إِذۡ أَوَى ٱلۡفِتۡیَةُ إِلَى ٱلۡكَهۡفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَاۤ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةࣰ وَهَیِّئۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَمۡرِنَا رَشَدࣰا
The Surah answers some questions that the Mushrikin of Makkah posed to the Prophet (saw). The answers came in a very clear way and also challenged them to accept the message of Islam. In this Surah we have the stories of: the People of the Cave, the man who had two gardens and was very proud of himself, Prophet Moses with a special teacher, Dhul-Qarnain a pious ruler. These stories are told to emphasize the value of faith, knowledge and patience and the relativity of time.
جب وہ چند نوجوان غار میں پناہ گزیں ہوئے اور انہوں نے کہا کہ "اے پروردگار، ہم کو اپنی رحمت خاص سے نواز اور ہمارا معاملہ درست کر دے،"
Sections:
The upright message of the Qur’an.
The Companions of the Cave.
The proof of resurrection.
Always remember Allah. Every thing depends on Allah’s will.

Wealth and children are only a passing show.
Satan and his progeny they are the open enemies of human beings.
Allah’s mercy is available all the time.
Prophet Moses’ search for a teacher.

Quran 18:17~18

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. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. But whoever He leaves to stray, you will never find for them a guiding mentor. 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. Had you looked at them, you would have certainly fled away from them, filled with horror. (Quran 18:17~18). Surah Kahf
Al-Kahf (Arabic: الكهف, al-kahf; meaning: The Cave) is the 18th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 110 verses (āyāt).

۞ وَتَرَى ٱلشَّمۡسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَ ٰوَرُ عَن كَهۡفِهِمۡ ذَاتَ ٱلۡیَمِینِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقۡرِضُهُمۡ ذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَهُمۡ فِی فَجۡوَةࣲ مِّنۡهُۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ مِنۡ ءَایَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۗ مَن یَهۡدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِۖ وَمَن یُضۡلِلۡ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ وَلِیࣰّا مُّرۡشِدࣰا وَتَحۡسَبُهُمۡ أَیۡقَاظࣰا وَهُمۡ رُقُودࣱۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمۡ ذَاتَ ٱلۡیَمِینِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِۖ وَكَلۡبُهُم بَـٰسِطࣱ ذِرَاعَیۡهِ بِٱلۡوَصِیدِۚ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعۡتَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ لَوَلَّیۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ فِرَارࣰا وَلَمُلِئۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ رُعۡبࣰا
There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim that states that Muhammad said (Concerning The False Messiah, Al-Masih ad-Dajjal):
“He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf”
— Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Number 7015
تم انہیں غار میں دیکھتے تو تمہیں یوں نظر آتا کہ سورج جب نکلتا ہے تو ان کے غار کو چھوڑ کر دائیں جانب چڑھ جاتا ہے اور جب غروب ہوتا ہے تو ان سے بچ کر بائیں جانب اتر جاتا ہے اور وہ ہیں کہ غار کے اندر ایک وسیع جگہ میں پڑے ہیں یہ اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے ایک ہے جس کو اللہ ہدایت دے وہی ہدایت پانے والا ہے اور جسے اللہ بھٹکا دے اس کے لیے تم کوئی ولی مرشد نہیں پا سکتے تم انہیں دیکھ کر یہ سمجھتے کہ وہ جاگ رہے ہیں، حالانکہ وہ سو رہے تھے ہم انہیں دائیں بائیں کروٹ دلواتے رہتے تھے اور ان کا کتا غار کے دہانے پر ہاتھ پھیلائے بیٹھا تھا اگر تم کہیں جھانک کر اُنہیں دیکھتے تو الٹے پاؤں بھاگ کھڑے ہوتے اور تم پر ان کے نظارے سے دہشت بیٹھ جاتی
This Surah was sent down in answer to three questions which the polytheists of Makkah in consultation with the People of the Book (the Jews and the Christians) put to the Prophet. These were:
Who were ‘The Sleepers of the Cave?’
What is the real story of Khidr?
What do you know about Dhul-Qarnain?
These three questions and their stories related to the history of the Christians and the Jews and were unknown in the Arabian Peninsula (Hijaz), so they were being used to test the divine knowledge revealed to the Prophet. However, God informed the Prophet of the complete answer to these questions and also employed the stories in the conflict between Islam and unbelief.
The questioners were told that the ‘Sleepers of the Cave’ believed in the same doctrine of Monotheism (Tawhid) which was being put forward in the Qur’an and that their condition was similar to that of the persecuted Muslims of Makkah. Also, the persecutors of the Sleepers of the Cave behaved in the same way as the disbelievers of Quraysh towards the Muslims. This particular story was a warning to the chiefs of Makkah, who were persecuting the small newly formed Muslim community. Additionally, the Prophet was instructed not to compromise with the persecutors nor consider the chiefs to be more important than his own followers. Likewise, the chiefs too were admonished and informed not to be distracted by the temporary life of this world but seek the eternal life of the hereafter.

Quran 18:13~16

We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ their story in truth. They were youths who truly believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. And We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and declared, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never call upon any god besides Him, or we would truly be uttering an outrageous lie.” ˹Then they said to one another,˺ “These people of ours have taken gods besides Him. Why do they not produce a clear proof of them? Who then does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? Since you have distanced yourselves from them and what they worship besides Allah, take refuge in the cave. Your Lord will extend His mercy to you and accommodate you in your ordeal.” Quran 18:13~16

ہم ان کا اصل قصہ تمہیں سناتے ہیں وہ چند نوجوان تھے جو اپنے رب پر ایمان لے آئے تھے اور ہم نے ان کو ہدایت میں ترقی بخشی تھی ہم نے ان کے دل اُس وقت مضبوط کر دیے جب وہ اٹھے اور انہوں نے اعلان کر دیا کہ "ہمارا رب تو بس وہی ہے جو آسمانوں اور زمین کا رب ہے ہم اُسے چھوڑ کر کسی دوسرے معبود کو نہ پکاریں گے اگر ہم ایسا کریں تو بالکل بیجا بات کریں گے" (پھر انہوں نے آپس میں ایک دوسرے سے کہا) "یہ ہماری قوم تو ربِّ کائنات کو چھوڑ کر دوسرے خدا بنا بیٹھی ہے یہ لوگ ان کے معبود ہونے پر کوئی واضح دلیل کیوں نہیں لاتے؟ آخر اُس شخص سے بڑا ظالم اور کون ہو سکتا ہے جو اللہ پر جھوٹ باندھے؟ اب جبکہ تم ان سے اور اِن کے معبودانِ غیر اللہ سے بے تعلق ہو چکے ہو تو چلو اب فلاں غار میں چل کر پناہ لو تمہارا رب تم پر اپنی رحمت کا دامن وسیع کرے گا اور تمہارے کام کے لیے سر و سامان مہیا کر دے گا"
