مُسلماں ہے عطاؔر تیری عطا سے      ہو اِیمان پر خاتمہ یا اِلٰہی

 صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب             صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! It is stated in ‘Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan: He was a pious person whom the king Daqiyanoos had assigned the task of killing Ashab-e-Kahf رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم. He got engraved the names of Ashab-e-Kahf رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم, how many they were, and their whole incident on a small wooden board and after placing it in a copper box, he buried it in the foundation of a wall. It has also been mentioned that a similar small wooden board was preserved in the royal treasury too.

After some time, the king Daqiyanoos died and kingships kept changing until a very kind-hearted and just person, named ‘Baydroos’ became the king. He ruled the country for sixty eight years gloriously. During his reign, conflicts and riots broke out and some people denied believing in the Resurrection and the Day of Judgement. The king confined himself to a home, alone, and implored earnestly in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with tearful eyes: ‘O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ), reveal such a sign that people start believing in the Resurrection and in the Day of Judgement.’ In the same era, a shepherd selected the same cave (in which Ashab-e-Kahf were present) to provide his goats with shelter. With the help of a few people, he then demolished the wall. As the wall fell, the people who demolished the wall recoiled in utter horror and ran away. By the command of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Ashaab-e-Kahf رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم happily woke up from sleep. They were fresh, happy and lively, exchanged Salam and then stood for Salah. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 5, pp. 542)

Avoid Fitnahs and protect others too

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! The person who migrates for the protection of his religion and faith, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protects him with His Ghayb [i.e. unseen] which astonishes even the intellectuals. As Ashab-e-Kahf also turned away from the people for the sake of protecting Islam and they took refuge in the cave, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protected them in it by causing the fear of cave in the people’s hearts that’s why no one could get to Ashab-e-Kahf. We should also stay away from
