Abstract

Dhulqarnayn is a figure who has mentioned in the Qur’ran. Various opinions about who was he in real life was mentioned by the commentators in various versions. The first version was revealed that he was Alexander the Great (also called Iskandar Agung) of Macedonia, Greece. The second version mentions that the reference to Dhulqarnayn was King Darius I (521-485 BC) the emperor of Persia. The third version reveals, Dhulqarnayn was Abi Bakr bin Ifriqy. He was a king of Himyar located on the Arabian Peninsula. In addition, there is also an opinion that the story about the existence of this figure is only a symbol. He was never definitively exist in history. This article examines two historical paradigms and mythical contradictory, but complementary. So, Dhulqarnayn as a figure can be understood as a character, strength, positive institution or system and to protect and bring prosperity to those who take refuge under his control. Therefore, atleast, benefits ibrahor lesson from this story, of course, is the first thing that must be taken before the other.
