Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Finally, Shaykh Salih asks about Dhul-Qarnayn and about Mu'ajjiz and Mu'ajjiz? Yes.

Answer:
As for Dhul-Qarnayn, he was a righteous king whom Allah granted sovereignty over the earth and empowered with strength. He traveled across the earth and carried out reforms, among which was building a barrier between the people of the earth and Ya'juj and Ma'juj. They are a nation of people, a creation of Allah from the descendants of Adam, characterized by aggression, harm, and tyranny. So he built this barrier. For this reason, the people of that region said to him:
indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the landإِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
[Al-Kahf 18:94]
. They are corrupters, and they complained of their corruption, so he built this barrier.
A barrier between them and the people of the earth, which Allah made a mercy for the servants. When the time of the Hereafter and the standing of the Hour comes, they will emerge from this barrier and spread corruption in the earth. When
when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it levelجَاءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّاءَ
[Al-Kahf 18:98]
, when the promise of my Lord comes
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّي فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّاءَ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي حَقًّا
[Al-Kahf 18:98]
, this is the wisdom of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
