		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of Dhul Qarnain's story, Dhul Qarnain’s statement was quoted which indicated upon the perishing nature of the wall which also alluded to the Yajooj Majooj breaking free. In the upcoming verses, Haq Ta'aala mentions the specific circumstances associated to the time of this breaking free and (in a general sense) the perishing of the Dunya itself followed by its re-creation. Furthermore the subsequent reward and punishment, and the matters and deeds which are the cause for such reward and punishment, are mentioned briefly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, it seems that Dhul Qarnain was some pious and righteous king; either a prophet or a wali who was adopting the way of a prophet. Then in the case of being a wali, this conversation was either by way of inspiration or through the informing of a prophet. Perhaps the reason for his title being Dhul Qarnain is because “qarn” means ‘jaanib’ (side, as in this side of the Atlantic) and the duality is indicative upon abundance. Since he achieved dominance over the corners of the earth, he was known as Dhul Qarnain - and Allah knows best.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hence agreement was reached. Then the two moved forward in a certain direction. Most probably, Yusha’ (عليه السلام) accompanied them. However, he was subordinate to Sayidna Musa (عليه السلام) and mention of the one followed relieves from the need to mention the follower; until, while proceeding on their journey they reached a place where the need to board a boat arose. At that time when they boarded the boat, the elder sliced it by removing a plank thereof and then perhaps repaired it. Also, perhaps the occupants of the boat were his devotees and for this reason did not stand in his way. Musa (عليه السلام) said, Did you create this rip in it solely to drown its occupants? That is to say, such harm resulting from this was not far-fetched and although such harm was merely a possibility, but as long as no prevailing benefit justified it, it was also obligatory to refrain from anticipated harm. For now, no prevailing benefit exists. You have done something grave (meaning reckless) indeed! The elder said, Did I not say, You will not be able to maintain patience with me? After all, that is exactly what happened. You were not able to hold to your word. Musa (عليه السلام) said, I did not remember. Therefore, please do not hold me accountable upon my forgetfulness and do not place undue difficulty in my matter of companionship in that even forgetfulness is not pardoned. Let it be.

		<description><![CDATA[Above we saw the request of the prominent disbelievers rejected wherein they sought the removal of the poor believers from the Prophet’s teaching area (sallallahu alaihi wassalam). In the upcoming verses this rejection is further clarified with one story of Sayidna Musa (alaihis salam). He saw no shame at all in making one lower than him a teacher in certain specific matters of knowledge. You on the other hand feel ashamed of merely having these poor people as classmates.

And remember that time when Musa (alaihis salam) said to his servant, whose name was Yusha [narrated by al-Bukhari], I will continuously move forward in this journey until I reach the place where the two seas meet. Otherwise, I will keep going for a substantially long time. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the upcoming verses, related to the same, we are told of the ill fate of Iblis due to arrogance. We also learn of these people being his followers and this followership not benefiting them in the least, rather their being punished due to it. Furthermore, their disputation in the matter of the Qur’an and messengership, their indifference to sound proofs, the declaration of despair from their bringing faith for the purpose of comforting the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), the wisdom behind their punishment being delayed in spite of them being punishment-worthy, are all topics addressed in the upcoming ten verses.

		<description><![CDATA[There are multiple opinions regarding the difference between Rasool and Nabi. While taking into account various verses, what seems the most established to us is that the relationship between the two positions is that of ‘umoom wa khusoos min wajhin’. Rasool is he who delivers a new sacred law to the ones being addressed, regardless of whether it is a new law with respect to the messenger himself, like the Tawrat was for Sayidna Musa (عليه السلام), or one passed down as in the case of Ismaeel (عليه السلام), who was sent to the people of Jurhum. This was the same law of Ibrahim (عليه السلام), however, the Jurhumites became aware of the law through Ismaeel; for them it was new. Also, regardless of whether the Rasool is also a prophet or not, i.e. as angles have been termed rusul whereas they were not prophets, or as those sent by other prophets for the purpose of propagation as mentioned in Surah Yaseen.

Nabi on the other hand is he who receives divine revelation, irrespective of whether the given sacred law is new or old. This was the case with the majority of the prophets of Bani Israeel. Most were propagating the laws of Musa (عليه السلام). However, due to it being generally understood that a Rasool will also be a prophet (although not technically required), it is not permissible to use to the term for a non-prophet.

		<description><![CDATA[O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), In this book (the Quran) mention the story of Ibrahim (عليه السلام) in front of the people, so that the issues of Tawheed and Risalah may become very clear for them. He was a person of immense truth in every statement and deed, and he was also a Prophet. The story intended to be mentioned here occurred when He said to his father (a polytheist) O Father, Why do you worship that which hears nothing, sees nothing and does not benefit you at all? This is referring to idols. Keep in mind that even if one possessed these attributes of hearing, seeing, and benefiting, such a being would still not be worthy of worship due to not being wajib al-wujood. Let alone one who isn’t even attributed with the above; it goes without saying that such would definitely be unworthy of worship.]]></description>
