[font=times new roman]THE PEOPLE OF THE CAVE[/font]
_Episode 1_
Allah the Almighty says:
{Do you think that the people of the Cave and the Inscription
(the news or the names of the people of the Cave) were a wonder
among Our Signs? (Remember) when the young men fled for refuge
(from thei 8)r disbelieving folk) to the Cave. They said: "Our
Lord! Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us
our affair in the right way!" Therefore, We covered up their
(sense of) hearing (causing them to go in deep sleep) in the
Cave for a number of years. Then We raised them up (from their
sleep), that We might test which of the two parties was best at
calculating the time period that they had tarried. We narrate
unto you (0 Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) their story with
truth: Truly they were young men who believed in their Lord
(Allah), and We increased them in guidance. And We made their
hearts firm and strong (with the light of Faith in Allah and
bestowed upon them patience to bear the separation of their kith
and kin and dwellings.) when they stood up and said: "Our Lord
is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, never shall we call
upon any llah (god) other than Him,' if we did, we should indeed
have uttered an enormity in disbelief."These our people have
taken for worship alihah (gods) other than Him (Allah). Why do
they not bring for them a clear authority? And who does more
wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah. (The young men
said to one another): "And when you withdraw from them, and that
which they worship, except Allah, then seek refuge in the Cave;
your Lord will open a way for you from His Mercy and will make
easy for you your affair (i.e. will give you what you will need
of provision, dwelling)." And you might have seen the sun, when
it rose, declining to the right from their Cave, and when it
set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the
midst of the Cave. That is (one) of the Ayat (proofs, evidences,
signs) of Allah. He whom Allah guides, he is the rightly
guided,' but he whom He sends astray, for him you will find no
Wali (guiding friend) to lead him (to the Right Path). And you
would have thought them awake, whereas they were asleep. And We
turned them on their right and on their left sides, and their
dog stretching forth his two forelegs at the entrance [of the
Cave or in the space near to the entrance of the Cave (as a
guard at the gate)]. Had you looked at them, you would certainly
have turned back from them in flight, and would certainly have
been filled with awe of them. Likewise, We awakened them (from
their long deep sleep) that they might question one another. A
speaker from among them said: "How long have you stayed (here)?"
They said: "We have stayed (perhaps) a day or part of a day."
They said: "Your Lord (Alone) knows best how long you have
stayed (here). So send one of you with this silver coin of yours
to the town, and let him find out which is the good lawful food,
and bring some of that to you. And let him be careful and let no
man know of you. "For, if they come to know of you, they will
stone you (to death or abuse and harm you) or turn you back to
their religion; and in that case you will never be successful."
And thus We made their case known (to the people), that they
might know that the Promise of Allah is true, and that there can
be no doubt about the Hour. (Remember) when they (the people of
the city) disputed among themselves about their case, they said:
"Construct a building over them,. their Lord knows best about
them,." (then) those who won their point said (most probably the
disbelievers): "We verily shall build a place of worship over
them." (Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth
among them; and (others) say they were five, the dog being the
sixth, guessing at the unseen; (yet others) say they were seven,
and the dog being the eighth. Say (0 Muhammad (Peace be upon
him)): "My Lord knows best their number; none knows them but a
few." So debate not (about their number) except with the clear
proof (which We have revealed to you). And consult not any of
them (people of the Scripture -Jews and Christians) about (the
affair on the people of the Cave. And never say of anything, "I
shall do such and such thing tomorrow." Except (with the
saying), "if Allah will!" And remember your Lord when you forget
and say: "It may be that my Lord guides me unto a nearer way of
truth than this." And they stayed in their Cave three hundred
(solar) years, adding nine (for lunar years). Say: "Allah knows
best how long they stayed. With Him is (the knowledge on the
Unseen of the heavens and the earth. How clearly He sees, and
hears (everything)! They have no Wali (Helper, Disposer of
affairs, Protector) other than Him, and He makes none to share
in His Decision and His Rule."(Al-Kahf 9-26)
