“Whoever eats seven ‘ajwah dates in the morning will not be harmed by any poison or witchcraft that day.”Bukhari #5445, Muslim #2047
Ibn ul-Qayyim: “This hadith is addressed to a specific audience such as the people of Madinah and those living in that area.”Zad ul-Ma‘ad 4:90
It is fine to display pictures (or photos) of living people when there is a group photo but it is best to avoid featuring only one person in a prominent position in a way that leads to veneration (such as a poster of a celebrity). Drawing pictures of living things is fine since the prohibition is on making 3-d sculptures of living things.
Most scholars said it is virtuous to recite Surat ul-Kahf (chapter 18) on Friday. Friday begins on Thursday night after sunset and lasts until Friday before sunset, so it can be recited during that time period. Since the effort and function of someone who recites is different than one who listens, it probably doesn’t reap the same reward, but there is virtue in listening to the Qur’an so if someone is unable to recite it, then hopefully they will get a similar reward for listening to it.
