Скачать или смотреть Who Was Dhul Qarnayn? | Quran 18:83 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally explores the identity of Dhul Qarnayn, a figure mentioned in the Quran 18:83. While some classical commentators linked him to Alexander the Great due to similarities in pre-Islamic stories, especially Syriac Christian ones, others, like Abul A'la Maududi, argued that the Quranic Dhul Qarnayn better aligns with the biblical figure Cyrus the Great, who was known for his piety. Dr. Shabir explains that the Quran does not aim to confirm historical identity but rather to draw moral and theological lessons from the narrative. The Quranic account strips away mythical elements and reorients the story to emphasize divine purpose and ethical guidance. Instead of being concerned with literal historical accuracy, the Quran offers a reframed version that uplifts and inspires its audience, presenting Dhul Qarnayn as a model of pious leadership and moral responsibility.
