Only the greatest man with greatest religion. He pray to one God. The Islam God.
There are many verse in Al-Quran telling about his achievement and victory of defeating the infidel and help the poor.

All of you confuse. Islam begin from adam and eve.
What? From Muhammad s.w.t? What a joke.

Okay people, I think you are missing the point of what he is trying to say....Alexander the Great pray to the same God as the Muslims.
Further more, just because Ìslam`wasn`t given to the world by your standards...I hate to tell you but it`s the religion and way of life of Adam, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, John the Baptist and ALL other Prophets (Peace be upon them all).
Islam means.....Surrender to the will of God (Willingly).
Therefore, all the Prophets were Muslims...ALLAHU AKBAR!
Peace

Let's see to be a Muslim you must believe that God is one and Muhammad is his prophet. Since Alexander the Great died 900 years before Muhammad, then that means he couldn't be a true Muslim.
If you're saying that Alexander the Great did not believe in the Greek gods and instead worship the one God, then do you have any supporting evidence for this? If history makes no mention of this, then I would suspect that the Quran is wrong!!!
And if Alexander was considered righteous for worshiping the one God, then Jews are also considered righteous, and Christians too... There is no need to submit to Muhammad.

Do you really believe that? Where in the Quran is Alexander mentioned and how could he have a religion that came long after his death? Is he Referred to as "Zul Karnien?" Since there is no mention of Alexander by name as the Great or even Alexander 3rd. I happen not to believe he prayed for Islam's God. Although if you believe in God you have to accept that there is only one God and that even if I do not believe in God, I am still his creation and thus is no less (or more) human than you or the person next door.

This was used by Muslims to claim the lands of the roman empire, this is very clear when we see how the Muslims claiming roman Palestine to be an Islamic state even though Palestine was before Islam and also Jews worship one God. Other reason for this is to claim the lands of the Persian empire which once was under the control of the roman empire( during the invasion of Alexander) but later return to them after the fall of the East Roman Empire ( Christian), so with the help of Christian and Jews Muhammad invented the Al-Quran and he started to spread it in Arabia and Yamama and praising the kings of Israel and the king of the Roman and preparing the Muslim armies to invade atheist Persian empire to claim their land based on this as he predicted in Al-quran the victory of Roman over the Persian after the previous defeat to be victory for the Muslims, in the same time the Persian king sent his men in Arabia to Mecca ( Mecca was open to all at that time while now only Muslims can go) to promote the kings of Persia and spread their teachings. The Muslim succeeded and spread the Koran in atheist Persia (Persian Gulf , Iran and south Russia) which now it is considered Muslim countries but also the Persian later succeeded in spreading some of their secular teaching and philosophy in the Middle East and in Europe during the Arabic Islamic state in Spain through many Persian scholars.

Alexander the Great? That's impossible, Islam wasn't founded until somewhere in the 500s (or was it 400s?) and Alexander was from... not Greece, but that area north of it, prior to the Roman empire, if I recall. Masedonia?

Did you know that the Quran also say that Alexander the Great followed the Sun until he saw it set in a mudy pool?
But this shows your ignorance my good friend. Everyone knows that Alexander thought of himself as a God and built many pagan shrines to honor and worship himself.
Does it feel good to know that your "god" Allah got history so wrong?
Do your research. The Quran alone is not good enough.

It is mere speculation that it was alexander the great. Others believe it to be other people such as cyrus the great.
Dhul Qarnain..(the two horned one) is all we know about him everything else is speculation.
FYI when he says muslim he doesn't mean following Muhammad.. Islam considers all prophet to be muslims. so one can be muslim prior to the advent of islam.
Muslim is one who submits to the will of god.

There you go - an admission that Allah is a pagan god!
FYI - Alexander prayed to many gods - none of them named YHWH or Allah. He was identified by his followers with the sun god Ammon, among others.
The only thing Alexander had in common with Muslims was the urge to conquer the world.
