According to Father Zakaria Boutros, Muhammad plagiarized from pre-Islamic or Nazarene poetry. His ideas and evidence are quite interesting.

Scientific Miraculousness And Errors in the Quran

“And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say:” I shall recite to you something of his story." we established him in the earth, and we gave him the means of everything. So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in Ein Hame’h, and he found near it a people"
Ein Hame’h means a spring of black muddy and hot water
How the sun set in a spring and the sun is one million and thirty thousands folds bigger than the earth
Some may say that: the sunset in" Ein Hame’h" is what seems to be for the watcher eye of the sun’s motion in the horizon, as the sun is moving from east to the west, and to the watcher it seems that it is setting in the spring
That’s not true, as it was said that God gave Alexander the great everything, and granted him the knowledge, so he was under the commandment of God and his guidance, he was following the knowledge and not the mere vision
And what was mentioned in the quran couldn’t bear any exegesis in that meaning, but confirms that Alexander the great went by himself and saw the sun with his own eyes!!
As the verse said وجدها" “meaning he found it” and not “he saw it” so finding it is a reality
وجدها" " in the intermediary dictionary , part 2 and page 1113 means: "he realized it with cognition "
We are asking from where Muhammad quoted this idea?
Actually it had roots in the poetry of pre-Islam epoch
In a book for Louis sickout, he was one of the poets of the pre-Islam Nazarenes
There was a poem for Omi’ah Ibn Al-Salet about Alexander the great, he said:
He reached the east and west seeking reigning
He found the sun setting
In a spring of long and black mud
Omi’ah Ibn Al-Salet was one of the contemporaries of the prophet, and the prophet liked his poems very much, and quoted lot of those poems, Muhammad said about him: Omi’ah was just about to be a Muslim
Who was Dhul-Qarnain?
Al-Tabry said: narrated Oqu’da Ibn Amer; he came to the prophet one day saying to him: a group of people of the scripture are here, they want to see you, he replied : what should I tell them , I have no knowledge except that given to me by God, he made ablution and told him , let them in: they came in and asked him about Alexander the great, he said: " he was a Romanian man , he built the city of Alexandria , and when he finished building it , an angel came to him and carried him up to the sky telling him : I was sent from God to you to let you teach the illiterates , then he brought him to a mountain with a sliding surface, then he passed by Gouge and Magog , then he took him to a nation their faces like that of dogs, fighting Gouge and Magog, he passed them and went to a nation fighting that nation whose faces like that of the dogs , then passed them to another nation"
Oqu’da asked Ali about “Dhul-Qarnain” he said: he was a man who loved God and God loved him and he commanded people to live in the piety of God, but they stroke him on his horn and killed him, but God revived him, and they stroke him on his other horn then he died, so he was called the one of two horns " Dhul-Qarnain"
Al-Quortoby said he was a man sent by God, and by him God had conquered the earth
Al-Darqatly said in his book" the news" there was an angel named Rabakeel was coming to" Dhul-Qarnain" and his name was Alexander, he was a Greek Macedonian king
So was Alexander the great a prophet of God receiving revelations from God and angels taking him to the sky?
According to the well known history, Alexander the great was a Greek pagan conqueror and not a prophet of God
