Alexander the Great in Arabic
Ο Μεγαλέξανδρος [Dhu'l Karnên] στα Αραβικά
Alexander the Great in the Holy Koran
Ο Μεγαλέξανδρος στο Ιερό Κοράνι
Σύμφωνα με την μετάφραση, η οποία έγινε με την φροντίδα της κας Μαριάννας Ι. Λάτση (Ιδρυμα Λάτση), το Ιερό Κοράνι αναφέρει για τον Μεγαλέξανδρο τα εξής:
[82] Kαι τιμή από τον κύριό σου, όλα αυτά δέν τα έκανα από δική μου θέληση. Αυτή είναι η εξήγηση για αυτά τα πράγματα που ήσουν ανίκανος να κρατήσεις υπομονή.
[83] Θα σ' ερωτήσουν αναφορικά με τον Ζούλ Καρνέιν (τον Δίκερο Βασιλιά, δηλαδή αυτόν που χρησιμοποιεί και τα δύο ημισφαίρια του εγκεφάλου του). Να πείς "Θα σας απαγγείλω κάτι από την ιστορία του".
[84] Είχαμε στήσει την δύναμή του πάνω στην γή και του δώσαμε τόν τρόπο και τα μέσα για κάθε σκοπό
[85] Κάποιο τέτοιο δρόμο ακολούθησε.
[86] Μέχρις ότου, όταν έφτασε εκεί όπου δύει ο ήλιος, τον βρήκε να βασιλεύει σε μιά πηγή από πυρωμένο νερό! Δίπλα της βρήκε ένα λαό, και τότε είπαμε: Ω! Ζούλ Καρνέιν! Έχεις την εξουσία ή να τους τιμωρήσεις ή να τους μεταχειριστείς με καλοσύνη".
[87] Είπε "Όποιος αδικεί, αυτόν θα τιμωρήσω, κι' έπειτα θα επιστρέψει στον Κύριό του, κι' Εκείνος θα τον τιμωρήσει με ανήκουστη τιμωρία.
[88] Όποιος, όμως, πιστεύει και κάνει έργα αγαθά, θα έχει μιά εξαιρετική αμοιβή, και εύκολο θα είναι το έργο του καθώς διατάζουμε να το εκτελέσει.
[89] Έπειτα εκολούθησε κάποιον άλλο δρόμο,
[90] μέχρις ότου, όταν ήρθε εκεί όπου ανατέλλει ο ήλιος, τον βρήκε ν' ανατέλλει πάνω σ' ένα λαό που δέν του είχαμε προμηθεύσει καμία προφύλαξη εναντίον του ηλίου.
Καθώς θα τελειώνει ο χρόνος, το φράγμα που έστησε ο Μεγαλέξανδρος θα διαρραγεί σύμφωνα με τη θεία βούληση και οι δυνάμεις του χάους θα ξεχυθούν στον κόσμο.
Τότε θα ηχήσει η σάλπιγγα, το θέλημα του Θεού θα επιβληθεί οριστικά και «άπιστοι» θα ριχτούν στη γέενα, τόπο φωτιάς.
Έτσι η Ιστορία θα τελειώσει...
Και συνεχίζει... σε άλλο σημείο στο Ιερό Κοράνι (ΧVΙΙΙ, 82-110) περιέχεται λυρική εξιστόρηση του έργου του Μεγαλέξανδρου με τα εξής λόγια:
Ο Θεός στερέωσε τη δύναμή του [Μεγαλέξανδρου] επί της γης και του επέτρεψε να πραγματοποιήσει ό,τι επιθυμούσε.
Ο βασιλιάς [ο Μεγαλέξανδρος], από την πλευρά του, έφτασε στα πέρατα της γης.
Πήγε μάλιστα και στο σημείο από όπου ξεχύνονται στον κόσμο οι Γωγ και Μαγώγ άκουσε τις παρακλήσεις του λαού που ζούσε εκεί και έχτισε, με «πέτρες σιδερένιες» και λιωμένο χαλκό, φράγμα για να προστατεύσει την οικουμένη από αυτούς.
Και συνεχίζει... Το ιερό βιβλίο των Μουσουλμάνων είναι κατηγορηματικό σχετικώς:
Πράγματι, ο Μακεδών εμφανίζεται να λέει: «Είμαι άνθρωπος σαν εσάς, αλλά μου αποκαλύφθηκε ότι δεν υπάρχει παρά ένας Θεός.
Οποιοσδήποτε (λοιπόν) ελπίζει πως θα εμφανιστεί μια μέρα μπροστά στον Κύριο να κάνει το καλό και να μην εμπλέκει κανένα δημιούργημα στη λατρεία του Κυρίου».

The conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great's armies left the Persian army in complete disarray. Alexander captured Babylon, Susa and then Persepolis. The splendour of Persepolis was short lived, as the palaces were looted and burned by Alexander in just one night.
The Greeks were then in possession of the ancient world from Egypt to Indus, and from Oxus to the Danube. Alexander followed a policy of integration between the Greeks and the Persian communities, encouraging marriages and applying the formula of magnanimity and generosity, which had formerly brought success to Cyrus II.
In 324 B.C., having travelled down the Indus as far as its delta, he returned to Babylon where he fell ill and died in 323 B.C., at the age of 32, without having nominated an heir to his empire.
Those who succeeded him, were the so-called Diadochi, who fought among themselves and after the battle of Ipsus (301 B.C.), Alexander's Empire was finally divided into three main segments. The Ptolemaic Dynasty ruling Egypt, the Macedonian monarchy ruling Europe and Seleucus I ruling the east including; Mesopotamia, Iran, Syria and Bactria.
(The Hellenistic period in Iran began in 331 B.C. and continued until c. 250 B.C. This was the time when the Greeks tried to impose their culture on Asia. During approximately a century and a half of Greek rule in Iran, very little construction took place, and ruins from this period remain few and far between.)

Different opinions [sic]
Surah 18:89-98 : Alexander the Great, a Muslim? - According to the Quran (Surah 18:89-98) Alexander the Great was a devout Muslim and lived to a ripe old age.
Al-Kahf 18:89-98 : Al-Kahf 18:89-98. Muslims believed that this passage speaks of Alexander the Great, that he was a devout Muslim and that he lived to a ripe old age. Historical records, however, show that he died young at age 33 (356 B.C. - 323 B.C.)
Note: Holy Qur'an has no mistake on anything...
