Top
leaders of Gog and Magog and allied fasaad groups belong to the Children
of Israel
In
another description of secret fasaad group meetings, the leading members
and the top leaders (satans) are identified as belonging to the same group
(“when they secretly meet with each other,” wa idhaa khalaa ba'duhum ilaa
ba'd qaaloo atuhaddithoonahum bimaa fataha Allahu alaikum. . . Qur’an,
alBaqarah, 2:76). Who is this group?
The
context here refers to a group that conspires to reject Islam despite precise
Torah description of its prophet. The group is identified as the Children of
Israel whose fasaad behavior has not changed over the ages (Qur’an,
al-Baqarah, 2:40-73) and will not change in the future (hearts turned into
stone, will never believe in the Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:74-75). Their
conspiratorial behavior is characterized by the cow incident (Qur’an,
al-Baqarah, 2:67-73). Allah ordered them to slaughter a cow and hit the
victim's body with its parts. The victim temporarily came back to life and
named his killers (qataltum nafsan, you [plural] killed a person). The
whole community of the Children of Israel had conspired to cover up who did it
(wallahu mukhrijun ma kuntum taktumoon, and Allah will bring out what
you [plural] were concealing).
In
the Qur’an, the Children of Israel (banu isra'eel) also are referred to
as Jews (al-yahood) or the People of the Scripture (ahl al-kitab).
This last term also refers to Christians. Sometimes the context of the Qur’an
determines which community is meant, but sometimes it is left open to refer to
both communities.
Allah
also tells us that “a group from among the People of the Scripture” (the
context implies that these are either all Jews or a subgroup of them) abandoned
the Torah and adopted in its place the recitations of jinn satans (ma tatloo
ash-shayaateen, Qur’an, alBaqarah 2:101-102). These recitations may be
included in the Talmud, one of the holy books of Judaism.
Moreover,
Allah tells us that all Jews (al-yahood) collectively work hard (yas'awna,
plural) to create fasaad (wa yas'awna fil ardi fasaadan, Qur’an,
al-Maa'idah 5:64). This includes religious fasaad and all other kinds of
fasaad. Righteous People of the Scripture (righteous Jews), the
exception to this rule, are those who accept the Qur’an (Aal 'Imraan
3:113-115).
Based
on the above arguments, I conclude that the human satans who lead Gog and Magog
and the fasaad groups that work for them must belong to the Children of
Israel who follow the recitations of jinn satans.
In
the previous sections, I have established the Qur’anic basis of the
relationship between Gog and Magog. This link is crucial for the discussion of
the second set of verses that mention Gog and Magog.
Gog
and Magog have returned the Children of Israel to “their city” (Jerusalem)
In
surah al-Anbiya', verses 21:95-97, Allah mentions a city in connection with Gog
and Magog.
The
city had been destroyed and the verses state that its people are prohibited
from returning to it until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
1.
Gog and Magog have been unleashed.
2.
Gog and Magog have spread their presence all over the world. “Min kulli
hadabin yansiloon” has at least the following realizations:
a)
Gog and Magog have interbred with and have descendants in every royal family
and ruling elite.
b)
Gog and Magog have infiltrated every organization (hadab = raised
structure, organization).
c)
Gog and Magog are rushing down every hill (are launching attacks or making war
everywhere).
These
conditions suggest that Gog and Magog would be helping the people of the
destroyed city to return to it. In Chapter Six, Shaykh Hosein successfully
connects these verses to the history of Jerusalem. He points out that the
Children of Israel have indeed been brought back to Jerusalem in the last
century after the city was destroyed long ago and they were chased out of it.
These verses explain why Israel has been created and why the Children of Israel
were forced to return to their old city (Jerusalem). Shaykh Hosein correctly
argues that those who accomplished this act must be Gog and Magog.
The
fact that the leadership of Gog and Magog belongs to the Children of Israel
explains the motivation for this feat.
By
the time Gog and Magog have accomplished this mission, the True Promise (al-wa'd
al-haqq, the Last Hour) would be near. This possibly means the return of Jesus
whom the Children of Israel rejected and tried to crucify. At this time, those
who disbelieved in his true mission will stare with wide-open eyes at the truth
(shaakhisatun absaarul ladheena kafaroo) and realize that it is too late
to avoid certain doom.
Shaykh
Hosein's argument about Jerusalem being the destroyed city in the verse is
confirmed by the following. Allah tells us that He has decreed that the
Children of Israel shall twice rise to power on Earth and establish fasaad
(Qur’an, al-Israa', 17:48). The first rise to power has already happened (wa
kaana wa'dan maf'oola: and it was an appointment executed). I argue that we
are witnessing the second rise to power of the Children of Israel (the phrase “wa'dul
aakhirati” in this verse means “the appointment of the last one [rise to
power]”). As prophesied in a later verse, when this last rise happened (same
phrase: “wa'dul aakhirati”), the Children of Israel were brought to
Jerusalem by others from many different countries (fa idhaa jaa'a wa'dul aakhirati
ji'naa bikum lafeefa, Qur’an, al-Israa', 17:104).
Dajjal
(False Messiah), the leader of Gog and Magog
I
have established above that the top leaders of Gog and Magog must be from those
Children of Israel whose holy book is the recitations of jinn satans. One of
them must be the very top leader of Gog and Magog. Hadith confirms this
conclusion and refers to a Jewish personality named al-Maseeh (the
Messiah) adDajjal (liar, confuser, conman) which refers to the False
Messiah (they rejected the real Messiah, Jesus 'alaihissalaam). The
Prophet salla Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam identified him as Ibn Sayyad, a
young Jewish man living in Medina. Hadith also told us that Dajjal was present
at the same time in a different form on a certain island. Obviously, Dajjal
appears in different forms and phases. In his book, Jerusalem in the Qur’an,
Shaykh Hosein deals with the phases of the Dajjal.
Gog
and Magog have infiltrated religious sects
Based
on the Qur’an's description of the typical structure of fasaad groups,
Ibn Mas'oud radiallahu 'anhu (the famous companion of the Prophet sallallahu
'alaihi wasallam) called the Muslim sects emerging in his time “the Jews of
Islam.” What he meant was that they manifested typical characteristics of fasaad
groups that are masterminded by Jews. Hadith tells us that all sects are in
Hell. Only the mainstream who stick to Qur’an and Sunna are saved.
In
Chapter One, Shaykh Hosein reviews Muslim sects and challenges them to take a
proper stand on the issue of Gog and Magog. Certain Christian, Hindu, Buddhist,
atheist and polytheist sects also manifest some characteristics of fasaad
groups.
Naturally,
these sects ally themselves with the most powerful fasaad group, Gog and
Magog. As we speak, the leaders of these sects may be coordinating with Dajjal.
Maybe this is why Allah prohibits Muslims from ever taking Jews or Christians
as sponsors or allies (awliyaa'). He warns that they are only
sponsors and allies of each other (ba'duhum awliyaa'u ba'd, Qur’an,
al-Maa'idah, 5:51). Shaykh Hosein specifically points to the alliance between
European Jews and Christians as the embodiment of Gog and Magog.
Implications
Shaykh
Hosein ponders in depth the spiritual, social and political consequences of the
release of Gog and Magog. I believe that the most important question is this:
how do we avoid being persuaded by the sweet talk of charismatic satanic
leaders into joining apparently good activities that are in fact evil fasaad
activities? Surah al-Kahf offers an answer: withdraw from cities. Hadith
recommends this approach, too. In Chapter Seven, Shaykh Hosein suggests the
“Muslim Village.”
The
collective integrity of the Ummah (the global Muslim community) has been
shattered long ago. The Islamic Khilafah (central government) can never
be restored so long as the Gog and Magog world order maintains its control over
the earth. Surah asSaff 61:1-14 gives an overview of world history and future
events. Those of the Children of Israel with twisted minds who have betrayed
Moses and Jesus 'alaihimassalaam will try in vain to blow out Allah's
light. They offer their False Messiah, Dajjal, instead of Jesus. Their Gog and
Magog troops have overrun the globe. But Imam al-Mahdi ‘alaihissalaam
will start the final battle against them, and Jesus ‘alaihissalaam will
end it. And then he will rule the Earth according to Islam.
