<P> `` Dhul - Qarnayn '' ( the `` Two - Horned One '' in English ) is a person described in the Quran , the sacred scripture believed by Muslims to have been revealed by Allah to Muhammad . The story of Dhul - Qarnayn appears in seventeen short verses of the Quran , specifically verses 18 : 83 -- 99 of Surah Al - Kahf . Dhul - Qarnayn is mentioned in only one place in the Quran , unlike the more familiar stories that are repeated throughout the text ( for example , Jesus is mentioned in 93 verses in 15 different surahs of the Quran ) . The Quranic story describes a man called Dhul - Qarnayn ( meaning `` the Two - Horned '' ) , who was already familiar to the inhabitants of the region , to whom Allah gave great power , and who traveled to a place , where it appeared to him as if the sun was setting in a murky ( or boiling ) sea . At this place , Dhul - Qarnayn builds a wall in order to enclose the nations of Gog and Magog . It is thought that Gog and Magog will breach Dhul - Qarnayn 's wall before Yaum al - Qiyāmah ( the Day of Judgement ) and will wreak havoc in the world ( Islamic Armageddon ) : </P>
