The story describes three men from the tribe of Bani Isra’el who take shelter in a cave during heavy rain. Suddenly, a large boulder rolls down and blocks the cave’s entrance, leaving them trapped in complete darkness. With no visible solution, they realise that only Allah (s.w.t.) can help them.
Each man then recalls his most sincere deed and turns to Allah (s.w.t.) with humility and honesty. Through sincerity alone, this they hoped would help them to come out of the cave. The moral is clear and timeless: Sincerity is the purifier of all good deeds.
