Dhu'l-Qarnayn is a leader who appears in the Qur'an, Surah al-Kahf (18), Ayahs 83–101, as one who travels to the east and west and sets up a barrier between a certain people and Gog and Magog. Elsewhere, the Qur'an tells how the end of the world will be signaled by the release of Gog and Magog from behind the barrier. Other apocalyptic writings predict that their destruction by God in a single night will usher in the Day of Resurrection. Most historians agree that the Quranic story originates from legends of Alexander the Great current in the Middle East, with the Quranic presentation of Dhu al-Qarnayn as a prophet-king reminiscent of the Syriac Alexander Legend.
