Most Powerful Rulers in History

Post by Navy9 »

In your opinion, who are the most powerful rulers in history?

If I were to pick two, I would say
1) Prophet Solomon
2) Dhul Qarnain

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَن ذِى ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ‌ۖ قُلۡ سَأَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡهُ ذِڪۡرًا (٨٣) إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُ ۥ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ سَبَبً۬ا (٨٤) فَأَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا (٨٥) حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغۡرِبَ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغۡرُبُ فِى عَيۡنٍ حَمِئَةٍ۬ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوۡمً۬ا‌ۗ قُلۡنَا يَـٰذَا ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ إِمَّآ أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّآ أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيہِمۡ حُسۡنً۬ا (٨٦) قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوۡفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ۥ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ۥ عَذَابً۬ا نُّكۡرً۬ا (٨٧) وَأَمَّا مَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا فَلَهُ ۥ جَزَآءً ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ ۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِنَا يُسۡرً۬ا

 Translation:

And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say, "I shall now recite to you some narration about him." [18:83]

Surely, We gave him power on Earth and provided for him a way to everything. [18:84]

So he followed a way, [18:85]

until when he reached where the sun sets, he found it setting into a miry spring and found near it a people. We said, "0 Dhul-Qarnain, either you punish or take to something good for them!' [18:86]

He said, "As for the one who transgresses, we shall punish him, thereafter he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him - an evil punishment. [18:87]

As for the one who believes and acts righteously, he will have the best in reward, and we shall deliver to him of our command that which is easy." [18:88]

Nimrod! Prophet Ibrahim's time!!!

Yes, I do like history. My mother made me love it, when I was a kid, she used to tell me about stories in history as a bedtime story. :) But at the same time, I do know when I am reading them that most of them are fabricated, nonetheless, I can't get rid of this passion.
