وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ ذِي الْقَرْنَيْنِ ۖ قُلْ سَأَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا (83)

And they ask you about Zul-Qarnayn. Say: I will recite to you about him information.

Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it (as if) setting in a muddy spring and found near it (the spring) a people. We (Allah) said: O Zul-Qarnayn! Either you torture (them) or else take among them goodness.
[Al Quran ; 18:86]

قَالَ أَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَابًا نُكْرًا (87)

They said: O Zul-Qarnayn! Indeed, Yagog and Magog are mischief makers in the land. So may we make for you an exit that you might make between us and them a dam?
[Al Quran ; 18:94]

---

قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيْرٌ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا (95)

He (Zul-Qarnaan) said: What my Lord has established me over is better, so help me with strength, (and) I will make between you and them a bank.
[Al Quran ; 18:95]

---

آتُونِي زُبَرَ الْحَدِيدِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَعَلَهُ نَارًا قَالَ آتُونِي أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا (96)

Bring me blocks of iron; until, when he had levelled between the two hills, he said: Blow, until when he had made it (like) fire, he said: Bring me, that I may pour over it molten brass.
[Al Quran ; 18:96]

فَمَا اسْطَاعُوا أَنْ يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا لَهُ نَقْبًا (97)

So they (Yagog and Magog) were not able to pass it, nor could they make in it a hole.
[Al Quran ; 18:97]

He (Zul-Qarnayn) said: This is a mercy from my Lord; and when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it levelled. And ever is the promise of my Lord true.

وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعْضٍ ۖ وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَاهُمْ جَمْعًا (99)

And We will leave some of them on that day surge against others; and the trumpet will be blown, so We will gather them in gathering.

Dhul Qarnain starts his second leg of journey.

Dhul Qarnain the great ruler of the east and the west started his second leg of journey.Again he continued to follow the sun.His first experience of chasing the sun was a complete "Success".He has accomplished great achievements with the help of this "Rule".

"FOLLOW THE SUN".

So he accepted the challenge of the mighty Atlantic Ocean and started to follow the sun again.

Now his destination was "East", the rising place of the sun. 
Previously he has successfully crossed the line of 
Prime Meridian 
(Where East ended and West started)
and now he was ready to cross 
International Date Line.
(Where West ends and East starts)

He continued his journey in the direction of the sun.The days were long and the sun was very helpful in navigation.He has already done his "home work".Al-Khidar (The Green Man and the servant of Allah who possessed all the qualities of a great "Mariner" and leader) was his minister(Consultant).

He successfully reached the western end of the Atlantic Ocean and got ready to enter in to the pacific Ocean via 
PANAMA isthmus. 
The golden rule 
"Follow the sun"
has helped him a lot.
With each passed day he came close to the place of "Rising the sun".

Now east the rising place of the sun and the junction of the West and the East(WHERE WEST ENDS AND EAST STARTS)was not far away from him.Now his second destination was to the west of Panama,in the east and in eastern hemisphere.

One day in the morning the situation was a little bit different.He has crossed the Panama Isthmus successfully.Before his eyes the sun was ascending in the sky from  the west of the Pacific.it ascended further  and ultimately set in the Atlantic.

Dhul Qarnain the mighty king has successfully chased the sun.
He has solved the years old mystery.
How the sun rises in the East?
From where the sun rises in the East?
He has viewed the sun rising in the East.
Previously he has viewed the sun setting in the west.

He kept on moving further.
But now NOT in the direction of the sun.
Now he was moving against the direction of the sun.
He kept on moving till he reached at the point where West ended and east started.He in other words has reached the  

"PLACE OF THE RISING SUN". 
Now he has traveled a lot.
from 
He first traveled from EAST to WEST.
Then he traveled from WEST to East.
First of all he crossed Prime Meridian and witnessed the sun setting in the west.
Then he crossed the 
International Date Line 
and saw the sun rising in the East and soon he then visited the place of the rising sun.
He now was near TARAWA ( KIRIBATI).
This is the place of the rising sun.
Here the sun rises on the
people for whom 
Allah,The Lord Of All The Worlds
 have provided no shelter therefrom.
Here there is 
no mountain,
no hill and 
no natural shelter
from the "SUNNY SUN".

 Possible route of Dhul Qarnain

In this post we will keep our attention focused on the possible route of Dhul Qarnain  from Egypt to Kiribati Islands thousands of years ago,via a place from where he viewed the Sun setting in the west.(Where first leg of his journey ended)Remember the country of commencement of travel is Yemen and country of destination is (TARAWA)Kiribati Islands (Where the second leg of his journey ended).

Move with the sun (in the direction of the sun) and NOT against the sun.

This is the basic idea of our possible route. Thousands of years ago Dhul Qarnain started moving towards  the West with the movement/direction of the sun.Thus his back was towards the east and he in the beginning  was moving away and away from east but more close  and close to the west.

He was  narrowing the gap between him and the place where the sun was setting in.Thus he was moving towards the place where the sun was setting in.Hence there is every possibility that during the journey soon he will arrive at the place from where he viewed the setting in of the sun.

• Advantages of moving in the direction of the sun.
  The days will be "Long" and nights will be "short". When the duration of the day will increase you can make best use of day light.
• The sun over or around your head will motivate you.It will keep you enthusiastic and ambitious.
• Your movement in the direction of the sun will help you a lot in navigation. 
• If you keep on moving in the direction of the west,soon you will be at the farthest point from the east.Here at this point /line you will infect  exit Eastern Hemisphere (East).Now you will be at the point where west starts. 

Now what our route is?

From Egypt to Kiribati Islands (Tarawa) he traveled partially by sea and partially by land.However his long journey was mainly by sea.Hence we will discus the same.
From Egypt to Kiribati Islands (Tarawa) he voyaged in the direction of the west along the coastal line of modern Egypt,Libya,Algeria,and Morocco.When he arrived at "ORAN" (City of Algeria)he was about to exit Eastern Hemisphere.When he crossed the Strait of Gibraltar he was absolutely out of the eastern hemisphere.Now he was in the west.To be more precise he was at the junction of the east and the west.he was at the point/line where east has ended and west has started.

This event (The crossing of Strait of Gibraltar) is very important).Now he was at the junction of two continents.The Europe and the Africa.He was at the union of two "diverse sets of civilizations".
Here some where around the strait of Gibraltar thousands of miles away in the west he viewed the sun setting in.

In this post we will keep our attention focused on the possible route of Dhul Qarnain  from Egypt to Kiribati Islands,via a place where the Sun was drowning/setting in.(Where first leg of his journey ended)Remember the country of commencement of travel is Egypt and and country of destination is Kiribati Islands (Where the second leg of his journey ended).

Our task

Find out different possible routes from Egypt to Kiribati Islands via a place where the Sun was setting in.You may design any route no matter if it is long or short.The route may be by air,partially by land and partially by sea or entirely by sea  and entirely by land.

The popular and more acceptable route these days.

The believers of this idea are of the view that his first leg of

journey ended in Maldives.Maldives is the setting place of the sun where he found people.......From Maldives he moved ahead and then reached Kiribati Islands.(The rising place of the Sun).Here in Kiribati Islands he found the Sun rising on the people for whom We (Allah)had appointed no shelter there from.

Do you think this is acceptable?

Right now we are in the beta phase. 

• Dhul Qarnain was the ruler of the West as well.He ruled The West with the same authority as that of the East.He was the ruler of the East and the West.

Does this theory tells us that he traveled in the West and established his authority?

• Maldives is in the South East.If from Egypt you travel in this direction you are becoming closer and closer to the East.Thus you will see East first.If i am not in the wrong you will see the "Sun rising in the East".

Do you agree with this idea that if you travel towards (Maldives) south East you will meet East west?

• If your movement is in the direction of Maldives you will move "Against the Sun"you will not get enough time for work.You will have to spend a lot of time in the darkness.

Do you think if you move "Against" the Sun the duration of the day will "decrease" and the duration of the nite will "Increase?"

Let me ask you the same question in a different way. 

Do you think the nights will be long and the days will be short?

Now what is my theory?

My idea is very simple.

From Egypt he moved "With the Sun and NOT against the Sun."

Before i elaborate my view point any further let me draw your attention to wards a poetry.Ancient poetry.I by chance found this while surfing.You will be surprised how this supports my idea (which apparently looks difficult to understand)

Ibn Ishaq has recorded many per-islamic Arabic poems in the "SIRA" .One of his poem is about Dhul Qarnain.

• Ibn Ishaq believed that this poem was composed by a pre_Islamic king of ancient Yemen and his name was  Tubba'.
  Now please enjoy this little poem and see how it "supported" my idea "long long ago".
  
  
  Dhu’l-Qarnayn before me was a Muslim
  Conquered kings thronged his court,
  " East and West" he ruled", yet he sought
  Knowledge true from a learned sage.
  He saw where the Sun sinks from the view
  In a pool of mud and fetid slime
  Before him Bilqis [Queen of Sheba] my father's sister
  Ruled them until the hoopoe came to her.

  Here is one more by Hassan ibn Thabit 

  Thanks wikipedia

                                                    
  

  Ours the realm of Dhu 'l-Qarnayn the glorious

  Realm like his was never won by mortal king.

  "Followed "he the Sun" to view its setting

  When it sank into the somber ocean-spring;

  Up he clomb to see it rise at morning,

  From within its Mansions when the East it fired;

  All day long the "horizons" led him "onward",

  All night through he watched the stars and never tired.

  Then of iron and of liquid metal

  He prepared a rampart not to be o'erpassed,

  Gog and Magog there he threw in prison

  Till on Judgement Day they shall awake at last

  Did you notice?
  

  "Followed he the sun to view it's setting"

  He chased,followed and tracked the sun to see where it "Goes",what it does and how and where it disappears (Sets in).
  "Follow the Sun" is the key to success.
  And
  

  "All day long the horizons led him onward"

    Once he reached at the point from where he viewed the Sun setting in he then moved "forward" not back ward.
  But at this point he had few more tasks to complete.
  

  Now the question is where is such a point/place?

  Before i answer this let us now focus our attention to the task which was assigned earlier.

   Our task was to:
   Find out different possible routes from Egypt to Kiribati Islands via a place where the Sun was setting in.You may design any route no matter if it is long or short.The route may be by air,partially by land and partially by sea or entirely by sea  and entirely by land.

  

  These days we can travel either by : 
  • Air
  • land
  • Sea

  • Or we can make use of all the three stated modes of travel. i.e Air land and sea.
  •  
  Let us first see how we can reach Kiribati Islands by air  via a point where Dhul Qarnain viewed (would have viewed ) the sun setting in the west.
  
  Now let us keep map of the world before us.we can reach Kiribati Islands from two and opposite directions.
  

  1.With the sun   If we move in this direction our faces will be in the direction of the west.Our journey will be west wards.If we keep on traveling

  (flying) we will be closer and closer to the west and more and more away from the east.we will reach west first and thus there is every possibility that we will reach at the place where Dhul Qarnain viewed sun setting in the west.

                                                                   2.Against the sun.   Our faces will be towards the
