Similarities
between beginnings of Surah Israa' & al-Kahf.
Surah
Isra and Surah Kahf are the 17th and 18th Surahs in the Quran. Isra
has 111 ayaat, and Kahf has 110 ayaat.
Surah Isra begins with:
سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque...
And Surah Kahf begins with:
الحمد لله الذي أنزل على عبده
Praise be to Allah, Who has
sent to His Servant the Book...
Notice the
similarities and differences here? Both are glorifying and praising
Allah, and both are discussing revelation.
In Surah Isra, the
Prophet (sal-Allahu alayhi was-Sallam) is ascending
up to receive the revelation, and in
Surah Kahf the revelation is being
sent down.
Both of
them have the word ‘abdihi [His
slave].
