Surah Al-Kahf Verse 21

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًا ۖ رَبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا



And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

وَكَذلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَـزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُواْ ابْنُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَـنًا رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُواْ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا

(21. And thus We made their case known, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour. (Remember) when they (the people) disputed among themselves about their case, they said: "Construct a building over them; their Lord knows best about them,'' (then) those who won their point said: "We verily, shall build a place of worship over them.'')

How the People of the City came to know about Them; building a Memorial over the Cave

وَكَذلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ

(And thus We made their case known,) means, `We caused the people to find them.'

لِيَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهَا

(that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour.) Several scholars of the Salaf mentioned that the people of that time were skeptical about the Resurrection. `Ikrimah said: "There was a group of them who said that the souls would be resurrected but not the bodies, so Allah resurrected the people of the Cave as a sign and proof of resurrection.'' They mentioned that when they wanted to send one of their members out to the city to buy them something to eat, he disguised himself and set out walking by a different route, until he reached the city, which they said was called Daqsus. He thought that it was not long since he left it, but in fact century after century, generation after generation, nation after nation had passed, and the country and its people had changed. He saw no local landmarks that he recognized, and he did not recognize any of the people, elite or commoners. He began to feel confused and said to himself, "Maybe I am crazy or deluded, maybe I am dreaming.'' Then he said, "By Allah, I am nothing of the sort, what I know I saw last night was different from this.'' Then he said, "I had better get out of here.'' Then he went to one of the men selling food, gave him the money he had and asked him to sell him some food. When the man saw the money he did not recognize it or its imprint, so he passed it to his neighbor and they all began to pass it around, saying, "Maybe this man found some treasure.'' They asked him who he was and where he got this money. Had he found a treasure Who was he He said, "I am from this land, I was living here yesterday and Decianus was the ruler.'' They accused him of being crazy and took him to the governor who questioned him about his circumstances, and he told him. He was confused about his situation. When he told them about it, they -- the king and the people of the city -- went with him to the cave, where he told them, "Let me go in first and let my companions know.'' It was said that the people did not know how he entered it, and that the people did not know about their story. It was also said that they did enter the cave and see them, and the king greeted them and embraced them. Apparently he was a Muslim, and his name was Tedosis. They rejoiced at meeting him and spoke with him, then they bid farewell to him and went back to sleep, then Allah caused them to die. And Allah knows best. A

وَكَذلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ

(And thus We made their case known,) meaning, `just as We caused them to sleep then woke them up physically intact, We made their story known to the people of that time.'

لِيَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَـزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ

(that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour. (Remember) when they (the people) disputed among themselves about their case, ) meaning, about Resurrection. Some believed in it and some denied it, so Allah made their discovery of the people of the cave evidence either in their favor or against them.

فَقَالُواْ ابْنُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَـنًا رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ

(they said: "Construct a building over them; their Lord knows best about them,'') meaning, seal the door of their cave over them, and leave them as they are.

قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُواْ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا

(those who won their point said: "We verily, shall build a place of worship over them.'') Those who said this were the people of power and influence, but were they good people or not There is some debate on this point, because the Prophet said:

«لَعَنَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِد»

(Allah has cursed the Jews and the Christians who took the graves of their Prophets and righteous people as places of worship) Warning against what they did. We have reported about the Commander of the faithful `Umar bin Al-Khattab that when he found the grave of Danyal (Daniel) in Iraq during his period of rule, he gave orders that news of this grave should be withheld from the people, and that the inscription containing mention of battles etc., that they found there should be buried.

Yaitu janji-Nya akan membangkitkan manusia. Hal itu, karena yang berkuasa menidurkan mereka dalam waktu yang lama dan membiarkan mereka dalam keadaan seperti itu tanpa diberi makanan menunjukkan bahwa Dia berkuasa menghidupkan orang-orang yang telah mati.

Orang-orang mukmin dan orang-orang kafir.

Yang mereka perselisihkan itu adalah tentang hari kiamat; apakah hal itu akan terjadi atau tidak dan apakah kebangkitan pada hari kiamat dengan jasad atau roh ataukah dengan roh saja. Maka Allah mempertemukan mereka dengan pemuda-pemuda dalam kisah ini untuk menjelaskan bahwa hari kiamat itu pasti datang dan kebangkitan itu adalah dengan jasad dan roh. Pertemuan mereka dengan As-habul Kahfi ini menambah keyakinan kaum mukmin dan sebagai hujjah terhadap orang-orang yang mengingkari kebangkitan, dan Allah memasyhurkan kisah mereka (Ashabul Kahfi), meninggikan derajat mereka sampai orang-orang yang mengetahui tentang keadaan mereka (As-habul Kahfi) begitu memuliakan mereka.

Yakni agar kita beribadah kepada Allah di situ, mengenang mereka dan mengingat peristiwa mereka. Hal ini adalah perkara yang dilarang oleh Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam dan dicela pelakunya karena bisa mengarah kepada perbuatan syirk sebagaimana yang menimpa kaum Nabi Nuh ‘alaihis salam yang menyembah patung orang-orang saleh di antara mereka. Ayat ini tidaklah menunjukkan bahwa perbuatan tersebut tidak tercela, bahkan susunannya hanyalah menerangkan bagaimana para penghuni gua (As-habul Kahfi) itu dimuliakan sekali oleh manusia ketika itu. Dalam ayat ini terdapat dalil, bahwa orang yang pergi membawa agamanya, maka akan Allah menyelamatkannya dari fitnah, dan bahwa orang yang ingin sekali memperoleh perlindungan dari Allah, maka Allah akan melindunginya. Demikian juga menunjukkan, bahwa barang siapa yang siap menerima kehinaan di jalan Allah dan mencari keridhaan-Nya, maka akhirnya adalah kemuliaan dari arah yang tidak diduga-duga.
