" The people of the cave – A Test of Faith"
There was a group few young people who belived in Almighty Allah . It was for their faith they were forced to leave their homes. They left their homes and found a cave to rest in. They felt asleep for approximately 300 years and all they felt was as if they have slept for just a day when they woke up.
One of their campanions went in search of food. He left the cave and went into the town or village market. The people in the market found him different from the people around. He wanted food in exchange of a coins which were outdated. This was in itself an indication for the people who saw him in the market and for the men of the cave aswell that they slept 300 years approximately without food and water.
There is no mention of number of men who were in the cave in Holy Qur'aan. However, in Bible (" The seven sleepers of the Ephesus" ) they are believed to be seven in number.
Note: The theme of this historic event is that, Almighty Allah will Protect those who have belief in his majesty even in toughest of the circumstances.
