lions don't hide, they roar

Were they actually running away from people? 

If i was planning to hide for a long time, i'd have brought along supplies. At least some food. They didn't even have food.

And the youths of the cave thought that they were asleep only for a day. A day! And they straight away sent one of the guys to buy some food. People wouldn't forget you if you only disappeared for a day. 

That means they weren't hiding from people. Recharging? Strategising? Allah knows best. 

But du'aat (callers) don't hide. They are like shining lanterns in the middle of a dark and lost people. Happy friday dear readers :)
