Are the People of the Cave the People of Ar-Raqim, or are they a different group?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The predominant view is that the People of the Cave and Al-Raqim were one group, contrary to those who claim they were two separate groups, or that they were the three companions of the rock. Nothing has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding their story, names, or location beyond what is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an.
