Answer 1

Alexander the Great was the Macedonian conqueror who brought Greek culture throughout the world at large. He is accredited with conquering the Persians and creating the world's greatest empire, the Macedonian Empire. He ushered in the Hellenistic era, the spread and diffusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures to all parts of the Mediterranean and even as far as India, though he turned back at the Khyber Pass. Alexander's father was Phillip II, who conquered Greece. Alexander came to rule when his mother, a disgruntled wife of Phillip, placed him on ther throne with her own scheme and cunning, even though Alexander was not the true heir. Alexander used his military brilliance and his popularity with the army to campaign against the Persians, and eventually toppled them. His empire was massive, and he ruled approximately in the third century B.C.E.

Answer 3

Quran never claimed that Dhul_Qarnayn is Alexander. If what you said about Alexander believing to be a God is true, then he is not a prophet of God for sure. What I know about Dhul -Qarnayn is that his part of the story is teaching (Moses), if I am not mistaken, some ways of life, or how to deal with certain situations.

Alexander the Great (Greek: Μέγας Aλέξανδρος,[1] Megas Alexandros; July 20, 356 BC–June 10, 323 BC), also known as Alexander III, king of Macedon (336–323 BC), was one of the most successful Ancient Greek military commanders in history. The name 'Alexander' derives from the Greek words "alexo" (αλέξω, refuge, defense, protection) and "aner" (ανήρ, man). Before his death, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks. Alexander is also known in the Zoroastrian Middle Persian work Arda Wiraz Nāmag as "the accursed Alexander" due to his conquest of the Persian Empire and the destruction of its capital Persepolis. He is known as Eskandar-e Maqduni (Alexander of Macedonia) in Persian, Al-Iskander Al-Makadoni (Alexander of Macedonia) in Arabic, Alexander Mokdon in Hebrew, and Tre-Qarnayia in Aramaic (the two-horned one, apparently due to an image on coins minted during his rule that seemingly depicted him with the two ram's horns of the Egyptian god Ammon), al-Iskandar al-Akbar الاسكندر الاكبر (Alexander the Great) in Arabic, Sikandar-e-azam (سکندر اعظم) in Urdu, Skandar in Pashto. Sikandar, his name in Urdu and Hindi, is also a term used as a synonym for "expert" or "extremely skilled".

Following the unification of the multiple city-states of ancient Greece under the rule of his father, Philip II of Macedon (a labour Alexander had to repeat twice because the southern Greeks rebelled after Philip's death), Alexander conquered the Persian Empire, including Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Judea, Gaza, Egypt, Bactria and Mesopotamia and extended the boundaries of his own empire as far as the Punjab. Before his death, Alexander had already made plans to also turn west and conquer Europe. He also wanted to continue his march eastwards in order to find the end of the world, since his boyhood tutor Aristotle told him tales about where the land ends and the Great Outer Sea begins. Alexander integrated foreigners into his army, leading some scholars to credit him with a "policy of fusion." He encouraged marriage between his army and foreigners, and practiced it himself. After twelve years of constant military campaigning, Alexander died, possibly of malaria, West Nile virus, typhoid, viral encephalitis or the consequences of heavy drinking.[2][3]

His conquests ushered in centuries of Greek settlement and cultural influence over distant areas, a period known as the Hellenistic Age, a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern culture. Alexander himself lived on in the history and myth of both Greek and non-Greek cultures. After his death (and even during his life) his exploits inspired a literary tradition in which he appears as a legendary hero in the tradition of Achilles
