                        his verse contains clear signs of the End Times and the Hour.
                        The discovery of the Companions of the Cave could be a sign
               T T for the good, that even if they exist far apart from one another,
               one day they will definitely meet each other. Allah reveals this truth
               with "so race each other to the good. Wherever you are, Allah will
               bring you all together. Truly Allah has power over all things" (Surat
               al-Baqara, 148).
                  The verse also mentions the decision to build a place of worship on
               the site where the Companions of the Cave were found, which means
               that such places of worship can be built where good and righteous
               devotees of Allah have spent their lives so that they will be remem-
               bered. Also, such places can serve as centers of learning and worship,
               which will help to spread beneficial ideas and good character. These
               places will then become meeting points for the believers who come to-
               gether to remember Allah's name.
