What is the Cave of the Seven Sleepers?

The Cave of the Seven Sleepers is a famous Islamic site located just outside the village of Al-Raqim, around 10 km east of Amman. The cave is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in a Sura named Al-Kahf (The Cave). The site is believed to be the setting of a Qur’anic story about a group of pious youths who took refuge in this cave to avoid the despotic rule of Trajan for monotheism. To preserve them, Allah put them to sleep, and when they revived 309 lunar years later, they thought they had slept for only a day or so. When they were discovered, Christianity was widespread, and Allah put them back to sleep, so they would not face persecution. The Cave of the Seven Sleepers is considered a sacred site by Muslim and Christian pilgrims.
