What is Surah Kahf About?
Surah Kahf is about the examples of individuals who followed divine guidance, and how such adherence spared them from the tribulations suffered by disbelievers.
Allah initiates the surah by recounting the narrative of the People of the Cave, portraying them as youth who recognized the necessity of distancing themselves from disbelievers and their surroundings to adhere to divine guidance.
