7-DAY FRIDAY / AL-KAHF PLAN
This learning plan covers all 110 verses of Al-Kahf over the first six days, then returns to the first ten verses on day seven. Days one and two cover the People of the Cave and the surrounding passages; day three follows the two gardens, day four worldly life and judgment, day five Moses and Al-Khidr, and day six Dhul-Qarnayn and the surah’s closing. On day seven, revisit the opening and review the week’s themes. You can begin on any weekday and take extra time when needed. Because the first story crosses the boundary between days one and two, rereading the previous day’s closing verses can help preserve the connection. This week-long study is distinct from reciting the whole surah on Friday; it does not claim to replace that practice or fulfill the report associated with it. The separate Friday-reading guide below discusses timing and sources. This plan is for learning the narratives in context and building regular review. Progress is saved in this browser, so you can resume from any day.
