Cave of Ashabe-Kahf exterior and interior

Cave of Ashabe-Kahf (exterior)



This is regarded as the cave in which a group of pious youths (equated with the Christian legend of the ‘Sleepers of Ephesus’) sought refuge from a tyrannical pagan king and in which Allah (ﷻ) caused them to sleep for 300 years. The cave is located in the suburb of Abu Alanda in Amman.

Apart from Amman in Jordan, the location of the cave is also claimed to be in Turkey city Izmir. And Allah (ﷻ) knows best.

To the left of the entrance is an ancient olive tree. At one time a small church was built on top of the cave; this was converted to a mosque with the mihrab still being visible above the entrance

Cave of Ashabe-Kahf (interior)

The main view above shows a section of the interior of the Ashabe-Kahf cave. The crafted stone blocks are tombs; one of them (left) has a viewing hole through which bones can be seen. The bones of the dog have also been displayed.

It is usually used for a place where persons have to travel through a pass in which someone is lying in wait to strike them. It is a place where someone lies in wait for an enemy, waiting for the perfect moment to ambush them. Allah (swt) is informing us that he is already in position and ready to attack the Quraysh.   No one should think that he can escape from the divine punishment, because all are under His authority and Power and whenever He wills, He may administer His punishment. Allah (swt) does not make clear to the disbelievers who the target is by not saying for example, ‘rabbaka la bilmirsaad  la hum   (for them) ’. By not specifying
