The Cave of the Seven Sleepers (Ashabul Kahf)Then, drive 20 minutes to the most popular attraction outside of Amman, known as the Ka'f Al-Raqim, also referred to as the Cave of the Seven Sleepers. Mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in a Sura named Al-Kahf (The Cave), it is located outside the village of Al-Raqim, 10 km east of Amman. Persecuted by the despotic rule of Trajan for monotheism, a group of pious youths took refuge in this cave. To preserve them, Allah put them to sleep, and when they revived 300 years later (309 lunar years, as mentioned in the Holy Qur'an), they thought they had only been asleep for a day or so. Christianity was widespread by then, and when they were discovered, Allah put them to rest forever. At the cave, Byzantine and Roman ruins still stand, as well as a mosque, which exactly matches the descriptions in the Holy Qur'an.
