12 Then We awakened them to know

which of the two groups could better

calculate the length of their stay.

truth. They were youths who

believed in their Lord, and We

increased them in guidance.

14 And We strengthened their hearts,

when they stood up and said, “Our

Lord is the Lord of the heavens and

the earth; we will not call on any god

besides Him, for then we would have

spoken an outrage.”

in the cave. And your Lord will unfold

His mercy for you, and will set your

17 You would have seen the sun,

when it rose, veering away from their

cave towards the right, and when it

sets, moving away from them to the

left, as they lay in the midst of the

cave. That was one of Allah’s

misguides, for him you will find no

directing friend.

paws across the threshold. Had you
