📌
Have you ever had such a long nap that you woke up wondering what day it was? 😴
Now, imagine waking up after more than 300 years! 😲 That’s exactly what happened to a group of young believers a long time ago…
Let’s dive into one of the coolest stories from the Qur’an — the story of the Sleepers of the Cave! 🐾🏞️
📌
Once upon a time, there was a powerful king 👑 who ruled with harshness. He didn’t allow anyone to believe in Allah. People had to worship idols 😔. But a few young men stood strong. They believed only in Allah, the One True God. 💫
They didn’t shout or fight. They quietly left the city to protect their faith. They found a cave 🪨 outside the town and decided to rest there, asking Allah to protect them:
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
“Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance.”
(📖 Surah Al-Kahf 18:10)
And guess what? Allah answered their dua in an amazing way. He made them sleep peacefully inside the cave... not for one day... not even for a year…
But for 309 years! 🕰️💤
No one found them. Even their dog 🐶 lay at the entrance, guarding the cave. When they finally woke up, they had no idea how long they had slept. One of them said, “Let’s go get some food 🫓, but be careful not to be seen!”
But when they went to the city, everything had changed! The people were kind and believing, the buildings looked different, and even the money they used was from hundreds of years ago! 💰
Everyone was amazed to hear their story. It became a sign from Allah – showing how Allah protects those who trust in Him 🌟.
📌
💡 Always believe in what is right, even if you’re the only one.
💡 Allah listens to our duas and protects us in wonderful ways.
💡 Even if things around us are scary, we should hold tightly to our faith.
💡 Time is in Allah’s control – He is the Master of everything!

📌 Verses from the Qur’an :
إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةًۭ وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًۭا – فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ فِى ٱلْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًۭا – ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَىُّ ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوٓا۟ أَمَدًۭا
