The first story mentioned in Surah Al Kahf is the story of the men of the cave (Ashabul-Kahf)
● They were the people who were believers and lived in a country of non-believers.
● They noticed that people will threat their lives because of their faith.
● They abandoned their city and hid in the cave to save their Iman.
● Allah(SWT) bestowed sleep over them for 309 years and when they woke up from
their sleep, by that time all the people of their city had become believers.

all times and especially in times of uncertainty and trial.
