Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 21-24Verses 25-27

      Soon after, the incident of the God-fearing sleepers, tingled in the ears and became a general topic of conversation in the whole area!

      When the one who was out to buy food, saw the form and feature of the town, after a period of three hundred years, he was struck with astonishment! For an instant which seemed to him long enough he thought that he was asleep, and that he was dreaming! But he rubbed his eyes, and made sure that he was awake, but everything in the town had suddenly changed!

      On the other hand his own form and feature was ridiculous in the sight of the townsfolk. His clothes, and the material of which it was sewed, the style of his hair, and astonished and astonishing countenance, were all amazing in the eyes of the citizens! Some men, women, and children pursued him to know what sort of a creature was he!

      When he bought some food in a shop and paid the coin the shop manager gazed at him with wonder, seeing the coin with the marks of Daghyanus engraved on itِ a coin of three hundred years past! Here the youth came to know how long he and his fellow sleepers have slept.

Their news exploded in the town the explosion of an atomic bomb! The sleeper hastened back to the cave and informed his fellows of what really had happened to them, and they all became intoxicated with wonder! When they came to themselves and knew that all their kith and kin had been died hundreds of years past, they found no use to live any longer. They therefore prayed to God to have them dead once again. When the townsfolk rushed to visit them, they found them all dead!

      Some historians have related that, a just, kind, democrat, ruler was governing the people in that time, but people did not believe in the Corporeal Resurrection of Man after death. But now everything about the Resurrection Day was made clear through the raise of the sleepers:ِ

      ``And so did We disclose them to the people to know that Allah's promise is true and there is no doubt in the hour of Resurrection and Final Judgement.''

      The youths could not judge about the duration of their stay in the cave. The townsfolk too, did not apprehend the importance of the incident, and argued about the monument that they wanted to build upon their cave, and finally they agreed to construct a Mosque there.

      See that, instead of considering the spiritual dignity and veneration of the matter, the argument went on about their number plus their dog, while the real point here is the spiritual lesson that should be taken of them:ِ

      ``.... Remember when the people were disputing among themselves about them, then they said; build a building of monument upon them.... But those who prevailed on the matter said; we will build a mosque over them.''
