Abstract

The teachings of Islam had a significant impact on the further development of the theme of Alexander, the development in the East. This great influence rests on three important foundations – the Qur'an, hadiths and interpretations. The tradition of writing works on the theme of Alexander was enriched with new subject lines, images, episodes and motives under their influence. It has improved in content and acquired original interpretations. In particular, the Qur'anic surah "Kahf" made a turning point in the evolution of the theme and tradition in the East. Commentaries written on this surah are distinguished by their own character. In them, the details of the story of Zulqarnayn were added with views and interpretations related to the story of Alexander. That is, in the interpretations, the theme of Alexander was received, two traditions were mixed.This article examines the same aspect of interpretations and draws conclusions based on the works of famous commentators of the East. It is stated that the traditions of Alexander and Zulqarnay were erroneously added, and such a view does not have any reliable grounds.
