Chapter 18 : The Cave, Verse: 10 ˹Remember˺ when those youths took refuge in the cave, and said, 'Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us rightly through our ordeal.' (10) Wherever you are, Allah is aware of your situation and condition. Take these youths for instance, the landscape had changed, the generations moved on, the currency had altered, all while they'd slept in the cave, for 300 years! There was a stark advancement in the era, everything changed, BUT Allah was always there taking special care of them, turning them from side to side, so their bodies would keep functioning. Moreover, Allah made sure they were getting adequate sunlight too. 'And you would have seen the sun, as it rose, inclining away from their cave to the right, and as it set, declining away from them to the left, while they lay in its open space. That is one of the signs of Allah' (17) 'And you would have thought they were awake, though they were asleep. We turned them over, to the right and left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance' (18) SubhanAllah. Also, from here we realise the emphaisis of how much Allah loves the efforts of worship from all his creation, yet the worship from the youth is dearest to Allah. A hadith states that, 'Whoever spends his youth in the worship of Allah, will be sheltered under the shade of the Throne of Allah on the Day of Judgment. It is mentioned in the Holy Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) said, 'There are seven whom Allah will shade on a day when there is no shade. . ... 2. A youth who grew up in the worship of Allah.' (Bukhari, Hadith: 660) May Allah accept us to be amongst them. Ameen

حسن الظن بالله حتي في أحلك الظروف والمحن ...فهؤلاء الفتية التجأوا الي كهف مظلم موحش لا يعرفون ما بداخله وأغلب الظن الحيات والافاعي وغيرها من الكائنات الضارة ولكنهم أحسنوا الظن بالله ودعوه سبحانه أن يهيأ لهم من أمرهم رشدا فزادهم هدي اذا ضاقت بك الدنيا فاعلم أن الملجا الوحيد الآمن هو أن تهرع الي الرحمن الرحيم تستغفره وتتوب إليه وتدعوه وانت محسن الظن به سبحانه وتعالى وانت علي يقين بأن الله لن يضيعك اللهم انت ارحم الراحمين فسبحانك والحمد لله رب العالمين
