<p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>3 Questions asked to prove his prophecy:</span><span><br /> <br /> <span>1. On Ashabul Kahf (the People of the Cave);</span><br /> <br /> <span>2. On Ruh and</span><br /> <br /> <span>3. On the man who went around the globe i.e. Dhul-Qarnain.</span><br /> <br /> <span>2 questions, the prophet was guided. Out of the 16 questions directed, one was answered by Allah (SWT) directly.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>Ruh- \"When they ask you about Me, say I am near\".<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>The Qur\'an says \"fa inni qarib\".</span><br /> <br /> <span>Dhul Qarnain - granted amazing strengths -<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>Inna makanna lahu fil ardhi ; he was \'makmun indullah - one who is trusted by Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) entrusted him to rule the earth.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>Only 4 people given extra ordinary power.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>2 were mukmin and 2 were kuffar.</span><br /> <br /> <span>Mukmins were Sulaiman and Dhul-Qarnain.</span><br /> <br /> <span>Kuffar were: Bukhtunsir and Namrud.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>There are many versions of Dhul-Qarnain. Some thought he was Iskander al-Yunani, the man who built Akexandria in Egypt and who lived in the times of Prophet Ibrahim. He was well known as Alexandra the Great. One of his advisors was Aristotle whose world view did not conform to Tawheed.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span>Dhul-Qarnain was actually Iskander al-Maqduni who lived during the reign of Prophet Ibrahim; Allah (SWT) did not mention his real name but referred to his qualities, his akhlak and his deeds for us to emulate.<span>&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><span></span></span></p> </p>
