his verse again indicates the solidity of Dhu’l-Qarnayn’s (as)
power. His nation is not so weak as to collapse easily. On the
T T contrary, it is exceedingly strong, assures its own people as
well as other needy nations, and does not cause anxiety in people with
its methods of rule and practices. It appears to be invulnerable, with
Allah's will, for this verse indicates that no internal or external opposi-
tion, pressure, or force could ever affect it, and that his rule is so solid
that no conflict, outbreak of dissent, or revolt could rock it.
Dhu’l-Qarnayn (as) does not accept any recompense in return for his
help. The Qur’an gives other examples about this character of the
Prophets. For instance, Prophet Sulayman (as) rejected the gifts sent to
him:
"I [the queen of Saba] will send them a gift, and then wait and
see what the messengers bring back." When it reached
Sulayman, he said: "Would you give me wealth when what
Allah has given me is better than what He has given you? No,
rather it is you who delight in your gift." (Surat an-Naml, 35-36)
