Dhu al Qarnayn visited the Polar Regions?
The story of Dhu al Qarnayn is briefly mentioned in Chapter 18 of the Qur’an, verses 83 – 98. The Qur’an mentions his name/title, and without going into the details of his person or his people, informs us that he was established in power and had the means to all ends, and thus was able to travel everywhere on Earth. The verses about Dhu al Qarnayn’s travels have been variously interpreted, yet continue to perplex many Muslims. These verses have also been used by non-Muslims to point out factual inaccuracies in the Qur’an. Based upon what we know of the polar regions of the Earth, I think that the first two travels were to the North and South Pole respectively. I’ve also attempted to understand the third travel. My reasoning is as follows: https://signsandscience.blogspot.com/2014/06/dhu-al-qarnayn-polar-regions-of-earth.html > On 11-Jul-2022, at 2:17 AM, John Clark <johnkcl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> On Sun, Jul 10, 2022 at 12:30 PM spudboy100 via Everything List >> <everything-list@googlegroups.com> wrote: >> >> > I don't see refutation of by scriptures, > > I don't see why anybody should care what the scriptures have to say about > transhumanism given that they were written by members of a bronze age tribe > who didn't even know where the sun went at night; transhumanism is about the > physical world, how on Earth could anybody expect wisdom about that from > them? > > John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis > uzp > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
