clothes" (Surat al-Muddaththir, 4).
The following two verses also mention good and clean foods:
So eat from what Allah has provided for you, lawful and good,
and be thankful for His blessing, if it is Him you worship.
(Surat an-Nahl, 114)
Eat of the good things We have provided for you, but do not go
to excess in it, or My anger will be unleashed on you. Anyone

who has My anger unleashed on him has plunged to his ruin.
(Surah Ta Ha, 81)
Surat al-Kahf 19 also points out that believers prefer to buy their
food in cities. Perhaps this is because they can find a greater variety of
foods there. Cities also have another benefit for believers, for the call to
faith begins in the cities:
This is a Book We have sent down and blessed, confirming
what came before it, so that you can warn the Mother of Cities
[Makka] and the people around it. Those who believe in the
Hereafter believe in it and safeguard their prayer. (Surat al-
An`am, 92)
Surat al-Kahf 19 also reminds believers to be gentle and courteous at
all times, for this is a requirement of the Qur'an's morals.
Another possible understanding of this account of the Companions
of the Cave is that the Muslims of the End Times generally will stay at
home to avoid attracting attention to themselves at a time of great
wickedness and rule by such anti-religious ideologies as fascism or
communism. Or, it might be suggesting that believers, when required,
will be at home for long periods of time in order to develop in science
and knowledge. It is related that the Prophet (saas) advised those who
sought his views on the End Times to "stay at home." (Abu Dawud)
