Surah Al Kahf has many virtues. It is a Sunnah to recite this Surah every Friday. As well as this, it is reported in hadith (below), that whoever memorises the beginning of this Surah will be protected from the Dajjal.
This painting has those ten Ayats. The ten Ayats from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf are translated as follows:
"Whoever memorizes ten Ayats from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal." [Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and At-Tirmidhi]
This painting has those ten Ayats. The ten Ayats from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf are translated as follows:
[All] praise is [due] to Allah , who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance. [He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward. In which they will remain forever. And to warn those who say, " Allah has taken a son." They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie. Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow. Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed. And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground. Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder? [Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
