Through four beautiful narratives (the People of the Cave; the Man with Two Gardens; Musa and Khidr; and Dhu al-Qarnayn), this Surah not only summarizes the whole religion of Islam, but also teaches a number of important lessons.
Beginning with the role and function of the Prophet Muhammed (SAW), it goes on to highlight the need for Muslims to show genuine concern for humanity at large.
The importance of genuine knowledge, and the necessity to take it only from qualified teachers who have taqwa, is also highlighted - showing that the highest form of knowledge is that which is acquired through God - consciousness and utter submission to the Will of Allah (SWT).
The Surah also indicates that believers must always strive against their egos and attribute nothing of the blessings and bounties they possess to their egos or knowhow. One must always remember that Allah is the master of the whole universe and everything that happens in it is under his control, no matter how good, bad or difficult it might appear.

The Qur’an is full of parables. Each one, when its meaning is unpacked and understood, offers wisdom and guidance. Surah Kahf, chapter 18 from the Qur’an, is particularly thought provoking, and Muslims are advised to read it at least once a week.
But why? And what can we gain from it?
In this book Yasir Qadhi leads us through Surah Kahf, unfolding the lines, stories and symbols that have inspired people for over a thousand years: the people of the cave, Prophet Musa’s momentous encounter with Khidr, the two men and their gardens, and Gog and Magog.
And surely We have explained matters in people in the Qur’an in diverse ways, using all manners of parables. (Qur’an 18:54)
Through Yasir Qadhi’s unmistakeable voice, modern Muslims may glimpse some of the Qur’an’s profound meaning.
Say: “If the sea were to become ink to record the Words of my Lord, indeed the sea would all be used up before the Words of my Lord are exhausted…” (Qur’an 18:109)

On Friday, August 16, 2013, twenty-six-year-old Amr Kassem attended a peaceful protest in Alexandria, Egypt along with thousands of others, rallying against the mass injustices taking place in the aftermath of the coup d’etat by the Egyptian military under the command of Abdel Fattah al_sis. As Kassem returned home to his family, an Egyptian army sniper shot and killed him, leaving a woman widowed and a child fatherless.
A Temporary Gift is a record of journal entries written by Kassem’s widow, Asmaa Hussein, during the two years following his departure from this world.
This book is about re-learning how to live in the face of immense trauma. It is a reminder that beyond the pain and darkness of loss there is still the potential of light in patience and constancy.
The Quran, the sacred scripture of Islam, is revered as the spoken word of God by approximately one-fifth of the world’s population. Since its inception, the power of the Quran has derived not only from its message, but also from the inimitable literary style and rhetorical impact that the Arabic scripture has on its audiences. Divine Speech: Exploring the Quran as Literature attempts to make some of the most recent Arabic and European-language scholarship on its literary features accessible to a wider, English-speaking audience. These features include its language and word choice, its use of figures of speech and other rhetorical devices, its manner of narrating parables and stories, and the structure, coherence, and the order of its “chapters”-aspects that typically remain mysterious to readers of English translations of the text. Divine Speech furnishes its readers with a better appreciation of the Quran from a literary perspective, and in the process stimulates interest in, and provides tools and resources for, further study of the scripture.
There was a real need to inform the public of the importance and need of getting one's financial matters sorted out according to Islam, drawing up one's will and distributing one's estate according to Sharee'ah. Alhamdulillah, this has been very ably done by Moulana Muhammed Ilyas Patel in this booklet.

HAZARAT MOULANA HAROON ABBASSOMAR SAHEB
In reality the Mubarak Seerah of our beloved Nabi-e-Kareem is the holy Qura'an in practice, but since the Holy Quraan contains only the basic principles we have to find its detailed interpretations and actual implementation through the sayings and deeds of Nabi-e Kareem(SAW) It is therefore imperative for us to study the Mubarak Seerah of our Nabi Kareem whose greatness is unparalleled and who is a mercy for both the worlds. This is the only path through which we can attain success in both the worlds.
The companions of Rasulullah had followed the Seerah meticulously and thereby became the torch bearers of Hidayah throughout the world.
The solution to all the problems of mankind lies in following the Mubaarak Seerah of our Nabi-e-Kareem (SAW) which is most comprehensive all encompassing, perfect and practical for all times and places
May Allah Ta'ala accept this effort of Hazrat Moulana Moosa Olgar and make it a source of inspiration and benefit for generations to come, and make us all ardent followers and lovers of the Mubarak Seerah of Rasulullah .
