Suhaib Webb – Surah Kahf: Introduction and Tafsir

About this lecture

In this introductory lecture on Surah Al-Kahf, Sheikh Suhaib Webb covers the foundations of Quranic tafsir — its methodology, its sources, and its practical relevance for Muslim communities in the West — before diving into the first five verses of the surah. He explores the historical context of the surah's revelation, the three major stories it contains and their timeless lessons, the virtues of reciting it, and a detailed explanation of the opening verses with insights into Arabic rhetoric, the honor of servitude to Allah, and the Qur'an's enduring relevance for every age.
