Transliteration:( Kazaalika wa qad ahatnaa bimaa ladaihi khubraa )
"Such is the case. And We have full knowledge of everything he had [205]."
This verse affirms that Dhul-Qarnayn’s strength, resources, and achievements were exceptional, but ultimately known only in full by Allah.
He possessed:
Vast military power
A massive and disciplined army
Extensive material and administrative resources
Exceptional leadership and strategic capabilities
These qualities made him a remarkable and divinely aided ruler—but Allah reminds us that our knowledge is limited, and only He fully knows the extent of Dhul-Qarnayn’s might and mission.
This statement elevates Dhul-Qarnayn’s status while reaffirming the omniscience and sovereignty of Allah over all events and people.
