Chapter 15: Dhu’l Qarnayn
During the time of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), there lived a king known as Dhu’l Qarnayn, who performed Tawaf around the Ka‘bah with Prophet Ibrahim when the House of Allah was first established.
Allah SWT granted Dhu’l Qarnayn great authority, allowing him to rule over both the eastern and western lands. As he travelled toward the east, he encountered the tribes of Ya’juj and Ma’juj, who were spreading corruption across the earth and harming the people.
The residents of the city sought the help of Dhu’l Qarnayn and asked him to build a barrier to protect them from these tribes.
With their assistance, Dhu’l Qarnayn constructed a massive barrier made from iron, copper, and tar.
This structure confined Ya’juj and Ma’juj, preventing them from breaking through or climbing over it. They began digging at the barrier, and they have continued to do so for centuries, until the time Allah SWT wills for them to come out.
Eventually, Ya’juj and Ma’juj will break free and spread across the earth, causing great fitnah and killing many people.
When Prophet Isa (AS) makes Dua to Allah SWT regarding them, Allah will send some sort of a worm that will strike the back of their necks, causing their destruction.
