Surah al-Kahf is the 18th Surah of the Quran. This chapter was sent down during the Makkan period. It consists of 110 verses and is named after the story of the Surah Kahf u2013 Ashab Al-Kahf (people of the cave). Surah Kahf was revealed in response to certain u00adquestions that had been posed to the Prophet (PBUH).<br><br>Moreover, the purpose of its revelation is also considered to be that it lent moral support to the Muslims. The early Muslim community had been stricken by torture and oppression at the hands of the ruthless Makkan disbelievers. The Surah contains four stories of immense wisdom, which provide us with a variety of appropriate lessons.
