 {{Quote|{{Quran|18|90}}|
-Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against the sun. }}
+Till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom. }}
-Some Muslim Apologists have come up with creative interpretations of these verse to say that Dhul-Qrnayn only traveled until reached a spot "at the time" when the sun set and not the "place" where the sun set. Unfortunately the [[Dhul-Qarnayn_and_the_Sun_Setting_in_a_Muddy_Spring_-_Part_One#Second_interpretation:_He_reached_.5Ba_place_at.5D_the_time_of_sunset_and_sunrise_or_he_reached_those_times|context and Arabic words]] used in the verse point to a physical location. Again, we must ask why an all-knowing being would use such vague and misleading verses if he was simply trying to relate a time at which a person reached his destination.
+Some Muslim Apologists have come up with creative interpretations of these verses to say that Dhul-Qrnayn only traveled until he reached "the west" or to a spot "at the time" when the sun set and not the "place" where the sun set. Unfortunately, these alternative interpretations are severely undermined by the [[Dhul-Qarnayn_and_the_Sun_Setting_in_a_Muddy_Spring_-_Part_One#Second_interpretation:_He_reached_.5Ba_place_at.5D_the_time_of_sunset_and_sunrise_or_he_reached_those_times|context and Arabic words]] used in these verses, which instead point to a physical location. Again, we must ask why an all-knowing being would use such misleading verses that mimic the misconceptions and legends prevalent at the time if one of these alternative explanations is correct.
