Page 13 - Signs of the End Times in Surat Al-Kahf

HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

One reason why the Prophet (saas) recommended reading Surat al-
Kahf is that it contains very important signs pointing to the End Times.
Surat al-Kahf contains the signs required for the believers' defense and
fight against the Dajjal and the irreligious movements bringing so
much evil to humanity, which he wants to spread around the world, as
well as many lessons from which the Muslims can learn. Our Prophet's
(saas) recommendation to memorize and read this sura attentively is a
clear indication of this. As we will see throughout this book, the experi-
ences of Ashab al-Kahf in an unbelieving world, the lessons Prophet
Musa (as) learned from Khidhr (as), and Dhu'l-Qarnayn's (as) rule over
the world, established to disseminate Islam's values, are matters upon
which the believers need to reflect.
We will explain the reasons behind these events so that readers can
ponder and meditate upon Surat al-Kahf, which contains very impor-
tant signs for today, in order to gain insight into these secrets and to
abide by the Prophets' (saas) advice. Attentive readers will see that this
sura bears the signs of the End Times, a time near the Hour, during
which the practices of systems of unbelief and falsehood become wide-
spread and Allah sends forth the truth to destroy them.
By Allah's will, this time is very near, so much so that it has become
crucial for people to reflect upon this matter. Thus, Muslims must pon-
der Surat al-Kahf carefully, bear its verses in mind, and analyze each
verse in light of the Qur'an's other verses.
