”
In another narration, “…from the last ten verses of Surah Al-Kahf.” (Muslim 1342)
📌 These ten Aayaat of Surah al-Kahf can be read *ANY DAY.*
*Reading these ten Aayaat is NOT just restricted to Friday only.*
The Prophet ﷺ asked us to learn and memorize these aayaat of Surah al-Kahf as a protection against the Dajjaal and did not specify a time or day for them to be read.
But if we want to follow the recommendation to specifically read Surah al-Kahf on Fridays, and achieve the rewards associated with it, then we must read the WHOLE Surah.
And Allaah knows best.
