Faith Versus Materialism: The Message of Surat ul Kahf by: Sayed Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi

The methodology of reform evolved by God’s apostles is inspired by an unflinching faith and sincere conviction in the After-Life.

This exegesis of Surah al-Kahf explains, in the light of the Qur’an, the challenging issues of the modern times and what guidance we can get from this Surah to find a solution.
