بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذى أَنزَلَ عَلىٰ عَبدِهِ الكِتٰبَ وَلَم يَجعَل لَهُ عِوَجا
Alhamdu lillahi allathee anzala AAala AAabdihi alkitaba walam yajAAal lahu AAiwajan
1. Praise be to Allah Who hath revealed the Scripture unto His slave, and hath not placed therein any crookedness
قَيِّمًا لِيُنذِرَ بَأسًا شَديدًا مِن لَدُنهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ المُؤمِنينَ الَّذينَ يَعمَلونَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُم أَجرًا حَسَنًا
Qayyiman liyunthira basan shadeedan min ladunhu wayubashshira almumineena allatheena yaAAmaloona alssalihati anna lahum ajran hasanan
2. (But hath made it) straight, to give warning of stern punishment from Him, and to bring unto the believers who do good works the news that theirs will be a fair reward
مٰكِثينَ فيهِ أَبَدًا
Makitheena feehi abadan
3. Wherein they will abide for ever
Surah Al-Kahf has 110 ayat and is a Meccan surah.
Al-Kahf means "The Cave". Contains four parables — the Cave, the two gardens, Moses and al-Khidr, and Dhul-Qarnayn — about wealth, knowledge and time.
