Cave of The Seven Sleepers (Ashab al-Kahf) - Tarsus, Turkey
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ธ.ค. 2020
- Disclaimers:
1. The amount of youth being seven has been reported by Imam Tabari who mentions that Ibn Abbas mentions the number being seven and the eighth being the dog with them. This is mentioned in Tarikh al-Umam wal-Muluk (Tarikh at-Tabari) by Ibn Jarir at Tabari. Page number is 211. Link for PDF is here: ia800207.us.archive.org/31/it.... Seven is also mentioned in Tafsir Jalalayn,
2. The location is debated. It seems that people around the world tried to localise this historical and significant place based on statements from Companions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and historical narratives written by other historians. The video shows just one POSSIBLE location of where this cave may be. The one in Jordan is also a possibility. Shafiq Norton, an award-winning South African journalist also alludes to this in his blog, for which the link is: shorturl.at/cqrD7.
In Tafsir Jalalayn, it is mentioned in the commentary that a possible location for this cave is in Tarsus. To make it more specific, it is also mentioned in Tafsir Jalalayn that Tarsus is a place between Mersin and Adana in Turkey.

We noticed the sign for this place on our way from Mersin to Adana and immediately decided to do a U Turn and take the exit

This was simply a place I came across on my journey around the Southeast region of Turkey. Some say the cave is in Jordan and some say in Turkey. The truth is, NO ONE actually knows the true location. This video basically showcases what I came across. The place was signposted along the highway as Esheb el-Kehf and after checking Tafsir Jalalayn, I found that it is mentioned in the commentary that a possible location for this cave is in Tarsus (which is the location in the video). To make it more specific, it is also mentioned in Tafsir Jalalayn that Tarsus is a place between Mersin and Adana in Turkey.

Oh...you are such a good English speaker....
@@RoShZiMu Thanks 😊
Thanks to define it brother because I have also seen a video by a journalist of Pakistan that he had visited that cave....but that cave was entirely different from it.so I think you are right
@@JuberAhmedTravel well only Allah knows best. My understanding however from history and several ulama descriptions I believe it is this cave not Jordon. It must be one of the two amongst these, for the simple reason, Ashabe Khaf from their names were Greeks and they were most probably located in Turkey (jordon also possible). The names and everything else matches the Turkish cave. One important feature is that the cave is small at the entrance but bigger inside, this description fits best at the Turkish cave rather than the Jordanian one
@@amjadashah thanks for that explanation 😊 learnt something new :)

May Allah save you from even more calamities and elevate your status in both.
Pls recite it Fridays not Thursday
@@livingasfareesa657 Thursday evening ultimately becomes Friday in Islamic timing.
@@mostaqueahmed4586 what?
@@mostaqueahmed4586 she is fulfilling her obligation of praying Al-Kahf. Whether on the 1st minute or the last minute of Friday.
I was reading surah Kahaf as it's Jummah Morning here in Kashmir. Decided to find a Video on TH-cam to get some more idea about the cave. Came through this video , I'm in tears 😭
Proud to be muslim.... wouldn't change it for anything masallah...blessed to have mom and dad masallah
But that was not this place
@Stinger proof?
@Stinger I cant read that
@Stinger theologian Jacob of Serugh made the bible one
@Stinger and how would u know that they dont know that
Turkish Islamic heritage is overwhelming
Ashab- e- kahaf slept in the cave for 300 solar years and 309 lunar years(difference between solar and lunar year is approx. 11 days). And Allah(swt) mentioned it so beautifully in the holy qur'an. Subhanallah!
The quranic version is abbreviated. Have you read the original?
@@tbishop4961 Theres no need 😊
@@Random_Boy353 there's no need to read either one. It's a fabricated tale👌
@@tbishop4961 One of them indeed.
@@Random_Boy353 lmao. R3t@rd. The Christian version proceeds the quran🐒
Thank you brother for showing this cave and giving detail about اصحاب کہف they were beloved of Allah SWT.
No problem I’m glad you found it beneficial JazākAllāhu Khairan 😊
Subhanallah...Got this video recommended today (on Friday). May Allah accept them and us. Please recite Sura Kahf every Friday.
I am from Turkey. I live in Tarsus .I was honored by that. Tarsus is a very beautiful place in terms of history and culture.For example, St. Paul's Well, Cleopatra's Gate...
Mashallah
@@bobb6652 well buddy the cave is in Jordan not turkey
@Rilex have you read the surah? give it a try
@Repent ! it's an old Syrian Christian story set in turkey. Check out the original if you haven't read it. Many details missing from the quranic version
@@tbishop4961 actually it’s no news. The whole point is that they were like minded kids who dedicated their life to God at a time where everyone else was lost
love from India..I wish to visit.. May Allah fullfil my dream
InshāAllāh Āmīn InshāAllāh you get to visit 😊
Aameen, I also want to visit pray for me too❤️
I'm dying to go to turkey
I don't know why I am in love this place so much,I have no one there but one day I want to settle there ♥

Aameen ya Rabbul Alameen.
It is fact as it is described in the holy Quran. Extreme love for those who sacrificed in such a way...It is really an astonishing miracle. From Bangladesh...
I was fortunate enough to get to visit one of the claimed cave in Jordan. It was up high in a hill.. the tomb still has what is believed to be the bones of the 7 sleepers. Only Allah knows which one is the actual one.
MashaAllah I still have not been. InshaAllah soon :)
@@JuberAhmedTravel Insya Allah Aminn
You must've been lucky.
@@MariamNasir Alhamdulillah, even though it has been 29yrs ago, but the moment was a lifetime journey.
There is no proof that they were 7!

Jazak Allah e khair for sharing this beautiful video
I am from the city of Adana and living abroad. We always went there since my childhood with my parents. We picnicked there under the trees in summer an my family slept there once. Last time for me was in 2019. It is beautiful and tranquil. Tarsus is a very beautiful city, much more than Adana. I recently discovered that prophet Danyal is also buried in Tarsus. I went there last year and was very impressed. I would advice you to also go there and to the old mosques there. 2 years ago I went to the tree of Mozes in Hatay(old Antioch). That was also very special and also tranquil and beautiful.The journey of Mozes with Hidir is also written in Sura Kehf and I think that this place is for real after some things I experienced there. I would also advice you to visit the city of Hatay and its museum and beautiful region.
Wow MashaAllah - thank you for the amazing explanation. Seems like it was such a nice time :) Wow next time I am there, I will definitely visit Hatay and spend more time in Tarsus. Adana was very busy but Tarsus looked very calm and peaceful to me. InshaAllah I will go and visit tomb of Prophet Danyal also. I hope you get to come back and visit more of these places soon inshaAllah :)
Dear brother, Salam! The tomb of prophet Daniel is in Shush, Iran. Allah bless you and Happy Ramadan!
@@aramishelahi8425 Wa Alaykum Salam and Ramadan Mubarak to you also. Jzk for letting me know :)
@@aramishelahi8425 Dear Brother. On November 2019 I watched the You Tube video of one of our archeologist Talha Uğurluel( he also has English subtitles). He told about Danyal peygamber. On 586 BC the king of Babil send prophet Danyal to Tarsus. During the time of Khalif Omar the Mosque where he lies under was build in Tarsus. His followers found a tomb there and they opened it. They found a ring and brought it to Halif Omar. After seeing the ring with pictures of a man and to Lions he said that this must be the tomb of prophet Danyal and told them to burry him and keep quiet as not disturb the tomb. After this the tomb was forgotten. The mufti of Adana told the story of the mufti of this Mosque. The mufti wanted to build new toilets in the mosque This happened. After finishing the toilets he saw prophet Danyal in his dream and he was not pleased that all the excretes where disturbing his tomb. They started an excavation and found the tomb. Now it is lying there. It has been turned to a museum and is also a mosque. You can believe or not.

I've been to this cave when I was in Adana. We drove some hour or so to reach here.
Adana is an amazing city! Was there in December 2020
@@JuberAhmedTravel we drove out about an hour to go to this place. Guys were Turkish and couldn't explain properly. Stumbling on your video recalls purpose of this cave existence. Besides Turkish Islamic heritage is profoundly overwhelming. Beautiful country all around. Amazing! I recently spent 3 months in kusadasi; bloody brilliant!
All the best. Ramadan kareem!

Wow early morning I saw this video you made my day bro
Nice start to the day :)
I like to sleep inside this cave after reciting to Allah swt "Rabbana aathina minladhunka rahmathan wa hayyeelana min amrina rashadhaa" and see if I can escape this Dajjals world and wake up when Jesus returns! 😍
What an imagination.
Very nice place and overview!
Its interesting that in Bosnia we have old local narration aswell about Ashab al-Kahf.
Near todays old fortress of small Bosnian city - Glamoč, 60km north from ancient city Salona (capital of Roman province of Dalmatia), there are stone inscripted names of seven sleepers (Jemlih, Mislin, Miksilin, Mernosh, Debernosh, Shadnosh, Kefeshtatiosh).
According to narration, sleepers found shelter there in 3th century from persecution of cruel Roman emperor Diocletian.
Near that cave, there are also ruin remainings of old mosque that was possibly built by sultan Mehmed II Conqueror or later in 16th century.
Also, as Bosniak, i would like to share some interesting history overview of monotheism continuity in Bosnia from Arius to Ottomans.
Monotheism has deep continuity there from (early unit(arian) christianity, medieval heresy and Islam).
Arius and his followers were deposed and exiled into Illyricum on June 19, 325 as aftermath of Nicene Creed. (center of Illyricum is present mountainous Bosnia) Later on, his belief was supported by Illyrian Arian bishops of late 4th c. (Palladius and Secundianus), contemporaries of Wulfilla - Gothic Arian bishop. Ostrogothic kingdom rooted Gothic christianity all over present Bosnian territory, and left over Arian basilica ruins. Official heretical Bosnian church in medieval period fused Arianism, eastern Manicheanism, Dualism, Paulicianism and western Catharism, Patarenism as opposition to Vatican and Constantinopole. At the end, complex interior political clash of Bosnian kingdom nobility, religious similarities, non forced conversion and ottoman sympathies resulted conquest of Bosnia without conflict.
Selam, and Ramadan mubarek !
Salam and Ramadan Mubarak to you also :)
JazakAllah Khair and thank you for the very detailed useful information. I have taken note and will try and visit these places on my next trip to Bosnia. Such an amazing country!
@@JuberAhmedTravel Unfortunately there aren't many related scientific sources available. That legend is barely known and kept even here in Bosnia, mostly because of constant turbulence and migrations. Not quite sure if Glamoč city would be interesting for tourists, because i doubt they reconstructed destroyed buildings from 1992 war, including old mosque yet.
But yeah, there are hundreds of other interesting places in Bosnia to take into consideration.
JazakAllah Khair and welcome to Bosnia :)
@@brezovprut4431 It's still interesting to learn about all these possibilities. It all fascinates me so appreciate you mentioning it. Bosnia has definitely suffered a lot but it still remains a beautiful country with vast history :)
