Here is a thread about Surah Al Kahf:

Its been a weekly routine for us to recite Surah Kahf every Friday, right? and we do it in most of the Fridays.

Now, have we ever wondered why Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked us to recite Surah Kahf every Friday?
Or is there any prefence for this surah over the rest 113 surahs? What& #39;s the benefit of reciting this weekly?

Lets check it out-

First of all, in this Surah Allah gives to us 4 different, but INTERESTING stories!
Lets explore them with lessons:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔘" title="Optionsfeld" aria-label="Emoji: Optionsfeld">1."The people of cave"

It’s the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving town, so they decide to migrate for the sake of Allah and run away. Allah rewards them with mercy in the cave and protection from elements of nature.
The lesson of this story is & #39;Trial of Faith& #39;https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❗" title="Rotes Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Ausrufezeichen">
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔘" title="Optionsfeld" aria-label="Emoji: Optionsfeld">2. "The owner of two gardens."

A story of a man whom Allah blessed with two beautiful gardens, but the man forgot to thank the One who blessed him with everything and he even dared to doubt Allah regarding the afterlife. So his garden was destroyed –
-he regretted it, but was too late and his regret did not benefit him.

Lesson of this story:
& #39;Trial of wealth& #39;https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❗" title="Rotes Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Ausrufezeichen">
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔘" title="Optionsfeld" aria-label="Emoji: Optionsfeld">3."Musa(as) & Khidr (as)"

When Musa(as)was asked “Who is most knowledgeable of people of Earth?” Musa(as) said that it was him as he assumed he was only prophet on Earth at that time. But Allah revealed to him that there’s someone who knows more than him about certain things.
*Musa (as)traveled looking for him and learned how divine wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.

And Lesson of this story:
& #39;Trial of knowledge& #39;https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❗" title="Rotes Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Ausrufezeichen">

And now to the FINAL one, its somewhat GLOBAL-
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔘" title="Optionsfeld" aria-label="Emoji: Optionsfeld">4."Dhul-Qarnyne"

Allah mentions story of a great king who was given knowledge and power travelling world helping people & spreading all that’s good. He was able to overcome problem of Yajooj-Majooj by building a massive dam with help of people whom he could not even understand
