Many differences of opinion among the Scholars as to whether Yazuz and Maozuz are free or not

There is much disagreement among Scholars as to where the Wall built by King Zulkarnain and whether Yazuz and Maozuz are not free.  Read the post below carefully and compare it with your own knowledge.  Remember, only God knows the real truth ....

 

 1.  Construction of historic wall funded by Zulkarnain

 2.  The Great Wall of Yazuz and Maozuz in the labor of the local people

 3.  Yazuz and Maozuz wall with iron sheets and copper

 'Construction of historic wall funded by Zulkarnain'

   He (Zulkarnain) said, "The power that my Lord has given me in this matter is the best."  So help me with your labor.  I will build a strong wall between you and them.  (Surah: Kahf, verse: 95)

 Tafsir: The people appealed to King Zulkarnain to build a wall to escape the attack of Yazuz and Maozuz.  They wanted to pay for it.  This was described in the previous verse.  The main point of the verse in question is that King Zulkarnain did not accept their money.

 But he asked them for physical labor.  He said, "What Allah Almighty has given me is the best for me."  I don't need any money.  Eventually King Zulkarnain built a historic antique with his Own money and the labor of the local people.  But no one has yet decided where the wall is located.

 A team was sent by the Abbasid Caliph Wasik Billah to observe the wall of Zulkarnain.  Allama Ibn Kathir (R.H.) mentions their return at the end of the observation in the book ‘Al Bidaya wan Nihaya’.

 There is that this wall is made of iron.  It also has large locked doors and is located on the northeast side.  This incident has also been narrated in Tafseer Kabir and Tafseer Tabari.  There is that it is located on the opposite side of Samarkand.  (Tafsir Kabir: 5/51)

 Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (Rah.) In his book ‘Aqeedatul Islam Fi Hayati Isa (AS)’ has described the condition of the walls of Yazuz and Maozuz and Zulkarnain in context.  His descriptions are at an excellent level in terms of research.

  He said that in order to protect themselves from the plunder of Miscreants and Barbarians, walls have been built in many places in the world.  These have been built by different kings in different places.  The largest and most famous of these is the Great Wall of China.  Its length is described by Abu Hayyan Andalusi as 1,200 miles.

 Abu Hayyan was a historian of the Royal Court of Iran.  According to him, the founder of this wall was the Chinese emperor Fagfur.  The date of its construction is given three thousand 480 years after the descent of Adam (peace be upon him).  This wall of China is called 'Ankudah' by the Mughals and 'Burkurka' by the Turks.  He added that a few more such walls were visited in different places.

 Shaykh Maragi writes that some historians have witnessed the Great Wall of Yazuz and Maozuz in the fifteenth century AD.  It is located in the town of Balkh.  His name is 'Babul Hadid'.  It is close to Tirmidhi.  (Tafsirul Maragi: 16 / 13-15)

 'The Great Wall of Yazuz and Maozuz in the labor of the local people'

   He (Zulkarnain) said, "The power that my Lord has given me in this matter is the best."  So help me with your labor.  I will build a strong wall between you and them.  [Surah: Kahf, verse: 95 (second part)]

 Tafsir: The main point of the Verse in question is that the local people wanted to pay for the construction of the Great Wall.  King Zulkarnain did not accept their money.  But he asked them for physical labor.  He said, "What Allah Almighty has given me is the best for me."  I don't need any money.

 Maulana Hifzur Rahman (Rah.) Has presented modern research on where the wall of Zulkarnain is located.  He wrote in his world-famous book, Kisasul Qur'an, that the scope of plunder and destruction of Yazuz and Maozuz was vast.

 On the one hand, those living in the foothills of the Caucasus were the victims of their oppression and persecution.  On the other hand, the inhabitants of Tibet and China were also the target of their attacks all the time.  Multiple walls have been built in different places at different times to protect themselves from the evils of this Yazuz and Maozuz.  The largest and most famous of these is the Great Wall of China.

 The second wall is located near Bukhara and Tirmidhi in Central Asia.  Its location is called Darband.  This wall existed during the reign of the famous Mughal emperor Timur.  Silla Berger Germenio, a special courtier of the Roman emperor, also mentions this in his book.

 Klafsuo, the envoy of the Emperor Castile of Andalusia or Spain, mentioned this in his travelogue.  In 1403, when he arrived at the court of Timur as the emperor's envoy, he passed this place.  He writes that the wall of the Babul Hadith is located on the same road to Musel, which exists between Samarkand and India.  (Jawaharul Qur'an, Tantawi, 9: 198)

 The third wall is located in the Russian territory of Dagestan.  It is also known as Darband and Babul Abwar.  Yakut Humvi has described its condition in detail in Muzamul Buldan and historian Idrisi in Jugrafia and Bustani in Dairatul Maarif.

 In summary, Darband is a Russian city in Dagestan.  The city is located on the west coast of the Caspian Sea.  It extends from 30 north latitude to 430 north latitude and from 150 east longitude to 480 east longitude.  It is also called Nawsherwa in Darband.  However, it is especially famous as Babul Abwab.

 The fourth wall is located on the high plateau of the Caucasus, west of Babul Abwab.  There is a famous pass called Darial between the two hills.  This fourth wall is known here as the Kohkaf or the Wall of the Kaf Mountains.

  Historian Bustani writes that there is another wall near the Babul Abwab wall, which extends to the west.  Perhaps the Persians built it to defend themselves from the clutches of the northern barbarians.  No accurate and pure description of its founder has been known.  Some refer to King Alexander as the founder, and others to the Persian emperor Nowshera.  (Dayratul Ma'arif 7:65)

 All of these walls are located on the north side and were built for almost the same purpose.  So it is difficult to determine which of these is the wall of Zulkarnain.  There is more disagreement about the last two walls.  Because both places are called Darband and there are walls in both places.

 The Great Wall of China is the largest and oldest of the four walls mentioned.  But this is not the wall of Zulkarnain, everyone agrees on this.  Because it is not in the north, it is in the far east.  However, as indicated by the Qur'an, the wall of Zulkarnain is located in the northern part of the country.  (Ma'areful Qur'an)

 'Yazuz and Maozuz Wall with Iron and Copper'

  Bring me the iron sheets.  Then when the space between them was filled and the iron pile became equal to the two mountains, he said, "Keep breathing."  When it became hot, he said, "Bring me molten copper, and I will pour it on it."  (Surah: Kahf, verse: 96)

 Tafsir: In the previous verse, it was said that King Zulkarnain sought the cooperation of the local people for the construction of the Great Wall.  In the verse in question, the type and function of that cooperation has been described.  It is said that the famous wall of Yazuz and Maozuz was made of iron and copper.

 First, King Zulkarnain asked them to deposit iron sheets.  Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Those iron sheets were like bricks.  Zulkarnain made the heads of two mountains equal in length and width with the iron sheets one on top of the other.  Then he set fire to the iron plate.

 Artificial ventilation is arranged to keep the fire from spreading around.  At one stage the iron wall turns into embers.  Then Zulkarnain poured molten copper around.  When molten copper cools down after pouring, it becomes a solid wall.  The whole thing looks like a decorated sheet.  (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

 It is clear that the work took place with the direct participation of the local people and King Zulkarnain.  But where is this wall?  Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (RH) wrote in his book ‘Aqeedatul Islam’ that the wall in the Caucasus Mountains is more likely to be a wall built by Zulkarnain.

 Incidentally, European historians and geographers do not acknowledge the existence of such a miraculous wall.  They also do not acknowledge that the Yazuz and Maozuz route is still closed.  Influenced by their views, some Muslim historians have recently begun to write that Yazuz and Maozuz, described in the Qur'an and Hadith, came out long ago.

 Some have attributed this to the Tatars who arose in the sixth century AH.  Some have called the present-day superpowers Russia, China, and Europeans Yazuz and Maozuz.  In fact, it is completely wrong.  No one can say this without denying the Sahih Hadith.  And it should not be forgotten that the Holy Qur'an has described the uprising of Yazuz and Maozuz as a sign of the Hour.

 However, to say that the wall of Zulkarnain is now broken does not contradict any clear description in the Qur'an and Hadith.  If it is accepted that their work, such as turning the whole world into rubble, has not yet taken place.  Rather, it will be after the appearance of the Dajjal and the descent of Isa (AS).
