Surah Al-Kahf

1.-->Its meaning-The Cave
2.-->The 18th Surah
3.-->110 Ayat
4.-->Meccan Surah
5.-->9-16--verses tell the story of the people of the cav(Ashabu Al-Kahf).
Some number of young monotheistic men lived in a time where they were persecuted. They fled the city together, and took refuge in a cave where they fell asleep.[still researching the whole story]
6.-->Surah al-Kahf also mentions the ruh, or soul/spirit in verse 28, and in the Parable of Two Men in verses 32-44. This story discusses two men who had both been given blessings from God, but one wronged his soul by saying that none of it could ever be taken away from him. At the end of the parable God destroys what he had given the man.
7.-->The third main story within the chapter (verses 60-82) is that of Moses traveling to gain knowledge from another servant of God who is never mentioned by name, but from other sources is called Al-Khidr.
8.Finally, the surah mentions in verses 83-98 a man who traveled a great deal and reached the east and the west of the earth - namely, Dhul- Qarnayan
