Translation, Commentary & Explanation of Chapter 18 Al-Kahfi.
Literal Translation of verse 21.
That is how we show them, so that they know that the promise of God is true, and that there is no doubt about the coming of The Hour. When they were contradicting about their affair, some people said,
"Let us built on their cave a building. Their Lord knows best about them."
The people who were dominating their affair said,
"We will built on it a place of worship."
Commentary by Jalalain.
The awakening of the people of the cave, is a sign of the truth of the Day of Resurrection and also as a sign to all people, that ALLAH, The Most Powerful, can put them to death for a long time in their sleep and their body were still intact without food and drink. Thus ALLAH is Very Powerful to bring the dead back to life.
The people of the town had conflicting opinion about building a memorial structure at the location of the cave. The non-religious people preferred a building to cover them up, while the dominating religious faction unanimously agreed to build a house of worship at the entrance of the cave.
Muhammad Taqiuddin Al-Hilali
commented that it was, most probably, the non-religious faction of the people who won the case and build a house of worship over them.
Commentary by Muhammad Asad.
And in this way We have drawn people's attention to their story, so that they know that God's promise of resurrection is true, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Last Hour.
Some people suggest to build a memorial building. Finally, the prevailed opinion agreed to built a house of worship in their memory.
Note that Muhammad Asad did not mentioned wether they were religous or non-religious factions.
Harun Yahya
mentioned in his book "Signs of the End Times in Surat Al-Kahfi",
that, this verse contains clear signs of the End Times and The Hour.
