بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

18.21

وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّ اَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا ﱐ اِذْ یَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ بُنْیَانًاؕ-رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْؕ-قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰۤى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا(21)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And this is how We made them known for the people to become aware that the promise of Allah is true and that there is no doubt concerning the Last Day. When the people began disputing amongst themselves regarding them, they said, 'Construct a building over their Cave.' Their Lord knows them well. Those who dominated in this matter said, 'We swear an oath that we will build a Mosque over them (to seek blessings by means of their nearness).'

Commentary

Just as We woke up the People of the Cave, We make people aware of the People of the Cave long after the death of Diqyānūs, so that all people, especially those sceptical about the Day of Judgement from the nation of King Baydarūs, realise that the promise of Allah Almighty is true and that there is no doubt about the Day of Judgement. After the demise of the People of the Cave, the people began to argue about constructing a building in their vicinity. Hence, “Build a structure over them. Their Lord knows them best.” Those who were influential in their matter, i.e., King Baydarūs and his supporters, said, “We shall most definitely build a masjid near them”; in which the Muslims will pray and gain blessings through their proximity.
