walakum salaam bro shadab,
in one word, YES... but that info is not in those threads - that info is something I am putting into a series. Some things are worth waiting for. Earlier in this thread, I posed a question.
This question, yields an answer which poses an even better question - one which proves where the barrier was most likely built... I have that information.
If you want it - answer that question correctly.
One thing I keep mentioning here is method. I follow a method of investigation. Studying historical information in a religious context requires a sympathetic methodology, and not one which solely relies on empirical proofs - the obvious reason for this bro shadab, is so we can place the information within the Quran as the foundation into our investigation.
I've heard many naysayers claim that the mystery about dhul qarnayn and ya'juj wa ma'juj are exactly that - mysteries which will remain unsolved until the end of time. With so many signs of the end appearing in our current time frame - I honestly think many people have failed to realise that the time they refer to - is actually the time period we currently inhabit. And so, with their view firmly held, they've locked off any ability to recognise that the plethora of information available from reliable sources outside of the Islamic scholarships are worthy of consideration and more - they are worthy of inclusion in our studies - things like geology, geography, etymology, cartography, people movements and migrations, ancient cultures and traditions, aryanism, sedentary and nomadic peoples, the dna record and the r1a1 gene, the seima turbino phenomenon, metallurgy, and a whole host of other complimentary studies which help us to better contextualise the information within the Quran.
And even our noble prophet Muhammad pbuh said:
‘Utlub il ‘ilma wa law fis-Sin.
The Prophet (s) said, “Seek knowledge even in China,”
And China, during the time of the Prophet pbuh, was not a Muslim nation - in fact it nevr was a majority Muslim nation - But many believe that knowledge should be completely confined to simply the Quran and the Sunnah... how they've managed to deceive themselves with that train of thought is beyond my ability to comprehend or even justify that statement.
Knowledge is knowledge, and one thing I've come to understand is that the more we acquire it, the more we find it's relativity to all that knowledge applies to.
I've taken the time to respond to you here simply because you've claimed you've read those threads yet posted that the information is unproductive...
that made me smile, simply because you have not understood the information and what it portends to. Something similar happened in the elenin thread, I tried to warn people they were committing shirk - they didn't listen, in the end I made a video and then they listened, and repented. So I guess, I will have to make this series when i am ready, and that will probably do a better job of presenting my findings than any forum post ever can in sha Allah.
Allah knows best.
Scimi
