The Youngs And The Cave

Dewan Musa

Don't think that, the people from the cave and Rakeem are wonderful among My signs. When the youngs took shelter in the cave, they said that, 'My Lord, flavored your kindness by Your Own hand, and conduct us through right path.' - The Almighty

Long time ago, there lived some young people who started believing in The Almighty against the beliefs on fake lords at that time, that were made by stones and soil or similar. When they expressed their thaughts about The Almighty, everyone became angry with them and also decided to kill them. One day The Lord had shown them the way to go to a cave, where they can save their lives and pray. But after a while they got asleep, and when they awakened, they thaught that they were sleeping only for a while, where they were sleeping for Hundreds of years. The Lord Himself described the story as follows....

Then I keep them slept for some years, later I awakened them to know, which one of the two troops are able to verdict the duration of their stance.

They stood up and said, 'our Lord is the Lord of sky and earth, we will never pray to other one except our Lord. If we do, that will be outrageous mostly. It is our agnates, who choose other lords to pray, why don't they present clear evidence to prove their lord. Who is more merciless than him, who lies about The Lord.

When you separated from them and their lords, to whom they pray except The Almighty, then take shelter in the cave. Lord will spread out kindness to you, and your works will be effective to you.

And you will see when the sun rises, it move away to the right of their cave, and cross from the left when sets. Nonetheless, they were in the wide space inside the cave at that time. It's all the signs of The Almighty, he, who see right pathway by Lord, he get that. And he, who become pathless by Him, you will never find any guide or guardian to him.

If you saw them you fled away turning back, and got panic fear of them. I awakened them with this condition, so that they ask each other.

One of them said, how long you stayed? They said, 'one day, or part of it, some of them said, 'Your Lord knows better how long you satyed here'. Send someone of you to the town with coins, ask him to look out for any better food, and bring some food from there for you.

Ask him to do it technically and let not anyone to know about them, if they find you, they will kill you throwing stones or will return to their religion and that will not be good for you. That's the way I made humans know about the news of them, so that they knew that, the promises by Almighty are true and no doubt about the Judgment Day.

When they were in a controversy about their obligation to them (the youngs), ,then many among them said that, 'make a monument on them'. Their Lord knows better of them.

Say, my Lord knows well about their figure, very few know about their figure. Do not debate on them except general discussion, and don't ask any of them. Never say about anything, 'I shall do that tomorrow', but say, if The Almighty wants. If you forget, then remember your Lord and say, 'May be my Lord will give directions closer to the truth, than the description of the cave dwellers.

They were in the cave for 300 years, and 9 years more. You say, The Almighty knows very welly how long they were there. He holds the knowledge of the obsecures of sky and earth. How beautiful viewer and audience he is!

Say, my Lord knows well about their figure, very few know about their figure. Do not debate on them except general discussion, and don't ask any of them. Never say about anything, 'I shall do that tomorrow', but say, if The Almighty wants. If you forget, then remember your Lord and say, 'May be my Lord will give directions closer to the truth, than the description of the cave dwellers.
