He's described as one who goes to the very far west, western end of the world, to the very far eastern end of the world.
And he goes and finds people who need his help to protect themselves against these savagely people, also known as Gog and Magog.
So he helps them and builds a wall for them.
You find an identical story to what you find in the Quran about this figure named Dulqarnain.
You find it already in these folk stories, these folk myths about Alexander the Great.
These are not real stories of Alexander the Great.
These are stories that people just came up with in order to depict him as something fantastic.
The Quran, whoever its author is, probably Muhammad, heard this story from other people and he inserted this into the Quran as if it was a revelation from Allah about an actual figure named Dhul Qarnayn, the two-horned one, who was guided by Allah.
This is a fantasy story, a fan fiction story about Alexander the Great.
It has no business being in the Quran as a true story about some guy who is
guided by Allah, by God.
And we also know that Alexander the Great was by no means a devout monotheistic person.
He was a polytheistic pagan guy who declared himself to be God.
So the Quran clearly takes random stories from people through hearsay.
Muhammad himself takes stories.
And then we are also told at the end to believe that this book is actually authored by the all-knowing
Almighty Allah, God himself, and every single word of it is completely true.
It is not from Allah.
It is a book that is made up of stories that people told, made up of a very ignorant understanding of what the universe looks like.
And it literally does say that the sun actually at night goes and sets into a muddy spring and then comes out again at some point once it gets permission from Allah to rise again.
