Who was Zul karnain? and Who's ummat was he in?
Answer
Zul Karnain was a king who travelled extensively around the world and he put up the wall to prevent the dangerous people- Yajuj and Majuj , from crossing as they used to abuse the people. (Surah Kahf) We are not aware of the time and era of Zul Karnain.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best
