God’s servant who walked with Moses,Zhu Al-Qarnayn,Gog and Magog(Debunking more claims justifying hadith:)
.
The following Quranic persons have been subject for claims to justify the hadith:


1- God speaks of Zhu Al-Qarnayn (18:83)? The literal translation is “the one with 2 horns”. In the Quran we learn that he was a great ruler who built the wall which kept Gog and Magog from attacking the people whom he met on his journey to the east.

Do we know for sure who this person was? We do not know for sure, there have been a number of interpretations.

Some interpreted Zhu Al-Qarnayn to be Alexander the Great and some have understood him to be Cyrus the Great while some others understood him to be the Byzantine emperor Heraclius who was thought of by his contemporaries as a “second Alexander”.

But this is not all, the word ‘Qarnayn’ literally means two Qarn, yet when we look at the use of the word ‘Qarn’ we find that it was never used in the Quran to mean “horn” but was used to mean a century, a long period of time, an age or generation.

Thus the title of "Zhu Al-Qarnayn" could mean the "two-horned one", or "the one who impacts upon two ages or generations".

Do we need the exact details of the man who is given this name in the Quran to practice Islam? The answer is no.


2- We also read about God’s servant who walked with Moses? Although the Quran details many of his words with Moses yet his name is not given. It is the message contained in this story that serves the message of the book and not the specific name of the servant. Do we need to know his name to attain the message of this Quranic incident? The answer is no.

Do we need this info to practice Islam? The answer is no.


3- God tells us about Gog and Magog in the Quran. Do we know exactly who they are? Are they persons? Tribes? Nations?

The answer is: We do not know for sure nor do we need to know to practice Islam.

The day Gog and Magog rise again, the people living then will know about them.

Do we need this info to practice Islam? The answer is no.

Note-36:66

৩৬:৬৬ وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ আৰু আমি ইচ্ছা কৰিলে অৱশ্যে সিহঁতৰ চকুবোৰক লোপ কৰি দিলোহেঁতেন*, তেতিয়া সিহঁতে পথ অন্বেষণত দৌৰিলেও (কোনো কামত নাহিব) কাৰণ কেনেকৈনো দেখা পাব!** .. 36:66 NOW HAD IT BEEN Our will [that men should not be able to discern between right and wrong], We could surely have deprived them of their sight,* so that they would stray forever from the [right] way: for how could they have had insight [into what is true]?(as)** Note* Lit., "We could surely have effaced their eyes": a metaphor for "We could have created them morally blind" and, thus, devoid of all sense of moral responsibility - which, in its turn, would constitute a negation of all spiritual value in human life as such. (Cf. 2:20 - "if God so willed, He could indeed take away their hearing and their sight".) (Google translate no guarantee: লিট., "আমি নিশ্চয় তেওঁলোকৰ চকু মচি পেলাব পাৰিলোহেঁতেন": "...

Masjid al Haram: Understand what does it mean by the phrase Masjid al Haram as per Quran. (তলত গুগলৰ অনুবাদ দিয়া হৈছে) . Ayahs from 2:144 to 2:150, it’s important to understand what does it mean by the phrase Masjid al Haram as per Quran:  The phrase Masjid al Haram الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ is used in Quran in multiple places for instance refer the following ayahs. 2:191, “…do not Qatal them at Masjid al Haram unless they Qatal you there”. Shows this is a place, an area, a boundary on land etc, it cannot be a house or building where people can come and go and killing each other. In another ayah 2:196, when Allah is talking about Hajj o Umra “..this is for those whose family/household is not in the Masjid al Haram..” This ayah show that Allah is not talking about a Mosque or a building but the whole area, the city as Masjid al Haram as people were living in the place as well.
