Surah Al-Kahf - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 5: Bonus 19

This surah commands to say “if Allah wills,” or inshallah before speaking of future events. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this surah in which a rich man’s garden is destroyed after he denies the Day of Judgment. In this surah, a prophet breaks his promise not to question why a servant of Allah breaks a ship, kills a child, and fixes a wall for free.

ANSWER: Surah Al-Kahf [or The Cave Surah; accept Surah 18]

[10e] This prophet questions the man usually identified as al-Khidr in the cave surah. This prophet told Muhammad to ask Allah to reduce the daily prayers from fifty to five during the Night Journey, and also parted the Red Sea.

ANSWER: Musa [or Moses or Moshe]

[10m] Muhammad proved he was a prophet to some rabbis by reciting how this figure reached the ends of the earth in the cave surah. This figure built a wall to keep out Yajuj and Majuj, which Allah will tear down on the last day.

ANSWER: Dhu al-Qarnayn [or Dhū l-Qarnayn (“THOOL-car-NINE”); accept any answer that includes the words two AND horns; prompt on Alexander the Great or Alexander II or Iskandar or Sa’b Dhu Marathid or Cyrus the Great or Cyrus II; prompt on Dhu; prompt on Qarnayn]
