The cave of the seven sleepers- Ahl al kahf- Amman



The story of the seven sleepers is clearly mentioned in Quran (Sura 18). these are six men and their dog,( total seven -thus the seven sleepers)who fled from the presecution of the local ruler, and hide themselves in this cave, and they fell asleep. they slept in the cave by ALLAHs wish, for 100 yrs and more, to awaken and found out that, even the coins in their pockets are ancient, and ppl were amazed to see them and their money. later on they died and still their bones are burried inside the cave, and one could see them. Theres a mosque beside this cave, where ladies can go in with full Hijab.
