What exactly did Zulqarnain encounter on his mysterious 2nd journey mentioned in Surah Kahf?
Quran tells us that a King known as Zulqarnain travelled until he reached the “Rising place of the Sun”, where he found people for whom Allah had provided no shelter from it.
But where is that strange place? Was it somewhere on our Earth — and if so, can we identify it?
In this video, we investigate Zulqarnain’s second journey in an extraordinary detail. We will trace his route step by step, examine the major geographical theories and explore the locations on Earth that have been porposed as the mysterious “Rising place of the Sun.”
But geography — is only a part of the puzzle.
We will also examine the classical Tafsir literature and figure out the problems we face if we try to fit this journey onto the known locations on Earth.
Who were the people Zulqarnain encountered? Why did they have no protection from Sun? What do the descriptions of their land, behviour, habits and living conditions tell us about their location?
We will follow the clues one by one: the Quranic text, classical Tafsirs, sahih Hadiths, geography and historical records from around the world to find out that — could this remarkable journey may have taken place on Earth ?
Or does the clues point towards a far more mysterious place?
Join me as I trace Zulqarnain’s second journey — step by step, clue by clue and explore one of the most fascinating journeys ever done.
