Alexander The Great vs Iskandar Zulkarnain

Alexander The Great was a leader in the 3rd century BC who conquered the world of mainland Greece, the Mediterranean, Egypt, Asia Minor, Persia to northern India. The name was enshrined into the city in Egypt, Alexandria or Alexandria.
There is an opinion that says that Alexander the Great is Iskandar Zulkarnain (Zulkarnain told in the name of Al-Quran surah Al-Kahf verses 83-99), but this is not Alexander even if we read a similar plot of "place of sunset" is the region Alexander's first tenure (the sun sets on the Mediterranean coast), to the east (India) and the two mountains (between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea).
Which is correct? fact history does not indicate that Alexander The Great is Zulkarnain mentioned in the Qur'an (in the Qur'an is simply called Zulkarnain, without Iskandar). Who Zulkarnain mentioned in the Qur'an? Is someone in the past or the future? No one knows, but we can take the wisdom his story and continue to seek interpretation and the facts of what has been mentioned in the Koran. Please read also the article on the Faith Freedom, Eramoslem and Swara Muslim.

We said: O Zulkarnain, you may be tortured or may do good to them ".87. Zulkarnain said: "The people who persecuted, then we will be mengazabnya, then he returned to his Lord, then God mengazabnya with punishment that does not exist taranya.88. As for those who believe and do good works, the best reward for him in return, and will we titahkan him (command) is easy from our orders ".89. Then he followed the road (another) .90. Until, when he reached the place of the rising sun (east), he found the sun was shining on a class of people that we do not make for something that protects them from the (light) the sun, 91. so. And real science We cover all that is padanya.92. Then he followed a path (yet another) .93. Until when he reached between two mountains, he found two hills before a people who scarcely understood pembicaraan.94. They said: O Zulkarnain, true Gog and Makjuj that the people who make mischief on earth, then we can give something payments to you, lest you create a wall between us and them? "95. He said: "What has been authorized by me from my Lord about it is better, then please help me with strength (personnel and tools), so I made a wall between you and them, 96. "Give me pieces of iron" Until, when iron was the same flat with the second (peak) of the mountain, said Zulkarnain: Blow (fire) ". Until, when iron was already a (red as) fire, he said: "Give me copper (boiling) to pour onto the hot iron" .97. So they could not climb it and they can not (also) melobanginya.98.
