The story of the people of the cave

 The story of the people of the cave..

Alhamdulillah, let's remind ourselves of the story of the youth of the cave.

This. Story is narrated in Quran for us to reflect that qiyaamah is real and will happen.

Allah s.w.t says in Qur'an,

Al-Kahf 18:10

[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."

Allah says,

Al-Kahf 18:13

It is We who relate to you, [O

 Muhammad], their story of the youth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.

These youth wanted guidance as there was a king who came to power and wanted people to worship their gods but these youth were strong in faith and so the king called them and gave them some days to change their faith.

These youth never knew each other but due to the faith in Allah, their hearts were united and decided to seek refuge inside a cave..

 There they slept and Allah s.w.t took their soul and protected them in their sleep for centuries. And some said 309years and were resurrected so Allah will test them on the days they slept.

So one said it is half day while other said it is only a day....

So they sent one of them to buy food for them and when he went out the society changed for him and saw different culture.

As he entered the market, they people started to be amazed and so chased him until he brought them to the cave. There, they saw the seven youth with their dog..

This was a wonder for the world and these stone is engraved near Jordan, Amman where they slept there.

May Allah guides our faith. Aamin
