Bismi'llaah wal hamdulilaah was-salaatu wa salaam 'ala Rasulilaah wa ba'd: As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatulaah! Does anyone have any detailed information concerning the (two tribes or people) of Ya'juj and Ma'juj which could answer the questions below? When the king Dhu'l-Qarnayn (rahimahullaah) who (ruled the east & west) traveled eastwards until he reached a pass between two mountains, where he came upon the Ya'juj and Ma'juj as mentioned in the following ayah:
#1) Do we know where the king was traveling from? And do we know where these two particular mountains are located that he came upon? #2) Ibn Kathir(rahimahullaah) mentions that the Ya'juj and Ma'juj are two groups of Turks, descended from Yafith (Japheth), one of the sons of Nuh ('alaihi as-salaam). Was Yafith the same son (of Nuh) who remained with the disbelievers as mentioned in the ayaat below?
Or was Yafith a different son (not mentioned in the ayaat) who was saved along with Nuh ('alaihi as-salaam)? #3) And lastly, what do the 'Ulema say concerning the "inspiration" that was received by king Dhu'l-Qarnayn (rahimahullaah) from Allaah? Do we understand this to mean the kings (knowledge and understanding) or did he receive "inspiration" in the same manner as a prophet?
If anyone knows by way of tafseer or has any statements from the 'Ulema (past or present) which answer these questions, please provide insha'Allaah. Barak Allaahu Feekum ÅÈÑÇåíã ÇáÈÎÇÑí Ibraheem al-Bukharee
