And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

இன்னும், நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ்வின் வாக்குறுதி உண்மையானது என்றும், நிச்சயமாக கியாம நாளிலும் சந்தேகமில்லை என்றும் அப்பட்டணவாசிகள் அறிந்து கொள்வதற்காகவே, இவ்வாறு அவர்களைப் பற்றிய (விஷயத்)தை வெளியாக்கினோம்; (அப்பட்டணவாசிகளோ) "இவர்கள் யார் என்பதை பற்றி தர்க்கித்துக் கொண்டதை (நபியே! நினைவு கூறும்) "இவர்கள் (இருந்த இடத்தின்) மீது ஒரு கட்டடத்தைக் கட்டுங்கள்; இவர்களை(ப் பற்றி) இறைவனே நன்கறிவான் என்றனர்; இ(வ்விவாதத்)தில் எவர்களுடைய கருத்து மிகைத்ததோ அவர்கள்; "நிச்சயமாக அவர்கள் மீது ஒரு மஸ்ஜிதை அமைப்போம்" என்று கூறினார்கள்.

තවද නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ්ගේ ප්‍රතිඥාව සත්‍ය බවද, නියත වශයෙන් ම අවසන් හෝරාව කිසිදු සැකයකින් තොරව පැමිණෙනු ඇතැයිද යන්න ජනයා දැන ගනු පිණිස එලෙස අපි ඔවුන්ගේ තත්ත්වය ගැන නගරවාසීන්ට ප්‍රකාශ කළෙමු. එවිට (ලෙනෙහි සිටි) ඔවුන්ගේ කටයුතු සම්බන්ධයෙන් (නගරවාසීන්) එකිනෙකා අතර වාද කරමින් සිටියහ. ඔවුන්ගෙන් සමහරුන් ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් ඔවුන්(ගේ ලෙන) මත ඉදි කරනු යැයි පැවැසූහ. ඔවුන්ගේ පරමාධිපති ඔවුන් පිළිබඳව මැනවින් දන්නා ය. ඔවුන්ගේ කරුණ සම්බන්ධයෙන් පමණ ඉක්මවා ගියවුන් ඔවුන් වෙනුවෙන් අපි මස්ජිදයක් ඉදි කරමු යැයි පැවසුවෝ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
ہم نے اس طرح لوگوں کو ان کے حال سے آگاه کر دیا کہ وه جان لیں کہ اللہ کا وعده بالکل سچا ہے اور قیامت میں کوئی شک وشبہ نہیں۔ جب کہ وه اپنے امر میں آپس میں اختلاف کر رہے تھے کہنے لگے کہ ان کے غار پر ایک عمارت بنا لو۔ ان کا رب ہی ان کے حال کا زیاده عالم ہے۔ جن لوگوں نے ان کے بارے میں غلبہ پایا وه کہنے لگے کہ ہم تو ان کے آس پاس مسجد بنالیں گے.

このようにして,われはかれらの消息を明るみに出した。それはアッラーの約束が真実であり,また(最後の審判の)時に就いては,疑いのないことを知らせるためである。すると人びとはかれらの事件に就き互いに論じ,(一人が)言った。「かれらの上に建物を建てよう。主は, かれら(の真意)を最もよく知っておられます。」かれらを牛耳っている者たちが言った。「わたしたちは,かれらの上にマスジドを建立することにしよう。」

我这样使别人窥见他们,以便他们知道真主的诺言是真实的,复活的时刻是毫无可疑的。当时,他们为此事而争论,他们说:你们在他们的4周修一堵围墙--他们的主是最了解他们的!主持事务的人说:我们必定在他们的四周建筑一所礼拜寺。

Tafsir of 18:21

How the People of the City came to know about Them; building a Memorial over the Cave وَكَذلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ (And thus We made their case known,) means, `We caused the people to find them.' لِيَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهَا (that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour.) Several scholars of the Salaf mentioned that the people of that time were skeptical about the Resurrection. `Ikrimah said: "There was a group of them who said that the souls would be resurrected but not the bodies, so Allah resurrected the people of the Cave as a sign and proof of resurrection." They mentioned that when they wanted to send one of their members out to the city to buy them something to eat, he disguised himself and set out walking by a different route, until he reached the city, which they said was called Daqsus. He thought that it was not long since he left it, but in fact century after century, generation after generation, nation after nation had passed, and the country and its people had changed.…
