18.95-96-97

قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّیْ فِیْهِ رَبِّیْ خَیْرٌ فَاَعِیْنُوْنِیْ بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ رَدْمًاۙ (95) اٰتُوْنِیْ زُبَرَ الْحَدِیْدِؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا سَاوٰى بَیْنَ الصَّدَفَیْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوْاؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَعَلَهٗ نَارًاۙ-قَالَ اٰتُوْنِیْۤ اُفْرِغْ عَلَیْهِ قِطْرًاﭤ(96) فَمَا اسْطَاعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّظْهَرُوْهُ وَ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا لَهٗ نَقْبًا(97)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

He said, “What my Lord has granted me power over is better, so assist me with strength (manpower),[1] I shall make a fortified barrier between you and them. Bring to me pieces of iron.”[1] Until, when he made the wall level with the edges of both mountains, ˹then˺ he said, “Blow!” Until, he made it into fire. ˹Then˺ he said, “Bring me molten copper that I may pour over it.” So they were neither able to climb it nor were they able to make a hole in it.

Commentary

[1]

Dhul Qarnayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ sought the help of the nation. Thus, we come to know that seeking help from other than God is permissible and not polytheistic.

[2]

Muslims ought to move forward with technological advances, as many of the public can save themselves from many issues and difficulties by means of it. Also, it is beneficial in terms of the economy, and in providing protection against enemies.
