Quote:
{18:98} [Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
Excellent translation, but I'd like to translate
دكاء more closely than "level." I suggest a simple interjection,

{18:99} And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
Excellent translation!
