Why Muslims read Al-Kahf on Friday

“Whoever reads Surah Al-Kahf on Friday, light will shine for him between the two Fridays.” Reported by al-Hakim and al-Bayhaqi; graded sahih by al-Albani (Sahih al-Jami' 6470).
“Whoever memorizes ten verses from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal.” Sahih Muslim 809.

In the Islamic calendar a day begins at sunset, so many scholars explain that the Friday reading can be done from Maghrib on Thursday until Maghrib on Friday.
