The Prophet ﷺ recommended reciting Surah Al-Kahf on Fridays, stating it casts a divine light (Noor) illuminating the believer between two Fridays and shields against Dajjal.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُ عِوَجًا
“All praise is due to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance.” (Surah Al-Kahf 18:1)
