Cave of the Seven Sleepers. The verse Al Kahf as mentioned in the Al Quran. It is the story of seven young men during Roman times (pre-Byzantine) escaping persecution and seeking refuged in a cave. They slept in the cave and when they woke up they had no idea that they had slept for 300 years. The 'sleepers' thought they had only slept for a few hours. After their story was widely known, the 'sleepers' died.
Centuries later, during the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, the Jews of Medina challenged him to tell the story of the 'sleepers' knowing that none of the Arabs knew about it. By the grace of Almighty Allah, the Angel Gabriel revealed the story to Prophet Muhammad through the verse, Al Kahf.
since when is the cave of Al-Kahf in Jordan, it took place in Rome. In that point of history Romans(idol worshipers) were killing the Muslims

Absence to love is what wind is to fire.It extinguishes the small, it inflames the great. All things are difficult before they are easy. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Keep good men company and you shall be of the number. Knowledge makes humble, ignorance makes proud.Learning makes a good man better and ill worse.

@ bobaira, could you explain how Romans were killing Muslims at that time when Prophet Mohammad was not born until couple of hundred years later after the awakening of the seven sleepers. The exact location is still a mystery, but people believe it's either in Ephesus, Turkey or in Amman, Jordan where both of these cities were ruled by the Roman Empire.

Loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone means you just have no one beside you but loneliness means that you cannot talk with others and share them with your feelings. And the true loneliness is that you even forget how it feels when you love someone.by http://www.jeansfactoryoutletonline.com/

Cars and houses are quite expensive and not everybody is able to buy it. However, mortgage loans are invented to help people in such kind of situations.
