Need help? Ask Allah

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim

Assalamualaikumwarrahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

All praises due to Allah who is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim.

How often do we find ourselves in a pit and the first person we phone to talk it out is our best friend/mum/dad/sister/brother etc? Not that s/he can help us out but we just want to get it out of our chests. Why can't we instead talk to Allah azzawajal and ask Him to help us out when we are going through trials? Afterall, Allah subhanahu wa Taala is the all hearing and the all knowing. He knows how to get us out of any kind of calamity. Not only do we feel like we've gotten things out of our chest, trust Allah that He will take care of matters for us.

"And when My servants ask you about Me, of course, I am near. I respond to the call of one when he prays to Me;'so they should respond to Me, and have faith in Me so that they may be on the right path." Surah Al Baqarah V 186

I came across a brilliant lecture by Abu ‘Abdis Salaam Siddiq Al Juyaanee found below:

I pray this will be the start of many reminders (to myself first) that can benefit us all. Amin.

The benefits of reading surah al-Kahf on Fridays

In his Mustadrak, Al-Hakim recorded from Abu Sa`id that the Prophet said:

Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on Friday, it will illuminate him with light from one Friday to the next.
Then he said: “This Hadith has a Sahih chain, but they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.”

Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi also recorded it in his Sunan from Al-Hakim, then he narrated with his own chain that the Prophet said:

Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf as it was revealed, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.

Peace be upon you... it's Jummah!
