:salam: I’d like a debate on Surah Al Kahf which discusses the Cave..could someone give me a link or could they post some tafseer on the surah…

Also I read somewhere the Cave mentioned in this Surah is located in modern day Pertra Jordan?

Re: The cave..

(Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.

Allah has instructed us to avoid going into details about the 'Ashaab al-Kahaf'.
