Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 87

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf. As we go through fourth major story of Al Kahf, let's recap.
First story of Kahf Boys is about  coercive thwarting from Tauheed (Oneness of Allah) by the Roman officialdom.  We face this problem today more than ever from govts & society. Second story, 'Men of Two Gardens' is about material pursuits that cause us to forget God. We are living that story. Third story of Musa & Khizar AS is about knowledge or lack of it. We believe today that we have got knowledge more than ever before and in last Century we killed each other more than hitherto killings of entire recorded history. Last, story (our current story about Zulqarnain) is about establishing the writ of God on earth by eliminating the greatest evil of dajjal. 
Sequence of these stories is the sequence of eschatology with its finale in Armageddon. A fitting end of the story written by none other than The Master Story writer who taught imaginations of story tellers the art of story writing.
Today's Ayah No 87 is about authority rested in Zularnain to decide upon the fate of an extra terrestrial creature putting up closer to a black hole. Zulqarnain must have had a special place in Allah’s Court because it was left to him to decide upon the fate of this nation. Him being chosen one, made a very precise statement that only wrongdoers shall be taken to task in this world and the next.
Blessed Week
