THE MEANING OF THE LIGHT OF TWO FRIDAYS AFTER READING SURAH AL KAHF
The sunnah of reading Surah Al-Kahf has the benefit of reading it, namely getting light on two Fridays.
What exactly does the light of two Fridays mean?
The sunnah of reading Surah Al-Kahf is contained in a hadith of the Prophet Shalallahu Alaihi Wasallam
عن أبي سَعيدٍ الخُدريِّ عنِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم أنَّه قال مَن قَرَأَ سورةَ الكَهفِ يومَ الجُمُعةِ أضاءَ له من النورِ ما بَينَ الجُمُعتينِ (رواه الحاكم)
From Sa'id bin al-Khudry from the Prophet Shallallaahu'Alaihi Wasallam said, "Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on Friday then he will be illuminated by light between the two Fridays."
(Narrated by Al-Hakim)
The virtue of reciting Surah al-Kahf on Friday is that the one who recites it will be covered in light on two Fridays, the Friday of the day he reads it until the following Friday.
That is, the servant will be covered in light for one week.
But what does the light of two Fridays mean? Does it really mean then?
In Syarh Sahih Muslim, Imam Nawawi explains that the light referred to in this hadith is a light that prevents him from committing immoral acts, vile deeds, and shows him the path of truth.
Because light is something that illuminates darkness and makes our eyes see something, the meaning of light itself is a clue.
Another opinion states that the light referred to in the hadith is the light that will guide the reader on the Day of Judgment.
There is also an opinion that says that the light here is the light of ma'rifat, and the light that illuminates the heart, as well as the light that reveals the essence of Allah.
Meanwhile, Imam As-Syaukani Rahimahullah in Tuhfatu adz-Zakirin interprets that light is a reward that will continue to flow for its readers for one week.
Some scholars also argue that the light referred to in this hadith is the light of forgiveness that occurs for one week from the Friday he reads until he meets the next Friday.
Those are some of the opinions of Scholars about the meaning of light between two Fridays for whoever reads Surah Al Kahf.
May it be made easy for us to istiqomah in reading Surah Al-Kahf every Friday.
