Who first discover America Dhu-Qarnyan or Christopher Columbus ? Dhu-Qarnyan was not the great Alexandre who was in Alexandria in Egypt as some people believe, but instead he was at the same time a king and a prophet in Yamen. It is said in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Kahf what means : " So he (Dhu-Qarnyan) followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of Hami'ah. And he found near it a people....Then he followed the way. Until, when he came to the rising place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We (Allah) had provided no shelter against the sun....”. We learn from the meaning of Surat Al-Kahf that Dhu-Qarnyan travelled to the west until he reached the shore of the Atlantic ocean, and then he continued his way by travelling across the Atlantic ocean until he came to Yamen by the east. Thus, the above mentioned setting and rising places of the Sun are relative to the people living in Yamen and around this area. Interestingly, it could be that Dhu-Qarnyan was the first man in history that travelled across the Atlantic ocean and he was also the first man who discovered America before it was rediscovered by Christipher Columbus. As a conclusion, it is strongly suggested to study this period of history to find out arguments confirming this scenario according to which America was first discovered by Dhu-Qarnyan not by Christopher Columbus as generally believed. But, Allah knows best.
