s this verse indicates, the Companions of the Cave's con-
cealment lasted for a certain period, after which they
A A awoke at a time of Allah's willing and by His will. The
people of faith's concealment in the End Times will continue until the
destined time by Allah comes. Then, all secrecy will be abandoned, and
the believers will mix with the people freely and tell them the truth
about faith, Allah's existence, and the Qur'an's morality.
Only Allah knows how long this period will last, for as this verse in-
dicates, the number of years, days, and hours of this period is within
His knowledge. Surat al-Jinn reveals Allah's attribute of Al-Muhsi (The
Reckoner, The One Who knows the number of everything even though
infinite):
So that He may know that they have indeed transmitted the
Messages of their Lord. He encompasses what is in their hands,
and has counted the exact number of everything. (Surat al-Jinn,
28)
