As for the story of the Companions of the Cave and the Inscription, the subject of our book, it is a story that bears within each of its verses a Quranic marvel that confirms the power of God Almighty and His knowledge of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And everything that happened or what will happen in his earth and his heavens of events and actions.
Within the verses of this story, God Almighty revealed four important physical laws that were discovered by an Arab Muslim scientist in the fourth century AH. These laws are still in effect in all matters related to their sources, effects and references. This is based on the testimony of contemporary Western scientific references. Also, God Almighty has revealed within the verses of this story answers to questions about events that are deep in their chronological antiquity. And he was not aware of its facts, inputs, and outputs in that distant time, as proven by the historical records, except by powers. Or three groups that were influential or affected by the events of the period when the Companions of the Cave sought refuge in their cave. These three groups are: The ruling authority in that country, which was pagan in religion and sect, The second group were followers of the religion that the Companions of the Cave believed in, which is Christianity. The third group was the followers of the Jewish sect, which was closer in its positions to the ruling authority than the followers of the Christian religion who were persecuted by the ruling authority. The Jewish community, by virtue of its inherited religious rituals, was interested in monitoring and recording all events related to the Jewish religion and its followers. At the same time, monitoring and recording all the events and developments that the followers of Christ, peace be upon him, were exposed to in that pagan country, and that is not out of love for Christ and his followers. However, in order not to spread that new religion that did not agree with the Jewish standards in assuming the status of prophecy and the divine message, as will be clarified later.
