Quran /18- The CAVE AL KAHF Meccan/

Introduction

In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful)
This Surah (Chapter) features life as a cycle in which a certain round of events or phenomena is completed. It gives parables indicative of brevity and uncertainty besides being itself a parable. Man is taught how to humble himself to Allah and to realize that it is He Who gives what He will to whom He will and denies whom He will of what He will. This is beautifully illustrated by the narrative of the rich man and the poor man.
The Surah indicates that life is full of mysteries and that Allah's mystic knowledge is imparted only to those who qualify. This is eloquently described in the narrative of the mysterious teacher who interpreted certain events to Mussa (Moses) who was not able to forbear them earlier. Last but not least is the narrative-of the man to whom Allah gave enough power to conquer the east and the west, yet he never boasted nor denied Allah's grace abounding in him (Zul-Qarnain who might have been Alexander the Great or some one else unidentified).
