1- It is narrated by Abu Saeed al-Khurdi, who said: “Whoever reads Surah al Kahf on the night of Jummah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (Kabah).” (al-Jaami).

Dajjal will bring destruction to humans and havoc on the world, therefore, if one wishes to be safe during such times of adversity and annihilation, one must try to memorize the first ten verses of Surah al Kahf and recite them whenever the opportunity arises.
3- Moreover, Hazrat Ibn Mardwiyah Al Daiyaa (RA) said that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a hadith: “Whoever reads Surah al Kahf on yaumul Jummah, he is immune for 8 days from all fitnah that will happen. When the Dajjal comes out, he will be immune to him.”
