Ashab al-Kahf: The Sleepers of the Cave
The Story of the People of the Cave in the QuranBy Aira Aurora
Length1h 17m
About this audiobook
Ashab al-Kahf: The Sleepers of the Cave is the eighth book in the Nations and Peoples of the Quran series. Unlike the previous books covering destroyed or disciplined nations, this book covers a preserved people — the young men who fled idolatry and were sheltered by Allah in a cave for centuries. It traces the faith and flight of the youths, the sleep and the secret of the cave, the waking and the confusion, the world that changed while they slept, the dog at the threshold, the debate about the number and the wisdom of withholding, the sun and shadow as signs of preservation, the story as proof of the resurrection, and reflections on the faith of the few, the cave as the sanctuary of faith, the sleep as the ultimate trust, and the waking as the testimony.
