Gog & Magog

Assalamualaikum wbt. I am purposely dropping by to share a bit about the sign of the last day in this modern world by one of the islamic scholar, Syeikh Imran Nazar Hosein. Anyone interested may download the book here

European Crusader conquest of Jerusalem in 1917

“There is a ban on a town (i.e. Jerusalem) which we destroyed

(and whose people were then expelled) that they (i.e. the people of

the town) can never return (to reclaim that town as their own) until

Gog and Magog are released and they spread out in all directions

(thus taking control of the world while establishing the Gog and

Magog world-order).”

(Our comments are in brackets)       

(Qur’ān, al-Anbiyāh’, 21:95-6)

We are witnessing destruction on a global scale. There is an urgent need to understand the nature of this destruction and to find out what we can do about it. Religious scholars are competing to deliver answers. The religion that delivers the most useful answers will prevail in the minds of those who honestly seek the truth.

Muslim scholars put Islam at a great disadvantage in this competition because they offer a solid alibi to the primary suspects of global destruction. The scholars say that Gog and Magog, a destructive force that is prophesied to spread everywhere, are still locked up behind a barrier. 

This belief makes Muslims look like the foolish man whose house began crumbling down around him because termites filled up the walls. Still, this man goes to bed every night thanking Allah that the bug inspector has not found any termite infestation in the house. 

Allah  subhanahu wata'aala promised to preserve the Holy Qur’ān. But He did not promise to preserve Hadith (reports about what the blessed Prophet of Islam said or did) or tafseer  (Qur’ān commentary). The confusion about Gog and Magog results from two sources: 

1. accepting errors and omissions in tafseer 

2. accepting false ahadeeth (hadiths) or hadith 

misinterpretations that are contrary to the Qur’ā

The latter problem can be resolved by adhering to the principle that all ahadeeth must be based on the Holy Qur’ān. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya rahimahullah was a prolific scholar 
of Qur’ān and Hadith. He memorized the Qur’ān and countless ahadeeth, and was able to instantly recall all the  verses and ahadeeth on any subject. He confirmed the above-mentioned principle in his  Fatawa and stated that for every good hadith he knew, he was able to cite one or more Qur’ān verses upon which that hadith was based. The Prophet  sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam would state a hadith (containing a decision, a judgment, or an 
instruction) and then he would cite a supporting Qur’ān verse. The Companions of the Prophet,  radiyallahu 'anhum, regularly used this method. 


On the other hand, tafseer errors and omissions on the subject of Gog and Magog are so pervasive that we can no longer find a tafseer that discusses even the remote possibility that they may have been released. To find out what the Qur’ān really says about Gog and Magog, one is better off starting from scratch. Shaykh Imran Hosein has done just that. In this book, Shaykh Hosein challenges the scholars to revisit the belief that Gog and Magog have not been released yet. He shows that—although apparently supported by a hadith—the belief contradicts the Qur’ān. He makes a compelling case that Gog and Magog were unleashed long ago. He does so by examining contemporary and historical facts and connecting them to verses from the Qur’ān.
