Currently Playing: Did the Cave Sleepers Sleep for 300 Years? | Quran18:25 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally discusses Quran 18:24, which mentions the duration the sleepers stayed in the cave (300 years, plus nine more) and explains why it is often misunderstood. Many assume the Quran is directly stating a factual number, but the Arabic text does not clarify whether this is God’s assertion or a report of what others were saying. Early commentators like Qatadah believed it was the latter, especially since the next verse instructs the Prophet to say, “God knows best how long they stayed.” Some scholars rejected this interpretation, but Dr. Shabir notes that the Quran often quotes people’s claims and then tells the Prophet how to respond. He argues that the story’s significance lies not in the historical or scientific details, but in its moral, ethical, and theological lessons.
