Tafsir

When Zulqarnayn offered the price that these people would pay in return for their request from Zulqarnayn, Zulqarnayn replied to this people as follows: "The blessing and power in which my Lord has placed me is better. You support me with your strength and I will make an insurmountable barrier between you and them. This is because Allah taught Zulqarnayn knowledge from His Essence, and also made Zulqarnayn the owner of power and might in the world. He has given him knowledge for everything he needs.

In this respect, the blessings that Allah gave to Zulqarnayn are purer and better than the blessings of this world that people offer.

Zulqarnayn did not accept the favors offered to him by this people and ordered them to support him with their forces. He promised to build an impenetrable wall between Gog and Magog.

What is said in the video

He said: the blessing and power in which my Lord has placed me is better. So support me with your strength, and I will build an insurmountable barrier between you and them, he says.

When these people offered the payment they would make to Dhul-Qarnayn for their request, Dhul-Qarnayn answered this people as follows. The blessing and power in which my Lord has placed me is better. So support me with your strength, and I will build an insurmountable barrier between you and them, he said. Because Allah had taught Dhul-Qarnayn knowledge from His own presence. He also made Dhul-Qarnayn a holder of authority and power in the world. He gave him knowledge of everything he needed. For this reason, compared with the worldly goods the people offered, the blessings Allah gave to Dhul-Qarnayn are purer and better.

Dhul-Qarnayn did not accept the goods this people offered him; he told them to support him with their strength. (?) A barrier between Gog and Magog that could not be crossed, he promised to build.
