Product description

The story of zul-qarnayn is a bridge story: connecting the old and the new, the world of knowledge in medina with the 21st century.

Between the centuries, between history and the soul. . . From alexander the great of macedon to the persian ruler cyrus, and from the legendary tubba rulers of yemen to mythological, universally revered conquerors. . . The question of who zul-qarnayn was, as mentioned in the surah al-kahf of the quran, has been a topic of discussion for centuries, not only among commentators but also among historians, archaeologists, and researchers of comparative religious history. However, while researching this topic, either established opinions were repeated or speculative interpretations were put forward. Over the past two centuries, advances in fields such as archaeology, history, social sciences, the history of religions, and linguistics have opened up new avenues for us to better understand the historical context of the quran. In this work, bülent şahin erdeğer explores one of these questions: he seeks to answer the question, “who was zul-karnain?” by using academic, historical, and archaeological evidence. • who was zulqarnain, the “just king with two horns” as described in the quran? • do the findings point to this ruler, who is believed to be alexander the great? • is the “two-horned” symbol a representation of power, or is it a metaphor for justice? • what does the quran tell us about how to correctly understand archaeological accounts? • do historical attempts at adaptation serve the universal message of revelation, or do they narrow its scope? • is the concept of the circumstances of revelation, i.e., the information about the reason for the revelation, an essential framework for interpretation? Your work seeks to answer one of the oldest and most debated questions in the islamic tradition of knowledge. He explores the historical identity of zul-qarnin by delving into various disciplines. Erdeğer’s research journey, which began with the study of the tradition of interpretation, continues through the examination of old testament texts, persian history, achaemenid archaeology, and the history of ancient near eastern art. While trying to understand who zul-qarnayn was, we also see a connection, a dialogue, and even a “mythical purification” that stretches from the old testament to the quran. This remarkable and ambitious work will take history readers on a captivating journey from east to west, from the past to the present.
