Me too
Dhul Qarnayn was actually Prophet Sulaiman alaihi salam.
Here are the dalil/proofs from the Quran itself.
1️. Kingship
Only two Prophets were mentioned as King in the Quran. Prophet Daud and Prophet Sulaiman Pbut.
Dhul Qarnayn was a king.
Qs 18:84.
Surely We established him in the land and granted him means of access to everything.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh was also a King.
Qs 27: 16.
And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
Qs.38:35.
He said, “My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingdom never to be attained by anyone after me. You are the Giver.”.
Qs.38:39.
“This is Our gift; so give generously, or withhold; without account.”.
2. Both were blessed with many great things to help them accomplish their tasks that was to spread the word of god. Missionary and travelled far and wide.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:85.
So he followed a way, 89. Then he followed a way. 91.And so it was. We had full knowledge of what he had. 92.Then he followed a way.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh -
Qs 21:81.
And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violently, pursuing its course by his command to the lands which We had blessed, and We are knower of all things.
Qs.34:12.And for Sulaiman the wind-its outward journey was one month, and its return journey was one month.
3. Prophethood.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:86, 87 & 88.
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Dhul-Qarnayn! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit. He said: As to him who is unjust, we will chastise him, then shall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him with an exemplary chastisement: And as for him who believes and does good, he shall have goodly reward, and We will speak to him an easy word of Our command. He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment. But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
This verse has the same meaning as in surah Yunus in which Allah Subhanallah ta’ala mentioned as;
Qs.10:47.
Every community has a messenger. When their messenger has come, judgment will be passed between them with fairness, and they will not be wronged.
When messengers reached a community, they preached Allah’s word and established law and order. Shariah law.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh -
Qs 21:78 & 79.
And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment. So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.
4. Both were able to understand many languages. Polyglot or multi linguistics is an asset for travellers.
Dhul Qarnayn Qs.18:93. Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a word.
*Qs.14:4. And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh - Qs 27:16
And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
5. Metallurgy
They were both given the technology to manipulate both iron and copper!
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:96
Bring me blocks of iron; until when he had filled up the space between the two mountain sides, he said: Blow, until when he had made it (as) fire, he said: Bring me molten copper which I may pour over it.
Prophet Sulaiman pbuh -
Qs 34:10, 11 & 12.
And certainly We gave to Dawood (Sulaiman’s father) excellence from Us: O mountains! sing praises with him, and the birds; and We made the iron pliant to him, Saying: Make ample (coats of mail), and assign a time to the making of coats of mail and do good; surely I am Seeing what you do. And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month's journey in the morning and a month's journey in the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoever turned aside from Our command from among them, We made him taste of the punishment of burning.
6. And both refused to accept gifts.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs.18:95,
They said: O Dhul Qarnayn! surely Gog and Magog make mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should raise a barrier between us and them
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh - Qs.27:36, So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present.
Allah knows best.
And May Allah guide us to his straight path.
The SOFIA THE JERUSALEM AHOLIBAH Babylon the Great the Zul QARNAIN..
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: When a bondsman-a Muslim or a believer-washes his face (in course of ablution), every sin he contemplated with his eyes, will be washed away from his face along with water, or with the last drop of water; when he washes his hands, every sin they wrought will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water; and when he washes his feet, every sin towards which his feet have walked will be washed away with the water or with the last drop of water with the result that he comes out pure from all sins.

MasaAllah very nice speech my AllAh bless you
Mashallah ❤❤❤❤❤
Qarn also means an era or time and that's how it's been used in the Quran. Zhulqarnain in this context means 2 eras. The one of 2 times.
It has 3 meaning..
- 2 eras(200+ years of lives)
- 2 horns(maybe comes from his helm)
- east and west(his kingdom reach east to west
But Allah knows best
if means to era so did he live to eras? or what eras was it meant
@@alihemed4484 1 era = 100years
2 eras = 200years of lives
Its just aproximately
@@thelastwan3146 perhaps he was a man tht was born with actual horns cause thts a real thing
Jazak Allahu Khairan

The figure of Dhulqarnain in the Old Testament.
In the Arabic translation of the Old Testament, the word "Dhul Qarnayn" (Hebrew: Ba`al Haqqərānayim בעל הקרנים) appears once in the book of Daniel 8:20:
أَمَّا الْكَبْشُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ مُلُوكُ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ
Translation: The ram you see, which has 2 horns, is the king of the media and persia.
which has 2 horns (hebrew) : Ba`al Haqqərānayim
Which has 2 horns (arabic) : Dhulqarnayn
Dhulqarnayn is Cyrus The Great the King of Medo Persia.
Ezra 1:2
"Cyrus king of Persia said, 'All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the LORD God of heaven. He has commissioned me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
Daniel 8:4
And I saw the ram going to the WEST, and to the NORTH, and to the SOUTH: and no beast could stand against him, neither could any deliver out of his power: he did as he pleased, and magnified himself.
Al kahf 18:83-102
And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
So he followed a way
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
Then he followed a way
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
Then he followed a way
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
[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."
And We will leave them(gog magog, jews, and disbeliever) that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
And We will present Hell that Day to the Disbelievers, on display -
Those whose eyes had been within a cover from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
Daniel 8:4 is connected with Al kahf 18:83-102
West: Cyrus Reign over Lydia (King of West) and come to Black Sea when sun setting and he see the sun going low and gone under Black Sea.
"So he followed a way
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
North: Cyrus encounter Gog Magog (King of North) in Caucasus Georgia
"Then he followed a way
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
[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."
South: Cyrus go to Indus India Pakistan Rajasthan
The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, in Darius time he open the land of indus.
"Then he followed a way
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge."

@Raha Aja, did you know about the reason surah Al kahf was revealed? Have you any clue about the story of Prophet Sulaiman a.s and the Queen of Saba?
What so surprising about a prophet with two names (attributes)? The name Sulaiman means (man of peace) he is also known as Yedidyah, Kohelet, and several other names in the bible.

3) Participate in building a masjid.
4) Place a watercooler in a public space.
5) Plant a tree. You gain whenever a person or an animal sits in it's shade or eats from it.

Alexander (The great) was Illyrian a Pagan. I don't believe he has anything to do with Zul Qarnayn.
i agree. i think he was khoroush kabir. cyrus the great. he wad monotheistic
@@yia22sacramento Cyrus did have horns on his helmet but he prayed to fire
@@salad3955 zoroastrians dont pray to fire. they believe praying elements of nature like fire is intercession to God. granted that sounds shirk. but that doesn't mean they don't believe in one God.
At 4:30 it sounds like iceland....cause that's the oy place furthest west with lava hot springs. If he saw the sun set it would be there

Darius is better candidate
According to scholars DU EL QUARNAIN in the Quoran probably mean the man of 2 "Eras/epoques/centuries", and not 2 "horns".
Very nice explanation ❤
The first thing to know about him is his name is Dhul-Qarnain - there is no "Z' in his name, just as there is no "Z' in Salaatul Dhur or "Ramadhan"", despite the popular Indian subcontinent mispronounciation of that letter! But I do thank you for correcting the Yusuf Ali popularized misconception that Alexander the Great was Dhul-Qarnain! The rest of the video was on point!

I came here having thinking he was going to say it is Alexander the great and I was going to leave if he did. But alhamdulilah he did not.

Sahih al-Bukhari 6405
some shaytan say that about 200 times a day
Fun fact: Ancient cave drawings of Dhul Carnayn has been drawn all over the world, from Siberia to Africa
Fact: Not every Two Horned is Dhul Qarnain mentioned in Al-Qur'an. We don't even know for sure why was he called Dhul Qarnain by Allah Subhan Wa Ta'ala
@@uaa4739 , the answer to who Dhul Qarnayn was is in the Quran.
Read the proofs (dalil) below.
Qs.18:54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.

Similarities between Dhul Qarnayn and Prophet Sulaiman alaihi salam.
Here is the list of similarities between the two characters.
1️. Kingship
Only two Prophets were mentioned as King in the Quran. Prophet Daud and Prophet Sulaiman Pbut.
Dhul Qarnayn was a king.
Qs 18:84.
Surely We established him in the land and granted him means of access to everything.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh was also a King.
Qs 27: 16.
And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
Qs.38:35.
He said, “My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingdom never to be attained by anyone after me. You are the Giver.”.
Qs.38:39.
“This is Our gift; so give generously, or withhold; without account.”.
2. Both were blessed with many great things to help them accomplish their tasks that was to spread the word of god. Missionary and travelled far and wide.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:85.
So he followed a way, 89. Then he followed a way. 91.And so it was. We had full knowledge of what he had. 92.Then he followed a way.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh -
Qs 21:81.
And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violently, pursuing its course by his command to the lands which We had blessed, and We are knower of all things.
Qs.34:12.And for Sulaiman the wind-its outward journey was one month, and its return journey was one month.
3. Prophethood.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:86, 87 & 88.
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Dhul-Qarnayn! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit. He said: As to him who is unjust, we will chastise him, then shall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him with an exemplary chastisement: And as for him who believes and does good, he shall have goodly reward, and We will speak to him an easy word of Our command. He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment. But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
This verse has the same meaning as in surah Yunus in which Allah Subhanallah ta’ala mentioned as;
Qs.10:47.
Every community has a messenger. When their messenger has come, judgment will be passed between them with fairness, and they will not be wronged.
When messengers reached a community, they preached Allah’s word and established law and order. Shariah law.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh -
Qs 21:78 & 79.
And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment. So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.
4. Both were able to understand many languages. Polyglot or multi linguistics is an asset for travellers.
Dhul Qarnayn Qs.18:93. Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a word.
*Qs.14:4. And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh - Qs 27:16
And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
5. Metallurgy
They were both given the technology to manipulate both iron and copper!
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs 18:96
Bring me blocks of iron; until when he had filled up the space between the two mountain sides, he said: Blow, until when he had made it (as) fire, he said: Bring me molten copper which I may pour over it.
Prophet Sulaiman pbuh -
Qs 34:10, 11 & 12.
And certainly We gave to Dawood (Sulaiman’s father) excellence from Us: O mountains! sing praises with him, and the birds; and We made the iron pliant to him, Saying: Make ample (coats of mail), and assign a time to the making of coats of mail and do good; surely I am Seeing what you do. And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month's journey in the morning and a month's journey in the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoever turned aside from Our command from among them, We made him taste of the punishment of burning.
6. And both refused to accept gifts.
Dhul Qarnayn -
Qs.18:95,
They said: O Dhul Qarnayn! surely Gog and Magog make mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should raise a barrier between us and them
Prophet Sulaiman Pbuh - Qs.27:36, So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present.
Allah knows best.
And May Allah guide us to his straight path.
@@Malx_IX Dhul Qurnain was Cyrus the Great.
The Jews at the behest of some of the idol worshippers wanted to test the Prophet's claim of Godly knowledge so they asked him about the One of Two Horns because he was also in their books the Torah, and the Prophet didn't know about who he was.
This was the context where the story of Dhul Qarnain was revealed to him.
So Allah revealed to the Prophet about him.
@@cheddmt8365, Dhul Qarnayn mean The leader of two nations. The nations of Mankind and Jinn kind. And if you read the verses in the Quran that mentioned Dhul Qarnayn, Allah mentioned that he traveled east , west and took another route. Meaning he conquered the old world. Quran never mentioned that he controlled the east and west. Quran mentioned that;
Qs.18:84. Surely We established him in the land and granted him means of access to every thing.
@@Malx_IX You do realize the verse that talked about Dhul Qurnain started with "... And they ask thee about Dhul Qurnain"?
The people asked the Prophet (saw) about him. He was distinctly different from Prophet Solomon.
The Jews wanted to flex their knowledge that only them know about Dhul Khurnain and the Prophet (saw) didn't have access to Jewish books to possibly know about him.
So Allah revealed the story of Dhul Qarnain to Rasul to silence them and the story was similar to what you have in the Torah books.
Horns mean nations. Dhul Khurnain ruled over Persia and Media concurrently. He is the RAM with 2 Horns mentioned by Daniel in the Torah.
The Jews revered him, because he saved them from their enemies when they were being persecuted. That was specifically why they wanted the Prophet to talk about him if truly he receives knowledge from God.

Thank you， I enjoy this video very much， and may I ask about the cover picture of this video？ It looks like a person who is sitting near a river? Where does it come from, I mean, is it a book illustration?
Thanks for the great video. Small response on how to improve: To use English words that other people can easily understand. Eg. Ilham... Overall great video and content!
he was Cyprus the Great, Persian king. And the iron wall was built in the caucas mountains...u can find it on Maps, for it's called Yakjuj and Makjuj ....near Uzbekistan and Georgia.
Though the argument that Dhul-Qarnain was CYRUS the Great (not Cyprus as you typed) is outlined very well on the link below, your statement, nevertheless, should end with the words "And Allah knows best!" www.islamquest.ir/en/archive/question/fa5555
Cyprus the Great ahahaha you 🤣 absolute clown. Joking..you meant Cyrus aka Koroush I know
Tbh tho, how does someone from the past mine so much iron and copper to make such wall? Im pretty he's from the future or something
@@wawan8759 Apparently, you have not read the ayat (verse) of the Qur'an that, as Allah said: "And We brought forth iron wherein is mighty power (in matters of war), as well as many benefits for mankind … ]" - Surat Al-Hadid (Iron) 57:25.
Or heard the hadith that the Prophet Myhammad, peace be upon him, said:
“Allah has sent down from the Heavens to the Earth four blessed things: IRON, FIRE, WATER and SALT.”
(
Imam ad-Daylamy in “ al-Firdaws ” , Imam as-Siuti in “ Jam’al-Jawami ” , Ibn Kathir in “ al-Kafi ash-Shafi fi Takhrij Ahadith al-Kash-shaf’ Imam al-Agluni in “ Kashf al-Khafa ” and Imam al-Qurtubi in his “ Tafsir ”).
It is Allah who commanded his Prophets to build the first house (the Ka'ba), the first ship (Noah, with the ark), etc., so it should be no surprise that Allah created a circumstance to establish iron or other elements for use by man on this Earth.
@@ujimajame4601 i understand but three second hadith is about how earth is made, it doesn't say how Dzul Karnain got the iron.
He was a monotheistic, ie he was a Muslim, probably few thousand years before Alexander the Macedonian,
I think he from Yemen
Yes, you are right,he did kiss the black stone too,a real Muslim indeed.
3 ways to express Shukr (Gratitude):
The classical Muslim scholars have indicated Shukr(Gratitude) can be shown in three ways:
1- Shukr of the heart (Qalb), which is achieved by harboring and intending good for all of Allah's creation.
2- Shukr of the tongue (Lisan), which involves celebrating the praises of Allah, such as utterance of Alhamdulillah, and expressing gratefulness to Allah with our tongue.
3- Shukr of the limbs (Jawarih), which is fulfilled by using our external senses to do good. Every time Allah gives us a blessing, we must use it in a way that benefits humanity and that pleases Allah.
Power and knowledge, both comes to prophet. Some may get power but not without knowledge.

He was the king of persian land. Great Cyrus
Was you there? Sometimes people come to that conclusion...better to say Allah knows better. The part you forget, do people mention yuj wa majuj? Such a troublesome tribe, but no one mentions them? One would think these kings would narrate such a story. And we wouldn't know the story of it wasn't in Al Quran.
@@_truthful_q_ but he has to be someone. He is described as this great king who conquered land in all directions, was a monotheistic, righteous person and Cyrus kinda fits it all. We can narrow it down to kings for better understanding of the texts. In the end, Allah knows best.
@@_truthful_q_ for your kind information if you search the lord mayor show in london they call gog magog are the defenders of london . Gog magog is yajuj majoj in quran and zulqarnan blocks these yajoj majoj coming to the east from the Caucasus mountains .These gog magog lives near volga river heads towards caspian sea. The fort he built for the people is in derbent so they can protect themselves. Zulqarnan was the king of persia. Roman philosopher xenopenon wrote a book on his life the book name is cyropedia and it tells about the king of persia cyrus.He also believe in god.persian civilisation started when he made 2 cities 1 kingdom. The city name were media and parsa
@@brightstar7936 this is a serious misconception about the wall in Derbent. The wall is not in Derbent as they have been able to date the age of the wall and it is a recent construction. The Derbent wall is simply not old enough and unfortunately many muslims still believe this is THE wall mentioned in Al Quran. Only Allah knows best but Derbent is not the location. Only Allah knows the real location. I have spent years trying to research this as I'm curious, and I couldn't come up with anything other than King Cryus "might" have been the king mentioned as he was a righteous king and his helmet did have 2 horns. I also spent a long time researching Derbent (and other locations) and the conclusion was unequivocal. It's not Derbent as carbon dating proves it wasn't built during King Cyrus' time and is much more recent than we realized. And no one but Allah knows the location. Imho it is further east towards China, but Allah only knows the truth so I let it go. The point is to remember the message Allah was trying to convey in this story/lesson. Something I had to tell myself as I was obsessed with this research.
@@brightstar7936 The portrayal of Cyrus the Great in Pasargadae (tomb of Cyrus) depicted him with two horns.
Is dhul-qarnain the same the great king Cyrus?
سليمان النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام هو ذو القرنين انظر نعت الله لسليمان وذو القرنين لهما نفس النعت والتسمية.
Allah knows, but brother these kind of things are not really relevant. It's about how his personality was and his story and from this we learn how to be righteous people.
I believe so.
Darius is better candidate
My dear brother !!! Stay there just hold on -time of Imam Mahdhi is coming , all this struggle will be gone ...
What do you mean??
Mashallah brother
Please it’s not zul qarnayn but
thul qarnyan
Cyrus the great you mean? 🤫
Aristote is not a pagan at all he said that God is one, chek he's books, Metaphysics chapter 12 and also in Physics at the end of the book. So we have as muslim to be carefuul before puts others in hell ...
Salamaleikoum
Yes he speaks of the Final Cause which is used by Ibnu Sina and Ibnu Rusyd to derive elegant falsafah which aligned to Quranic tafakur.
How are u sure that aristote is a muslim
@@mandhemjallow1333
I have studied philosophy and Aristote, I can't be sure at 100% that he is a muslim, but what I have seen in his book make me think that he is a "hannif" at less. His master was Plato who believed in the here after, the judgement day ( you can chek the myth of ER in the last chapter of "the Republic", he believed that every body has a demon inside like said the prophet in a hadith (i think demon an jinn means the same here) and a lot of other thing I give you a last argument Plato call god "the one", so we are not sure but we know that Allah send prophets every where so there were muslim in Greece too so why not.
But one thing is sure a 100% there were not polytheist like was a lot of greeks at this period.
Question : Does Zulqarnain had the power like mentioned was given the paths . Does these paths refer to the paths to heavens ? ( sky ) like another galaxies or planets ?
Dr Ali Mansour kyali had explained this clearly If you ask dr Ali Mansour kyali i hope you will know who was Dhul Qarnayn JzkAllah
Zul Qarnsyn was the great Persian King the Great Koroosh.
:-)
true
Darius the great is better candidate
It was possibly Oghuz Khan, he had 2 horns on his head, the stories about him shows similarities.
It very well could be, but could you tell me how large his empire was? And anyway Allahu Alam(Allah knows best).
Oghuz Khan is still debated on if he was real or not. Also there are so many ways to blatantly point out that it is impossible for him to be Dhul qarnayn.
Cyrus the Great....
@@user-fz5wn4jy4i yes, I believe it was Cyrus the great aswell.
I have to congratulate you on being so imaginative in filling in all these details in a story which happened nowhere, at no time, with characters that never existed. Doesn't this beautifully illustrate the nature of the Quran? - it is just a story. If you want to understand God's workings in the world, you need to read the Bible.
Good comment, but meaningless. If you find meaning in the Bible, jog on, go read v that. Ill let you in on a little secret, you have no idea, this world is not like what you think. Don’t believe me? Turn to your creator and ask Him.
@@_truthful_q_ You can chose to read the gospels, about a real man who lived in time in a real place and taught the truth. Or you can read silly myths like this one about Dhul Qarnayn. How does reading this story bring you closer to God?
@H H Where is this iron and copper wall?
@H H I asked you where the iron and copper wall is. You cannot tell me. There is no evidence for Dhul Qarnayn. You cannot tell me what century he lived in, what country he came from, what language he spoke. Nothing. But the story is based in part on the Romance of Alexander. The Quran also has corrupted histories of Biblical characters. For example the story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba in Surah 27. The Quran is a book containing fictitious history. It is not a word from God.
@H H How can I lie by asking a question? I asked where this wall of iron and copper is. Let me change my other statements into questions. In which century did Dhul Qarnayn live? What language did he speak? What country did he come from?
Actually based on what historians know now, they say that Darius was a usurper. After Cyrus died his empire was inherited by his son Cambyses and Cambyses had also another brother called Bardiya. Some modern historians suspect that Cambyses was assassinated, either by Darius as the first step to usurping the empire for himself. Bardiya also didn’t succeed the throne but rather Darius took over. Darius ascended the throne by overthrowing the Achaemenid monarch Bardiya, whom he claimed was in fact an imposter named Gaumata. Gautama was a Magi or Zoroastrian priest.
This perhaps explain why historians speculated on the religion of Cyrus because there was no mention of Cyrus in the Zoroastrian literature. The first mention of an Achaemenid king was Darius. This is the current view of some modern historian on what happened.
Cyrus already been mention by the book of daniel or isaiah
Isaiah 45:1-3
“This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him
and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
I will go before you and will level the mountains, I will break down gates of BRONZE/COPPER and cut through bars of IRON.
I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
Daniel 8:4
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
Daniel 8:20
The ram which you saw, having the two horns-they are the kings of Media and Persia.
The figure of Dhulqarnain in the Old Testament.
In the Arabic translation of the Old Testament, the word "Dhul Qarnayn" (Hebrew: Ba`al Haqqərānayim בעל הקרנים) appears once in the book of Daniel 8:20:
أَمَّا الْكَبْشُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ مُلُوكُ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ
Translation: The ram you see, which has 2 horns, is the king of the media and persia.
In arabic its already clear that the ram that has 2 horns which by mean is Dhulqarnayn.. Is Cyrus The Great..
Darius only complete Cyrus mission
He might be Cyrus the Great
His empire was 20th greatest empire in history of mankind and was the greatest until then
Cyrus was a zoroastrian
Zoroaster pbuh was one of the God's prophets and his followers only believed in almighty God
He lived in 6th century BC and Iron age started in around 1200 BC
So they knew how to use Iron
According to history he was a righteous king
According to Wikipedia:
"Cyrus the Great respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered."
And
"Cyrus the Great is also well recognized for his achievements in human rights, politics, and military strategy, as well as his influence on both Eastern and Western civilizations."
And
"Under his rule, the empire embraced all the previous civilized states of the ancient near East expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Western Asia and much of Central Asia. From the Mediterranean sea and Hellespont in the west to the Indus river in the east, Cyrus the Great created the largest empire the world had yet seen."
Funny you guys are funny, connecting dhul qarnayn to cyrus who was a disbeliever و بأي حجة ظاهرة
@@ai6749 No one exactly knows what was his religion
We don't exactly know if he was a disbeliever or if he believed in God
But most common though is that he was a zoroastrian
And Zoroaster pbuh was a prophet
If he was a zoroastrian then there is a very high chance that he is zul qarnain

@@ai6749 Salam alaikum
I'm from Iran
And there are lots of zoroastrians in our country
Some people say zoroastrians worship fire
That is a misconception
They worship Ahura Mazda
According to zoroastrians
Ahura Mazda created everything
He created good and bad
He is alone
He is almighty
He is the creator of everything
Simply He is Almighty God (Allah)
I think Zoroastrians pray 2 times a day
And their priests pray 5 times a day
Zoroaster pbuh had a book
But It disappeared over time and later a new book was written from what left in people's minds and zoroastrians call it the holy book and it isn't preserved like holy Quran and it has lots if errors
Also there are hadiths about it
Once mushriks asked prophet Muhammad pbuh why doesn't he let them worship their gods
He said I only let people of book to do that
They said but you let zoroastrians to worship their god
He said zoroaster was a prophet and he had a book
They killed him and burned his book
(I translated this hadith form persian and because I don't know how to translate some words I summarized it)
Zoroastrians Don't worship fire but they think it's a precious gift from Allah
And they consider it holy (this could've been the result of their new holy book's errors just like Christians think Jesus is God's son)
Darius is better candidate

The imams refused to give up their pet ideologies from leaning of their party sunna or Shia ! They train themselves just to argue points to insult each to not allow each ummi to not follow the others school of taught ! Yet beloved Muslims the light of holy Quran will open in time ars! Time is the key 🔑 es’kati’lam
You are a fool
The manner upon which you content is wrong! This is why the Islamic community is weak . This pbuh prophet Muhammad foretold , 71-72 fractional groups split from its root ! The holy Quran: of this topic on dhul’quranain has yet to be placed in proper tense when it comes to mordern world course of history! Instead you call me a fool ? Who teaches the truth and not opinions? Cause that video Is far from it !
First the name is qarnian , from where outside of your yahudi translations can you explain this epic persona , to fit now ? Es’kati’lam
@@zodincards fool
It is on you to think so ! And to have Dr. as your title ashamed you should be of your self! To hold a attribution is to accept universal theology! Which of course I term mathematical theology! And what a laugh you give us !
Zaa’waw- dyan,is a Quranic arabinya term from the kitab ! Oh your Quran studies never revealed this to you ? Ha! Es’kati’lam
Allah must have warned me of you , how ? Look I told you ahead your insult that all you do is try and insult those of whom you argue against!
Allah and Y.H.V.H. Is my witness! Ek’Ahua !
One of the signs of Dhul-Nurain is the rising of the sun in the west. In fact, we call the west of Iran Khorasan (the land where the sun rises), and in Persepolis there are statues of lions with wings and goat horns or the image of Cyrus on coins with horn helmet.Also, Cyrus was the unifier of nations and his land extended from east to west. Also, he wrote the first inscription of human rights, and he is well remembered in Judaism and Christianity.Therefore, Cyrus was not a Zoroastria.Worshiping fire in Zoroastrianism means worshiping God. Fire for Zoroastrians is like the Kaaba for Muslims.
He was worshiping God ahura mazada (Allah)
Fire is a magi believe..
He believe Ahura Mazda
May read ancient history of the world. Persian King Darius seems had the characteristics. But I believe in current World Dzulkurnain relates to global scale and Dzulkurnain represent the person called Imam Mahadi to be appeared in the end time soon.
King Cyrus The Great not Darius.
Agree with Cyrus.
Zul Qarnain = Cyrus the Great
Accept perhaps it doesn't. There's nothing wrong in not knowing something
Allah knows best!
Darius is better candidate
Is Zul-Qarnain, Cyrus-The Great ?
King Cyrus
No hes not
Yes Cyrus The Great.
Yes, Cyrus or Koresh king of Persia. He regarded as (the only non Jew) Messiah by The Jews.....
Nope, this is incorrect
Ameen
Dzulqarnain was Cyrus the Great. Dzulqarnain means two horns which are the two empires of Media and Lydia that Cyrus conquered and united them to form the Archaemenid empire. The travels of Cyrus also coincides with that of Dzulqarnain in the Quran. First, he conquered Lydia in the west and bordering the dark waters of the Black Sea, then he went to the Gedrosian desert where the people there lived a primitive nomadic lifestyle under the hot and extreme Gedrosian desert.

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوْمًا قُلْنَا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِمَّا أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّا أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ حُسْنًا
Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit.

Until when he reached the land of the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people to whom We had given no shelter from It;

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا
Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a word.
Many believe that the wall mentioned in the Quran is the the Gates of Elan built at the Darial Gorge which is at the foot of Mount Kazbek and Mount Shani along the river Terek at the border of Georgia and Russia.
Cyrus was also revered by the Jews and he was prophesied to come by the prophet Jeremiah and Isaiah 200 years before he was born. During his reign as the king of the Archaemenid empire he conquered Babylon and released the many Jews who were exiled there after Nebuchednezar destroyed the first temple. He also funded the building of the second temple of Jerusalem after he conquered Babylon. Such was the honour bestowed on him that he is called the messiah in the Old Testament, the only gentile to have this honour.
Further testament to Cyrus being Dzulqarnain of the Quran is the fact that Dzulqarnain ( ذا القرنين ) is mentioned by name in the Arabic bible that is in the book of Daniel chapter 8:20 which reads
20 اما الكبش الذي رأيته ذا القرنين فهو ملوك مادي وفارس.
The ram which you saw, having the two horns-they are the kings of Media and Persia.
This is the only time that Dzulqarnain is mentioned in the bible in the same manner as the Quran and it clearly refers to Cyrus the great. The historicity or sirah of the story of Dzulqarnain also points towards Cyrus the Great as the questions posed to Prophet Muhammad by the Arab Jews of Medinah through the Mecca Quraish clearly relates to someone that they, the Arab Jews knew from their scripture as Dzulqarnain would be only seen in their Arabic bible and not even in the Hebrew bible.
Another interesting fact about Cyrus is the fact that he lived at the same time as prophet Danial and it would not be unfathomable to theorise that Cyrus was being advised by prophet Danial and also follows his teachings in terms of religious belief. Hence Cyrus maybe worshiping the One true God Allah as alluded in the Quran.
For these reasons, I believe makes Cyrus the Great the most likely candidate for Dzulqarnain in the Quran
Darius the great more likely better candidate since he was great architect
Actually based on what historians know now, they say that Darius was a usurper. After Cyrus died his empire was inherited by his son Cambyses and Cambyses had also another brother called Bardiya. Some modern historians suspect that Cambyses was assassinated, either by Darius as the first step to usurping the empire for himself. Bardiya also didn’t succeed the throne but rather Darius took over. Darius ascended the throne by overthrowing the Achaemenid monarch Bardiya, whom he claimed was in fact an imposter named Gaumata. Gautama was a Magi or Zoroastrian priest.
This perhaps explain why historians speculated on the religion of Cyrus because there was no mention of Cyrus in the Zoroastrian literature. The first mention of an Achaemenid king was Darius. This is the current view of modern historian on what happened.
