Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 85

Assalam o Alaikum.Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. A polite reminder to recite whole or part of Al Kahf on this blessed day.
Today's Ayah No 85 consists of short crisp words that "he (Zulqarnain) followed the way. Previous Ayah No 84 (shared below) stated, "We gave him to everything a way." Could this "way" be a portal? Could Zulqarnain be a time traveler? Following two Hadith are making a strong case for it.
1. Kâ`b al-Ahbâr (r.a.) had claimed that Zulqarnain tied his horse to a star, and he was warned by Muawiya for saying so. 
2. Ali ibn Abi Talib(r.a.) has stated that God the Almighty subjugated for Zulqarnain the clouds to carry him wherever he wished.
Likewise, could Gog Mgog (mentioned in Ayah No 94) be creatures from other planets? Are we flexible enough to part with the our traditional way of thinking and Quranic interpretations? Unless we do that how on earth could we prepare, equip and withstand Dajjal's onslaught, an enormous calamity about which every prophet of Allah had warned. Wait a second, was Dajjal not chained somewhere as per Hadith of Tameem-al-Dari? Hadith link is shared below:

If Dajjal was alive back then, then is he still alive or could he timetravel back and forth? Interesting, very interesting conundrums in this story. Let's see how the story unfolds in coming weeks.
