Out of eagerness to know the reason of casting molten copper on blocks of iron, the story of Zulkarnain, is the real reason behind my choice of this topic. There is also strong correlation between the Qur'anic descriptive forms and the two sciences mathematics and geometry. There is no doubt that the story of Zulkarnain and Gog and Magog and the building of the landfill occupied the work of many Hadith interpreters and biography writers. I read literature about this Qur'anic story from an architectural perspective, regarding the landfill plates and the reason why molten copper was casted upon iron to form the so-called periodical plates. The Holy Quran uses accurate scientific language and precise linguistic expressions. I hope that my research is of good use to all and my apologies for any omissions therein. However, what comforts me most is that I exerted all my efforts to reach a high degree of perfection, knowing that perfection is only for Almighty alone and I always seek his help for success.
