In one of his journeys, [[Dhu l-Qarnayn]], a believing king, arrived in a region which was located between two mountains. People of the region told him that "Gog" and "Magog" who lived on the other side of the mountain frequently invaded their lands and plundered everything. People asked Dhu l-Qarnayn to construct a dam preventing "Gog" and "Magog" in exchange for some money. With the help of people, he constructed a dam with molten iron and copper without receiving any money from them. The dam came to be known as the "[[Dam of Dhu l-Qarnayn]]" or the "Dam of Gog and Magog". The [[Qur'an]] has narrated the story in verses 93 to 98 of [[Sura al-Anbiya']]. Some people believe that the dam is located in Darial Gorge in the north of Tbilisi on the [[Georgia]]-[[Russia]] border. | In one of his journeys, [[Dhu l-Qarnayn]], a believing king, arrived in a region which was located between two mountains.
