The Seven Sleepers (Arabic: , "companions of the cave") are a group of youths who hide inside a cave outside the city of Ephesus around 250 AD, to escape a persecution. The king forced his entire kingdom to worship idols and whoever did not would be killed. These men escaped as their faith in God (their belief varies by regional origin) was strong, and they refused to worship idols. The story is one of the many examples of the legend about a man who falls asleep and years after wakes up to find the world changed.
