Is listening to Surat Al-Kahf on Friday considered to have the same reward as reciting it?
The reward for reciting Surat Al-Kahf on Friday is for those who recite it, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on the day of Jumu'ah (Friday), a light will shine for him between the two Fridays." As for one who listens to it, he is not considered a reciter, so he must recite it to obtain the reward. However, for one who cannot recite well and listens to it seeking the reward, it is hoped that he will receive the reward of the reciter due to his good intention.
