About the Surah

And (just like how We put them to a deep sleep and then woke them up with Our power) and thus We made (it) known to the people of the town about the people of the Cave (with Our power and wisdom). (One of the benefits of this event was that) they might know that Allah’s Promise is true and that there is no doubt about the Day of Resurrection. (Finally the people of the cave died there in the Cave). And (remember) when the people of their city disputed among them-selves about their matter, they said: “Construct a building over them. Their Crea-tor knows best about them.” Then those people who had dominating role, said: “We shall build a masjid over them.” (Masjid will remind others that the people of the Cave worshipped Allah. If another building is constructed, people may start worshiping that building in due course of time).
