His Journey East

Allah tells us that Dhul-Qarnayn then traveled from the west of the earth 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

83. They will ask thee of Dhu'l-Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him. 84. Lo! We made him strong in the land and gave him unto every thing a road. 85. And he followed a road 86. Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness. 87. He said: As for him who doeth wrong, we shall punish him, and then he will be brought back unto his Lord, Who will punish him with awful punishment! 88. But as for him who believeth and doeth right, good will be his reward, and We shall speak unto him a mild command. 89. Then he followed a road 90. Till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom. 91. So (it was). And We knew all concerning him. 92. Then he followed a road 93. Till, when he came between the two mountains, he found upon their hither side a folk that scarce could understand a saying. 94. They said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Lo! Gog and Magog are spoiling the land. So may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier between us and them? 95. He said: That wherein my Lord hath established me is better (than your tribute). Do but help me with strength (of men), I will set between you and them a bank. 96. Give me pieces of iron - till, when he had levelled up (the gap) between the cliffs, he said: Blow! - till, when he had made it a fire, he said: Bring me molten copper to pour thereon. 97. And (Gog and Magog) were not able to surmount, nor could they pierce (it). 98. He said: This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord cometh to pass, He will lay it low, for the promise of my Lord is true. 99. And on that day we shall let some of them surge against others, and the Trumpet will be blown. Then We shall gather them together in one gathering. 100. On that day we shall present hell to the disbelievers, plain to view, 101. Those whose eyes were hoodwinked from My reminder, and who could not bear to hear.
