Surah Al Kahf is the 18th chapter of the Quran, which we can find on page 294 in the Quran mushaf. It is a surah that contains wonderful teachings…

Salat Duha is a voluntary prayer, Sunnah Mu’akkadah (highly recommended) prayer that our Prophet ﷺ consistently encouraged. It…

Fasting during Ramadan is a tremendous act of worship, but the real success lies in whether it was accepted by Allah. Our Prophet (ﷺ) warned: “There are people who fast and get nothing from their fast…
