1

Praise belongs to Allah Who has sent down the Book to His slave and has put no crookedness in it.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:1

2

It is straight, to warn of violent force direct from Him, and to give the good news to the muminun, those who do right actions, that for them there is an excellent reward,

H.Abdalhaqq 18:2

3

a place in which they will remain for ever,

H.Abdalhaqq 18:3

4

and to warn those who say 'Allah has a son.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:4

5

They have no knowledge of this, neither they nor their fathers. It is a monstrous utterance which has issued from their mouths. What they say is nothing but a lie.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:5

6

Perhaps you may destroy yourself with grief, chasing after them, if they do not have iman in these words.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:6

7

We made everything on the earth adornment for it so that We could test them to see whose actions are the best.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:7

8

We will certainly make everything on it a barren wasteland.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:8

9

Do you consider that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-Raqim were one of the most remarkable of Our Signs?

H.Abdalhaqq 18:9

10

When the young men took refuge in the cave and said, 'Our Lord, give us mercy directly from You and open the way for us to right guidance in our situation.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:10

11

So We sealed their ears with sleep in the cave for a number of years.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:11

12

Then We woke them up again so that We might see which of the two groups would better calculate the time they had stayed there.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:12

13

We will relate their story to you with truth. They were young men who had iman in their Lord and We increased them in guidance.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:13

14

We fortified their hearts when they stood up and said, 'Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and We will not call on any god apart from Him. We would in that case have uttered an abomination.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:14

15

These people of ours have taken gods apart from Him. Why do they not produce a clear authority concerning them? Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents a lie against Allah?

H.Abdalhaqq 18:15

16

When you have separated yourselves from them and everything they worship except Allah, take refuge in the cave and your Lord will unfold His mercy to you and open the way to the best for you in your situation.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:16

17

You would have seen the sun, when it rose, inclining away from their cave towards the right, and, when it set, leaving them behind on the left, while they were lying in an open part of it. That was one of Allah's Signs. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. But if He misguides someone, you will find no protector for them to guide them rightly.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:17

18

You would have supposed them to be awake whereas in fact they were asleep. We turned them to the right and to the left, and, at the entrance, their dog stretched out its paws. If you had looked down and seen them, you would have turned from them and run and have been filled with terror at the sight of them.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:18

19

That was the situation when we woke them up so they could question one another. One of them asked, 'How long have you been here?' They replied, 'We have been here for a day or part of a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long you have been here. Send one of your number into the city with this silver you have, so he can see which food is purest and bring you some of it to eat. But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware of you,

H.Abdalhaqq 18:19

20

for if they find out about you they will stone you or make you revert to their religion and then you will never have success.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:20

21

Accordingly We made them chance upon them unexpectedly so they might know that Allah's promise is true and that there is no doubt about the Hour. When they were arguing among themselves about the matter, they said, 'Wall up their cave, their Lord knows best about them.' But those who got the better of the argument concerning them said, 'We will build a place of worship over them.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:21

22

They will say, 'There were three of them, their dog being the fourth.' They will say, 'There were five of them, their dog being the sixth,' guessing at the Unseen. And they will say, 'There were seven of them, their dog being the eighth.' Say: 'My Lord knows best their number. Those who know about them are very few.' So do not enter into any argument concerning them, except in relation to what is clearly known. And do not seek the opinion of any of them regarding them.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:22

23

Never say about anything, 'I will do that tomorrow,' -

H.Abdalhaqq 18:23

24

Without adding 'If Allah wills.' Remember your Lord when you forget, and say, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to right guidance than this.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:24

25

They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and added nine.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:25

26

Say: 'Allah knows best how long they stayed. The Unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. How perfectly He sees, how well He hears! They have no protector apart from Him. Nor does He share His rule with anyone.'

H.Abdalhaqq 18:26

27

Recite what has been revealed to you of your Lord's Book. No one can change His Words. You will never find any safe haven apart from Him.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:27

28

Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes from them, desiring the attractions of this world. And do not obey someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance and who follows his own whims and desires and whose life has transgressed all bounds.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:28

29

Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes have iman and whoever wishes be kafir.' We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call for help, they will be helped with water like seething molten brass, frying their faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose!

H.Abdalhaqq 18:29

30

But as for those who have iman and do right actions, We will not let the wage of good-doers go to waste.

H.Abdalhaqq 18:30
