OBVIOUS AND COMPELLING SCIENTIFIC ERRORS IN THE QUR'AN

Zalqarnain Allegedly Has Visited the Rising and Setting Places of the Sun

Qur'an 18:84

"They will ask thee of Dulqarneyn say: I shall recite to you a remembrance of him 85. Lo! We made him strong in the land and give him A ROAD TO EVERY THING. 86 And he followed a road. 87 Till when he REACHED the setting PLACE of the sun, he FOUND it SETTING in a MUDDY SPRING, and FOUND a people there about. We said Dulqarneyn: Either punish or show them kindness. 88 He said: As for him who doeth wrong, we shall punish him, then he will be brought back to his Lord, who will punish with awful punishment! 89 But as for him who doeth right, good will be his reward and we shall speak to him a mild command. 90 Then he FOLLOWED a ROAD. 91 Till when he REACHED the RISING PLACE of the sun, he FOUND it RISING on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter there from. 92 So it was and WE KNOW ALL concerning him.."

1. Allah was telling Muhammad the story of Zulqarnain in case he was asked about it. So it was not intended to be a parable but exact account.

2. Allah gave Zulqarnain ROAD TO EVERY PLACE (thing) impliedly including the roads to the setting place and rising place of the sun.

3. Zulqarnain did not just saw from a distance but supposedly REACHED the SETTING PLACE and RISING PLACE of the sun.

4. Zulqarnain FOUND a people at both the SETTING PLACE and RISING PLACE of the sun. So he supposedly visited the two locations. So, this is an OBVIOUS error

So Berat, the problem is not just the Hadith. The Quran is scientifically wrong.
