Why does the Quran say Alexander was a Muslim?

He was a pagan, even minted coins with Zeus and other gods on them
>But Dhu'l Qarnayn wasn't Alexander
The parallels between Dhu'l Qarnayn and Alexander legends are very clear, plus many classical commentators said it was him (such as in Tafsir al-Jalalayn)
>No, it was Cyrus
Very recent idea. But even then the Cyrus cylinder shows that Cyrus worshipped the Babylonian god Marduk

            Point is (1) Josephus is our only source he ever heard this (2) even Josephus doesn't mention Alexander converted and (3) all the evidence says he remained a pagan. After conquering Israel, Alexander moved on to Egypt, where he was proclaimed to be the son of Zeus-Ammon (the name Dhu'l Qarnayn probably comes from propaganda which depicted Alexander with the horns of Ammon). Pic related a coin minted in the final years of his reign, with one the one side Alexander dressed up as the hero Hercules and on the other side the god Zeus with his eagle. There are literally hundreds of these coins

Also the US is the only country in the world aside from New Zealand that allow the Pharmaceutical companies to advertise in public and on television. I bet you didn't know that either.

          No? Gog and Magog come from a prophetic dream in the book of Ezekiel, Magog is a particular country and Gog is its ruler whom will war and surround Israel but ultimately lose because of God.

          Even here we find no record of a great general fighting them and building a big brass wall to keep them at bay.

            So where are they now? Do we have any archaeological or historical record of warrior tribes being driven behind the mountains of the Caucasus? Where are their descendants? Did they leave some DNA footprint? Are there archaeological findings pointing out to their stay behind the Causasus? Are there records celebrating his victory of these tribes.

            Mind you, all of this is your own very tortured personal interpretation. Muslim scholars absolutely believed fo centuries that Alexander the Great was Dhu-l Qarnayn and it's only now in the modern age that they've backtracked like crazy because they know this issue debunks their entire religion. Also they did understand the text to mean that Qarnayn actually built walls to keep them out.

            Because they're scholars and their job is to speculate. Is every historical paper we read 100% accurate? Not really.
            As for evidence, you're missing the entire point of Surat al-Kahf, where this is from. It's about the faithful being tested in various ways. That we are tested first in terms of faith in defending our religion, by our wealth in maintaining our virtue, by our knowledge in receding from arrogance, and finally in our power by recognizing the source of all is Allah, سبحانه وتعالى.
            Archaeological evidence and this sort of thing has very little relevance to the lesson of the surah. Perhaps we will find some helment with two horns and we will gradually identify who this person is. You should know who is this person wearing a two-horned helmet. Figure out who it is rather than dismissing it offhandedly.

            And if Allah has any issue with that, then he's not nobody but himself to blame for not providing evidence of any kind.

            There is zero evidence for any other prophet either. Again, take the lesson rather than looking for historical figures you might never find.
            The lesson is that we should be humble in our power and remember that ما شاء الله, or that nothing happens except for the Will of Allah.
            In the verses preceding, there is also talk of a rich man and a poor man. Are you going to say that this story is fake because the rich man and the poor man haven't been identified and we don't have archaeological evidence for them? This would be a very strange thing to do.
            Again, you are still free to speculate on who this is. Who is some historical figure with two horns who drove some warring tribes beyond the mountains. As a Oyish afficianado, you should have some idea of who it might be referring to.

            This is not really relevant. The truth is Islam is valuable to me in itself. Even if every single prophet were completely fictional, I'd still follow Islam as it is by far the best way to align one's heart with God. I've tried out other religions, and have my own atheistic phase, but truly Islam properly followed makes our hearts shine with the light of God.

            They don't. They stand by the truthfulness of its supposed prophets. Just like Christianity doesn't stant by itself without the resurrection, if you disprove that, the whole thing falls apart immediately. Paul himself admits to this:

            1 Corinthians 15:12-19
            >Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

            If Muhammad was not visited by an angel, indeed if angels don't exist to begin with, or even Allah. Then nothing of what he says matters, whatever accomplishments he or his followers did are their own, not thanks to a God. And the Quran, no matter how beautiful you think it is, it's just a book, written fully by human beings.

            >Of course, I have zero evidence of anything contradicting Islam.
            Dhu-l Qarnayin
            >I've seen the worst atheists and the rest can throw at me. All of it has only strengthened my iman.

            You're picking at the letter of what I said rather than the spirit. What I mean is that Islam is so valuable in itself that evidence is not something I'd even look for. Of course, if something truly contradicted Islam, I'd leave Islam, but I'm yet to find such a thing.
            Dhul Qarnayn is not at all something that contradicts Islam. How does an unknown figure somehow contradict Islam? The identification with Alexander was mere speculation. There are many more speculations that scholars have made. This is only relevant as a person interested in history. As a Muslim, Dhul Qarnayn is simply Dhul Qarnayn.
            Who knows? Perhaps his name actually is Dhul Qarnayn (or the equivalent in his language) and we're making meaningless speculations here. Perhaps this is someone completely separate and trying to identify him with a historical figure is taking the wrong track altogether.
            Maybe Two Horns is exactly the name we're looking for. If you find anyone with such a name, be sure to inform us.

            You're contradicting yourself in real time now. You've just admitted that even if every prophet was fictional, something that would explicitly contradict Islam since it affirms the existence and truthfulness of these prophets, and it relies on their message being true, even if they were fictional that would still not make you leave Islam.

            So no, you're dishonest, even if something contradicted Islam, you wouldn't leave.

            It's sort of like this: if a device is working, do you look into how it's working? Not really unless you had special interest in engineering.
            Similarly, as a Muslim, I wouldn't look for evidence confirming Islam as there is nothing in Islam that would make me doubt it.
            Now, as someone interested in history, science, philosophy, I would gladly take whatever evidence is presented before me and see if it contradicts Islam.
            So, the two are separate. I'd accept Islam as a secular construct in addition to being a religious construct. In short, even if I were an atheist, I'd still prefer Islamic law to any other law.

            >Islam isn't based around worshipping prophets.
            I never said that it was? I said that Islam is based around its prophets being real and truthful. Which you're very openly admitting that it doesn't matter to you anyways.

            >So, the two are separate. I'd accept Islam as a secular construct in addition to being a religious construct. In short, even if I were an atheist, I'd still prefer Islamic law to any other law.
            Excellent, now we're getting to something worth discussing.
            Why then is Islamic law superior to all other law, if no country currently implements it completely and the ones who try to do so are absolute hellholes like Afghanistan or ISIS back when they still held land? Why are the most secular countries the most safe, prosperous and advanced if Islamic law is better? Why should, say, Norway, implement Islamic law? How would it benefit from it? How do you justify Islamic law from a secular perspective? What is so valuable about it that even as an atheist (that is, God does not exist in your view) you would prefer it over other laws?

            Depends on what you mean by Islamic laws. Not drinking, not taking drugs, not fornicating, not committing adultery - these are all things that would be beneficial to any country.
            Afghanistan has been at war for 40 years and ISIS are ISIS. Islamic law works out just fine in the Gulf. It would work out even better in Western countries, and solve most of the remaining problems that the West currently has.

            I think you mean the assloads of oil that were found in the region. Prior to that nobody have a shit about the Arab peninsula, Mecca and Medina were the only sites of any importance (and the coast,) for religious reason, before that the Ottoman Empire and Persia were the big power in the region and they were both making progress towards secularisation, the Ottman Empire even legalized gay marriage in the 19th century. Clearly not a fully fledged Islamic empire.

            Sure, if you think the West doesn't have an issue with drugs or adultery that's needs addressing, then I have no issue. There are many issues within the Ummah that I'd rather focus on before lecturing you on how to run your country.

            The unacceptability of atheism comes from the old generation of Muslim parents not really understanding why their children become atheists. The truth is that most of us aren't born Muslim - most of us are born liberal and raised with liberal values and only convert into Islam at an older age. At some point, the more studious among us see a contradiction between liberal values and Islam and have to make a choice.
            So, an atheist is simply someone who is consistent with the liberal values he grew up with. A religious person is someone who goes against these liberal values. It's natural to be an atheist. It's very unnatural to be a Muslim. Thus, it's the parents job to convince his child. If he fails to do so, then he cannot judge the child for following exactly the values most of the world follows, and that he'd be raised to follow as well.

            Depends on your definition of "family" and "crime", which I think you know us filthy Westerners would not agree with.

            You suffer from the exact same problems, not a single one (no, not even fertility rates, yours are also dropping) is exclusive to the West. And infidelity is just a general problem of the human condition, not something that only happens in the west.

            Being born Muslim means being born with an innate understanding of the oneness of God. We are all raised liberal. Most Islamic countries follow liberal laws and liberal constitutions, which inherently go against most Islamic values. Even Iran's odd situation comes from having Islamism merged with popular democracy.
            I personally think the biggest political problem facing us is that we still haven't figured out what a centralized Islamic state actually looks like. Islamic states in the past were extremely decentralized, with the judges coming from the local community and the law being applied locally according to local circumstances and culture. However, this fell apart once European states started centralizing and fielding much larger armies fed by a much more organized workforce. They did this at the cost of Christianity, but it still worked in a material sense. For us, it's been a constant push-pull. The secular states get pushed towards Islamism, and the Islamic states get pulled towards secularism. In both cases, neither party knows what they are even arguing for.
            As for Islamic values, I don't think you'll agree with anything I say until I fix the issues within the Ummah itself. Only if the Ummah sets a better example does lecturing other even become a thing. Most of the preaching that goes on in the West falls flat for this reason. They also oddly focus excessively on law and politics rather than philosophy and mysticism, which turns people off further. I can see you've been the victim of such evangelizing as well. Islam will fix everything, etc. It might, but they have to first provide proof, which they don't bother doing.

            Just because Islam gets these things right doesn't mean it's true. If you really care about religions, which include what they say about eternal salvation or damnation, the most important thing is whether or not they are true.
            Mormons are wellknown for their abstaining from intoxicants and their family values, but I would still argue that Joseph Smith did not in fact translate a record of israelites living in pre-Columbian America by looking into a hat.

            Also, it's not just proscriptions. I'm also talking about prescriptions. Going to the mosque every day keeps me in touch with the community. Fasting keeps me fit and conscious of my diet and also encourages exercise. Charity is more or less self-explanatory. There are also fairly ordinary practices that are enhanced in Islam - I have to visit family, visit friends, stay away from vulgar media, keep physically fit, focus on family and children, and many other such things. That's more what I was talking about than simply law.

            Curious, plenty of people around me do those exact same things without the need of any religion telling them to do so.

            Anon it seems to me like you're simply a person with a lot of personal problems and Islam was just your way to put your life in order, which is fine. But most of us are not you, nor do we need to subscribe to the religion that you subscribe to, and we would most definitely not appreciate implementing a religious law that controls our lives for us.

            I did these things as well. What I said is Islam ensures that I don't lapse from doing these things. Practicing Muslims can't lapse from these duties. Many atheists unfortunately do.
            Islam is not really controlling. Some states misuse Islamic law to crackdown on dissidents, but this is not encouraged within Islam itself. That's more about using Islamic law selectively.
            Surveillance is forbidden and any evidence gathered using surveillance is not admissible in Islamic courts.
            So, you'll see many states use the argument against rebelling to punish dissidents, but you'll never hear the same people say spying is haram.

            Nothing. My main issue was with violence. I was very pacifist in my youth. I was vegan. I tried out Jainism (and no, I'm not Indian), and so didn't even eat root vegetables. I was even considering becoming a Jain monk and eventually approaching sallekhana.
            However, my pacifism came from a desire to protect others, and this eventually made me realize that peace cannot be achieved with some degree of violence, so I gradually accepted that justice requires violence, and true pacifism is not possible and is even harmful.
            Other than this, it was merely one ridiculous argument after another. Even a simple google search is enough to refute most arguments. I'm over that sort of thing now. My main goal now is to keep going deeper into Islamic philosophy and its conjunction with the modern physical sciences.

            Islam isn't based around worshipping prophets. If all of them were removed (same goes for all abrahamic religions) it wouldn't make a frick of difference since the religion is based around a connection to god and the holy text are stories and philosophies to grow that connection.

            Also, it's not as if we have extensive archaeological evidence of other Qur'anic prophets either. Who do we really have physical evidence for in the first place? If you want to dismiss him to be a myth, you're just going down the route of dismissing Jesus, Moses, Abraham, (as) and the rest of the prophets as well.

            it was channeled to Mohamed just like the teachings were channeled to Moses and Jesus and mediums and psychics today, the problem is people are told to take these teaches and make books and then people take that and twist it and contort it and misinterpret it, take it out of context, add things and take away things that they like and don't like. So it's about 15% genuine just like christianity. The rest is stuff we humans inserted into it to fulfill their own personal agendas. The point is, you aren't supposed to worship gods and they weren't meant to be religions, just learn the teachings and use them to make you better, but your lost if you go around thinking that we get 72 versions when we die or judged or go to hell or that you're any different than someone that believes something completely different

            Worshipping is something we do for ourselves. It obviously doesn't benefit God in any way. It merely acts as a reminder of our teachings. The same way if you listen to a song over and over again, you begin to internalize the lessons contained within that song.

    Same reason modern Christians claim that Plato was really a Christian. People like to claim possession of great men, great warriors, or great thinkers. I imagine Alexander was specifically chosen for his conquest of the Persian Empire likening him to defeating one of the great empires lording over the pre-Caliphate Arabs, and being Greek suggesting that Greeks should naturally be Muslims.
