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)
