The final part of the story of the Seven Sleepers. Upon asking Allah “Shower upon us your mercy”, Allah responds by:

1. Granting them shelter in a cave

2. Allowing them to sleep a restful sleep

3. Making their sleep undisturbed

4. Situating the dog near the entrance of the cave to be as a deterrent / guard

5. Filling the heart of whoever came close to the cave with fear

6. Not letting the sunshine directly hit the cave during sunrise and sunset didn’t

7. Allowing them to toss and turn so their bodies were not lifeless

When they woke up and the word ‘walyatalattaf’ “وليتلطٌف” (found in the middle of the Quran) is mentioned. What can we derive from this word and how should we act at a time of weakness.

Where does the story of the 7 sleepers start in this surah? Why were they hiding, what Dua did they make to Allah and how did Allah respond? How many years passed in the cave? Why is it important to learn and understand the Arabic language? Allah refers to himself as “نحن” (We) what does this mean?

Why does Allah use stories in the Qur’an? An entire Surah has been named after the historical event of the ‘People of the Cave’. There are multiple stories in this Surah but ‘Al-Kahf’ was chosen as the name, what is their story? How do verses from this Surah protect against the anti-Christ?
