Dhul-Qarnayn

Dhul-Qarnayn(stories from Qurran)

Dhul-Qarnayn was a man who traveled extensively throught the earth.Dhul-Qarnayn had great Power.He had all that kings could have of might, armies, war equipment and siege machinery.' So he had dominion over the east and the west. All countries and their kings submitted to him. He was called Dhul-Qarnayn because he reached the two "Horns" of the sun, east and west, where it rises and where it sets.
He had power to conquer all areas, regions and countries, to defeat enemies, suppress the kings of the earth. He was given all that a man like him would need.He followed different routes, east and west.
Once he followed a route until he reached the furthest point that could be reached in the direction of the sun's setting, which is the west of the earth.
He saw the sun as if it were setting in the ocean.
Dhul-Qarnayn then traveled from the west towards the east. Every time he passed a nation.He subjugated the people and called them to Allah. If they obeyed him, all well and good. Otherwise he would humiliate them and take their wealth and possessions. From every nation he took that his armies needed to fight the next nation. When he reached the place where the sun rises ۔
They had no buildings or trees to cover them and shade them from the heat of the sun.They were in a land where nothing grew, so when the sun rose they would go into tunnels until it had passed its zenith. Then they would come out to go about their daily lives and earn themselves a living.'
Then he traveled from the east of the earth until he reached a place between the two mountains which were next to one another with a valley .From this valley 'juj and Ma'juj will emerge into the land of the Turks and spread mischief there, destroying crops and people. one of the core characteristics of the people is this aspect of causing fasaad. Ya'juj and Ma'juj are among the progeny of Hazrat Adam (A.Sۤ)
People requested to build a barrier between two mountins because Ya'juj and Ma'juj were in great mischief in the land. They wanted to collect money among themselves to give to him so that he would create a barrier between them and Ya'juj and Ma'juj. Dhul-Qarnayn said with kindness that the power and authority that Allah has given me is better for me than what you have collected.
He said,''I will erect between you and them a barrier. Give me Zubar of iron. These pieces were like bricks or blocks, and it was said that each block weighed one Damascene Qintar .
He put the blocks on top of one another, starting at the bottom, until he reached the tops of the mountains, filling the width and height of the gap.
Ya'juj and Ma'juj could not climb over the barrier or penetrate its lower portion. After it was built by Dhul-Qarnayn.He said: This is a mercy from my Lord for the people, when he placed a barrier between them and Ya'juj and Ma'juj, to stop them from spreading evil and corruption on earth.but when the promise of my Lord comes He shall Dakka' it down to the ground and will make it flat.
A day will surely come when the barrier will be breached and these people (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) will come out surging over mankind to destroy their wealth and propert. All of this will happen before the Day of Resurrection and after the Dajjal. 
On the day before of Resurrection  Ya'juj and Ma'juj  will say, ‘We have defeated the people of
earth, and overcome the people of Heaven.’ Then Allah will send a kind
of worm in the napes of their necks, and they will be killed by it

Hadith 
 
“Zaynab Bint Jahsh said that the Hazrat Muhammad  (PBUH) came to her in a state of fear, and said, ‘There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an evil that has come close. Today a breach has occurred in the Barrier of , Ya'juj and Ma'juj  like this’, and he made a circle with his finger and thumb. Hazrat Zaynab Bint Jahsh said: I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Would we be destroyed while there are good people amongst us?’ He said, ‘Yes, if the bad becomes much’
