Curated by: Let the Quran Speak (115 videos)
Dr. Shabir Ally discusses Quran 18:9 as part of our Misunderstood Quranic Verses series. The verse refers to the companions of the cave and the inscription. Although many Muslims view this story of youths who slept for centuries and were miraculously preserved as one of God’s great signs, the verse questions whether it truly ranks among the most wondrous. Dr. Shabir explains that this rhetorical question redirects attention from dramatic miracles to the everyday signs of God all around us. The verse is often misunderstood because it appears to diminish what is traditionally seen as an extraordinary event. Dr. Shabir also explores the meaning of “the inscription” (al-raqeem), likely referring to a plaque mentioned in earlier Christian versions of the story, showing how the Quran adapts the narrative to emphasize God's power without relying on detailed historical or theological embellishments.
