===Massive wall of iron===
{{Main|Dhul-Qarnayn and the Alexander Romance}}
The Qur'an presents a version of the Syrian legend of Alexander the Great as a great king who helps a tribe of people build a massive wall of iron between two mountains. The Quran then states, along with the hadith, that this wall and the tribes it traps will remain in place until the Day of Judgement.  Modern satellites and near comprehensive exploration of the Earth's surface, however, have yet to reveal any trace of such a massive structure.
{{Quote|{{Quran-range|18|96|97}}|
"Bring me blocks of iron." At length, when he had '''filled up the space between the two steep mountain-sides''', He said, "Blow (with your bellows)" Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: "Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead." Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it.

===Hordes trapped by iron wall===
===Hordes (Gog and Magog) trapped by an iron wall until judgement day===

The Quran states that two massive tribes of beasts (Gog and Magog) were and will continue until the Day of Judgement to be trapped behind a massive wall of Iron erected by Dhul-Qarnayn. According to the Qur'an, these two tribes were trapped by Dhul-Qarnayn behind this metal wall and will only be let free on the day of Judgement. However, no such wall or tribes have ever been found despite the advent of global satellite imagery.

{{Quote|{{Quran|21|96}}|
{{Quote|{{Quran|18|96-101}}|Bring me pieces of iron!’ When he had levelled up between the flanks, he said, ‘Blow!’ When he had turned it into fire, he said, ‘Bring me molten copper to pour over it.’
Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly swarm from every hill. }}
So they could neither scale it, nor could they make a hole in it. He said, ‘This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord is fulfilled, He will level it; and my Lord’s promise is true.’
That day We shall let them surge over one another, the Trumpet will be blown, and We shall gather them all, and on that day We shall bring hell into view visibly for the faithless.
Those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance and who could not hear.}}
 
The trumpet blowing in {{Quran|18|99}} is referred to many other times in the Qur'an as happening on judgement day such as {{Quran|27|87}}, {{Quran|69|13}} and {{Quran|39|68}}.{{Quote|{{Quran|21|95-97}}|But there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they shall not return,
Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly swarm from every hill.  
Then will the true promise draw nigh (of fulfilment): then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"}}{{Quran|21|95}} stating (and also translated as) ''<nowiki/>'there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: that they shall not return,'<nowiki/>''  refers to the many populations in the Qur'an which ignore their messenger so are swiftly killed by God. For example this happens to the people of Ad ({{Quran|46|22-26}}), Sodom and Gomorrah {{Quran|11|82}} and Thamud {{Quran|29|37}}. The dead can only return on judgement day, as can those disbelievers become shocked at the events.
