One of the Qur’an’s most popular stories is the cave sleepers' story in chapter 18. A group of youths were being persecuted for
their monotheistic belief. They hid inside a small cave with their dog sitting
right at the mouth of the cave. When they woke up, one of them went to town surreptitiously to buy food, only to discover that everything had changed,
including the currency. They had slept for 309 years. Although it is not
impossible for God to make them sleep that long and their dog to sit equally in
the same period…it is illogical for them not to have aged. Obviously, they were
transported in time 309 lunar years into the future.
Qur’an 18:18; “If you have seen the youth’s transformation
inside the cave, you would have been terrified and ran.” I believe that this
verse referred to that moment in time when they were sucked into a time tunnel
(wormholes). Although they did not end up in another galaxy or another
worldly dimension…they ended up in another place in time, 309 lunar years into
their future.
In another…
Qur’an 2:259: “But Allah caused him to die a hundred years
and then raised him up again. He said: “How long did thou tarry?” Thus, he said: “Perhaps a day or part of a day.” He said: ”Nay, thou have tarried thus a hundred
years. But look at thy food and thy drink; they showed no signs of age and look
at thy donkey: and that we make of thee a sign unto the people.”
