About this episode

Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif discusses the journey of Mūsā (AS) in seeking knowledge as depicted in Surah Al-Kahf.

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains verses 60–70 of Surah Al-Kahf, where Allah ﷻ begins the powerful journey of Mūsā (AS) in search of knowledge. Mūsā (AS) sets out with determination, refusing to give up until he reaches his مقصد. Along the way, a small moment the loss of a fish becomes the sign that leads him to where he needs to be. There, he meets a servant of Allah ﷻ, blessed with special knowledge. Despite being a Prophet, Mūsā (AS) approaches with humility, asking to learn. He is reminded that true knowledge requires patience, especially when things do not make immediate sense. These verses teach us that seeking knowledge is a journey of humility, patience, and trust in Allah ﷻ even when we do not fully understand what is unfolding.
