ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَاۜ
1. All praise be to Allāh¹, Who has sent down the Book to His servant and has not made therein any crookedness².
1. It is a glorification of Allāh, God Almighty, for all His favours, both hidden and perceived, as well as those which relate to Islam and worldly matters. The greatest of all these favors ever is revealing the Qur’an to God’s most honorable servant, the Prophet Muhammad.
2. From the truth or the straight path, but made it a flawless guide without Any contradiction or discrepancy in it for all mankind and jinn.

3. Such as the Christians who claim that Jesus is the son of God, and the pagans who claim that angels are God’s daughters. Having a child entails partaking in Godship, the need for a wife to fulfill emotional and bodily functions with her, are likeness to His creation who stand in need of offspring.

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ زِينَةٗ لَّهَا لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ أَيُّهُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗا
7. Indeed, We have made whatever is on earth as an adornment for it, so that We may test them as to which of them is best in conduct and deed⁴.
4. This world is the place of striving and the Hereafter is the place of reward or punishment, where the believers will be rewarded with Paradise and the disbelievers will be punished with Hell.
Paradise is good and none but those who are good will enter it. Allāh is Good and accepts nothing but that which is good. So the way of Allāh with the people is to test them with calamities and tribulations, so that the believer may be known from the unbeliever and so that the truthful may be distinguished from the liar.

9. Or, do you think that the companions of the cave⁵ and the Inscription were of Our signs 'specially' wondrous⁶?
5. The seven sleepers of Ephesus.

10. When the (faithful) youths sought refuge in the cave⁷, then they said: "Our Lord (Allāh), grant us Mercy from You, and provide for us a right course in our affair⁸".
7. Fleeing from their disbelieving people.
8. They asked Allāh for a means of which the end is firmness on the path to the Truth, Islam, being spared from the idolaters, gaining useful knowledge and acting upon it, so that their religious and worldly affairs would be on the right side.

فَضَرَبۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ فِي ٱلۡكَهۡفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدٗا
11. So We sealed up their ears⁹ (and caused them to fall into a deep sleep) in the cave for a number of years.
9. Their ears are specifically mentioned because the sense of hearing above and beyond any other sense is the one that spoils sleep most. If done in perfect circumstances, rarely is sleep disturbed by a cause other than noise.

12. Then We raised them up¹⁰ so that We might make evident which of the two parties was best able to calculate the time for which they stayed (in the Cave, sleeping) .
10. From that sleep. Sleep is a kind of death.

13. We relate to you (Muhammad) their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord (Allāh alone) and We increased them in guidance11.
11. Youth is the most vital stage of life, worthy to make the best use of it and to strive toward excellence. Youngsters are full of energy and vivid passions. Their road is paved with hope, persistence and enlightened thinking. Indeed, it is the period of beneficial production for generations to come. Muslim youth must be aware of the essential importance and value of their life, direct it to the right way in order to achieve the best outcome.
Islamic history has a myriad of examples of great Muslim youth who were luminaries of humanity. We remind you of young believers who gathered around the Prophet (peace be upon him) to name a few, Zaid bin Thabet (may Allah be pleased with him) who collected the whole text of the Holy Qur’an, and Mus’ab bin Umair (may Allah be pleased with him) who was the first ambassador in Islam. He was asked by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to go to Madina to teach the Qur’an and through him and his teachings the people of Madina converted to Islam, Usama bin Zayd, Ibn Abbas, and Hassan and Husain (may Allah be pleased with them all).
The Messenger of Allah said: 'Hasan and Husain will be the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and their father is better than them."
And in this chapter Allāh relates the story of the 'faithful' youths who believed in their Lord 'Allāh alone'.

14. And We strengthened their hearts, when they stood up12 and said: "Our Lord (Allāh) is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; never shall we invoke besides Him any god, (if we invoke others), then indeed our invoking would be too far away (from the Truth)!
12. Before their king, who had commanded them to worship idols and false gods.

15. These our people have taken (false) deities besides Him. Why do they not bring for (their worshiping of) them a clear authority? Who is then more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allāh?

16. And when you withdraw from them and what they worship besides Allāh, then betake yourselves to the cave for refuge; then your Lord (Allāh) will spread out for you of His mercy, and prepare for you an easy course in your affair.

17. And you might have seen the sun, when it rose, declining from their cave towards the right, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they were in a wide space thereof13. This is of the Signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides, he is rightly guided, and he whom He leaves astray you shall not find for him any protecting guide to lead (him to the right way of Islam).
13. As such they would get all the air and ventilation they needed to sustain.

18. And you would think them awake, while they were asleep, and We turned them on their right and on their left sides14, while their dog lay outstretching his forelegs at the entrance. Had you looked at them you would certainly have turned back from them in flight, and you would have been filled with terror of them.
14. It is a common medical practice nowadays to turn bed-ridden patients on their sides every few hours so that they do not get bedsores resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin.

19. Thus We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker among them said: "How long have you remained?" They said: "We have remained 'perhaps' a day or part of a day." (Then others among them) said: "Your Lord (Allāh) knows best how long you have remained." Now send one of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then let him see which of them has the purest food, so let him bring you provision from it, and let him be careful, and let no one be aware of you.

21. And it was thus that We let them come upon them, that they might know that Allah’s Promise is 'unfailingly' true, and that as for the Hour (of Doom), there is no doubt about it. (That was) when they were disputing among themselves their affair and 'then' said, "Build over them a structure (in their memory) - their Lord (Allāh) knows best about them." Those who prevailed over their affair said: "We shall certainly build a place of worship over them15."
15. One of the wives of the Prophet told him that in Abyssinia she saw a church full of images. The Prophet Muhammad said: “When a righteous man or saint among them dies they build a place of worship over his grave and set up images. They are the worst of all creatures before God. They combined the two evils; worshipping to the graves and making graven images.”
The Prophet Muhammad said: "Beware, those who preceded before you, used to make their Prophets’ graves into places of worship. Beware, don’t take any graves as places o f worship. I forbid you to do so.”

Say: "My Lord (Allāh) knows best their number, no one knows them except a few; so debate not (about their number) except with the clear proof.

46. Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the ever-lasting good deeds are far better with your Lord 'Allāh' in reward, and better in hope22.

Referring to all the deeds which please Allāh, God Almighty; be they the five daily Prayers, or the words of Remembrance of Allāh, because, unlike the transient adornment of life, they are ‘everlasting’ for their doers, and ‘good’ because they are carried out in a manner that pleases Allāh. Muhammed, God's messenger ﷺ, said: “To say: Subḥānallāh 'Glory be to Allāh', Al-ḥamdu lillāh 'all gratitude be to Allāh', Lā Ilāha illal lāh 'there is no god but Allāh' and Allāhu Akbar 'Allāh is the Greatest' are among the everlasting good deeds.”

50. And (mention) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate to Adam." So they all prostrated except Iblees, he was of the jinn, then he rebelled from the Command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his offspring for your masters24 rather than Me, while they are to you enemies? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange25.
24. Demons could possess their idols and communicate through them; they also used to seek refuge from the evil of the jinn by appraising them and slaughtering sacrifices for them25. Satan along with his fellow demons continues to lead people astray from the right Path of Islam.

51. I did not make them (Satan and his associates) witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to the creation of their own selves; nor could I take the misguiders for helpers26.

One of them asked him if he knew anyone more knowledgeable than he was and he replied in the negative. Then God revealed to him that His servant, Al-Khiḍr, was of greater knowledge than himself. Moses then asked God about a way of meeting him and he was told to seek him out where the fish come to life and swim into the sea.

The three for when you are travelling are: to give to others from your own travel provisions, being good-tempered and joking regarding things other than acts of disobedience.
