And these are the world of the Exalted: Until when Yajouj and Majouj are released, and they would be descending from every elevation [21:96] ’. [4] Who was Zulqarnayn and what is his story?

وسئل أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام عن ذي القرنين أنبيا كان أم ملكا ؟ And Amir Al-Momineen -asws was asked about Zulqarnayn, ‘Was he a Prophet -as or a king?’ فقال: لا نبيا ولا ملكا بل عبدا أحب الله فأحبه، ونصح لله فنصح له، فبعثه إلى قومه فضربوه على قرنه الايمن فغاب عنهم ما شاء الله أن يغيب He -asws said: ‘Neither a Prophet -as nor a king, but a servant who loved Allah -azwj , and He -azwj Loves him, and he advised for (the Sake of) Allah -azwj , and He -azwj Advised him.

He -azwj Sent him to his people, but they struck upon his right horn. He was absent from them for as long as Allah -azwj Desired him to be absent. ثم بعثه الثانية فضربوه على قرنه الايسر فغاب عنهم ما شاء الله أن يغيب، ثم بعثه الله الثالثة فمكن الله له في الارض وفيكم مثله – يعني نفسه Then He -azwj Sent him secondly, but they struck him upon his left horn, and he was absent from them for as long as Allah -azwj Desired him to be absent.

Then Allah -azwj Sent him for the third time, and Allah -azwj Enamelled for him in the land, and among you all is his example’ – meaning himself -asws .
