Today's Ayah No 93 is about third journey of Zulqarnain in last and final story of Al Kahf. Remember Jews of Medina tipped off Meccan idolators to ask Aqa Alaihe Salato Wassalam about Zulqarnain if He (PBUH) was the Messenger of God. In eschatology Jews, their curiosity about Zulqarnain, text of Al Kahf & Gog Mgog (mentioned in next Ayah No 94) have important roles and we shall be able to connect the dots in due course.
Returning of our Ayah of the day which gives us clues of life on other planets and universes. Keeping the translation very simple, Zulqarnain took the portal to some other galaxy until he reached between two barriers. Although السدین here is translated as mountains but in Ayah No 8 of Surah Yasin the same word is translated as a barrier, we shall go by the same meaning (barrier) here as well. Beyond, two barriers, Zulqarnain found a nation who wouldn't understand his language but he understood their's. In his last two travels, there was no such issue and communication was two ways. How Zulqarnain knew languages of every nation he came across? There were no means to learn other languages. He must be a very special servant of Allah bestowed upon with special knowledge.
Secondly, the barriers mentioned in this Ayah deserve a mention. Why two barriers? Could these not be electromagnetic barriers at the start & end of a portal? Subsequent Ayahs may help us unfold new vistas of mysterious Al Kahf/ Zulqarnain stories.
Blessed Week.
