Examine the stories of the Prophets pbuh.
Prophet Musa---pbuh Pharaoh was so afraid a boy will be born to over take him, he ordered all boys in the land to be killed. Guess, the very boy who shows up at in his door step and the Pharaoh wife fell in love with, is the very boy who will over throw him.
Talk about a story with a twist!
Another Magnificent story is the Prophet Yusuf pbuh. His brothers planned to get rid of him, and he ends up being a king and saves his half brothers during famine times.
Do u have other Quran stories with a twist?
The Story of The Companions Of The Cave:
The story is mentioned in Surah Al Kahf and the story is about a group of young people, who were in their teens. Allah (SWT[4]) says about them what can be translated as, “Surely they were young men who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.” (TMQ[5], 18: 13).
The surah begins with condemning those who claim that Allah (SWT) has a child, “Praise be to Allah Who has sent down upon His bondman the Book and has not made to it any crookedness; most upright, to warn of strict violence from very close to Him, and to give good tidings to the believers who do very deeds of righteousness that they will have a fair reward; staying therein forever. And to warn the ones who have said, ‘Allah has taken to Him a child.’ In no way do they have any knowledge of it, (they) nor their fathers. An odious (Literally: great) word it is, coming out (Literally: going out) of their mouths; decidedly they say nothing except a lie.” (TMQ, 18: 1-5).

“The cave” was chosen to be the name of the surah because it symbolizes choice. Every one of us will get into a situation where he or she must choose between faith in Allah and this worldly life. For example, when Suhaib ar-Roomi (RA) immigranted from Makkah to Madinah[10], he had to leave all his wealth behind and he did not hesitate in doing that. Another example is that when Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Prize winner, wanted to establish a bank for the needy using his own money. His wife objected and told him that he was wasting the money of their children and asked him to choose between staying with her or going on with his charity project. He chose his project. I wonder what his wife thinks now after he got the Nobel Prize!
Wa Billaahi Tawfiiq!
