Companions of the cave, Religious cave in Raqim, Jordan

The cave contains seven stone burial chambers arranged in a sequence along its walls, with ancient inscriptions carved into the rock surfaces.

In the third century CE, seven young men sought refuge in this cave to escape religious persecution, leading to the famous story of their centuries-long sleep.

Muslims and Christians regard this location as the resting place of the Seven Sleepers mentioned in both the Quran and Christian texts.

The cave opens toward the south, allowing sunlight to penetrate at different angles throughout the day, matching descriptions in religious texts.

Geological studies indicate the cave's soil composition contains specific minerals that aid in natural preservation of organic materials.
