Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday): The Prophet’s Grief and Love for His Ummah

Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday): The Prophet’s Grief and Love for His Ummah

In Surah Al-Kahf (18:6), Allah says: “Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.” 

This ayah reveals the deep anguish and sorrow our beloved Prophet ﷺ felt over the disbelief of his people—not for himself, but out of love and mercy for them. 

His concern was not limited to his contemporaries but extended to his entire ummah, including us today. His love was so immense that Allah had to console him. 

In the very next ayah, Allah reminds us that this world’s adornments are a test, highlighting that while the dunya may distract, the best among us are those who excel in righteous deeds. 

Rabiʿ al-Awwal, the blessed month of the Prophet’s birth ﷺ, is a time to reflect on his unmatched love for us—and to ask ourselves: How do we show our love for him? 

True love for the Prophet ﷺ means following his Sunnah, embodying his mercy, reviving his teachings, and spreading his message with sincerity. It means sending abundant salawat upon him and striving to be among those “best in deed.” 

Let this month be one of renewal, connection, and devotion to the one who never stopped caring for us.
