1. In the story of the Dhul Qarnayn, he marched to the East conquering one country after the other till he came to a place where sun is rising upon a nation, what he found?
Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : People have no shelter against the sun (no shade, trees or tents)
Ref: Surah Al-Kahf 18: 90
Arabic:
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًۭا ٩٠
Translation:
until he reached the rising ˹point˺ of the sun. He found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no shelter from it.1
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Dhul-Qarnayn continued his journey until he reached the farthest eastern region.
-
There, he found a people who had no shelter from the sun—living in a very primitive or exposed environment.
-
This shows the vastness of his travels and his encounter with diverse civilizations.
-
Despite their backward state, he treated them with justice and care.
-
The verse highlights Allah’s control over time, place, and people, and the test of leadership with wisdom.
