About the content and the goal of Sura al-Kahf, it is said that through threats and good news, it invites people toward the truth and righteous deeds. In this sura, it is also emphasized that God has no child; as, in some verses, those who have considered children for God are threatened. Thus, this sura addresses those who believed that angels, [[jinn]]s and righteous people are children of God and [[Christian]]s who believe that [[Jesus (a)]] is son of God. It is also said that it is possible that this sura was revealed to narrate the three extraordinary stories of the Companions of the Cave, Moses (a) and one of God's servants and the story of Dhu l-Qarnayn. These stories are mentioned all in one place, contrary to most other stories in the Qur'an which are divided in different suras.
