People of the Cave
The people of the cave whose number is said to be seven were living during the reign of the tyrant king Daqiyanūs. Daqiyanūs had claimed divinity and people used to follow him. But suddenly the hearts of these seven people became illuminated with true belief.
They set aside the false claims of Daqiyanūs and in order to tread the path of true beliefs, renounced the worldly power and headed for the mountains and hid themselves in a cave.
This incident is described in detail in Surah al-Kahf. Their example is preserved in history till the Day of the Judgement.
