Sura Al-Kahf from 84 to 97

84. Verily, We established him in the earth, and We gave him the means of everything.
85. So he followed a way.
86. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy ( or hot ) water. And he found near it a people. We ( Allâh ) said ( by inspiration ) : « O Dhul- Qarnain! Either you punish them, or treat them with kindness. »
87. He said: « As for him ( a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh ) who does wrong, we shall punish him, and then he will be brought back unto his Lord, Who will punish him with a terrible torment ( Hell ) .»
88. « But as for him who believes ( in Allâh’s Oneness ) and works righteousness, he shall have the best reward, ( Paradise ) , and we ( Dhul- Qarnain ) shall speak unto him mild words ( as instructions ) . »
89. Then he followed another way,
90. Until, when he came to the rising place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We ( Allâh ) had provided no shelter against the sun.
91. So ( it was ) ! And We knew all about him ( Dhul- Qarnain ) .
92. Then he followed ( another ) way,
93. Until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before ( near ) them ( those two mountains ) , a people who scarcely understood a word.
94. They said: « O Dhul- Qarnain! Verily Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj ( Gog and Magog ) [ 1 ] are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them? »
95. He said: « That ( wealth, authority and power ) in which my Lord had established me is better ( than your tribute ) . So help me with strength ( of men ) , I will erect between you and them a barrier.»
96. « Give me pieces ( blocks ) of iron; » then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain- cliffs, he said: « Blow; » then when he had made them ( red as ) fire, he said: « Bring me molten copper to pour over them. »
97. So they [ Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj ( Gog and Magog ) ] could not scale it or dig through it.

[1] (V.18:94) Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj [Gog and Magog (people)]: To know about them in detail - please see Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. II, Pages 55-58.
Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh that one day Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) entered upon her in a state of fear and said, « Lâ ilâha illallâh ( none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh ) ! Woe to the Arabs from the great evil that has approached ( them ) . Today a hole has been opened in the dam of Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj ( Gog and Magog ) like this. » The Prophet ( saas ) made a circle with his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh added: I said, « O Allâh’s Messenger!, Shall we be destroyed though there will be righteous people among us? » The Prophet ( saas ) said: « Yes if Al- Khabath * ( evil persons ) increased. » ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.9, Hadith No.249 ) .
*The word Al- Khabath is interpreted as illegal sexual intercourse and illegitimate children and every kind of evil deed. ( See Fath Al- Bari, Vol. 16, Page 225 ) .
