Zul Qarnayn
Question :

Who was Zul Qarnayn according to history? Some Muslims seem to say it was Alexander the great but it can't be possible since Alexander is well known throughout history to have no such Islamic belief. So who was Zul Qarnayn?

Answer :

It appears from the Holy Quran that Thu ulqarnain was a righteous person and that almighty Allah made him capable of control a large portion of earth. This does not mean that he was a Muslim in our Islam today, but he was a good devotee that believed in monotheism which is the most important belief in Islam.

Writing the Quran
Question :

When the revelations were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and this holy household), he would have another person write it down. Why did he not write the Quran himself?

Answer :

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) did not write the Quran or any other text. Muslims used to write it. This is one of the evidences that the Quran is from Almighty Allah and not from the Prophet, since he did not exhibit any writing in his life. Despite that, he brought this great book that contains very high concepts in many aspects of intellect and in life. Almighty Allah said: “And you (O Muhammad) were not a reader of any scripture before it, nor did you write it with your right hand, for then might those have doubted who follow falsehood." (29:48)
