Let’s Read Surah Kahf today (Friday) — True Success

The story of the man with two gardens in Surah Al-Kahf (18:32–44) teaches a profound lesson about the dangers of arrogance, attachment to worldly wealth, and forgetting the Source of all blessings. The man became boastful over his lush gardens and assumed his prosperity would never end, even doubting the Hour. In contrast, his companion reminded him to say “Mā shāʾ Allāh, there is no power except with Allah” (18:39). When the gardens were destroyed, the man realized too late that reliance on wealth instead of Allah leads to regret. The lesson is clear: true success lies in humility, gratitude, and remembering Allah in times of both ease and difficulty.

Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. Aameen.
