An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

 

CONCLUSION

 

This book was written with the specific objective of inviting a response from those rivals of Islam in the modern age claiming to possess truth. The book also invites a response from the multiplicity of sects that now inhabit the house of Islam – sects that are obsessed with waging war on those who pursue the authentic Islamic spiritual quest (i.e. al-Ihsan or Tasawwuf). 

 

One of our objectives in writing this book was to attempt to bring such clarity to the subject of Gog and Magog as would dispel the layers of cobwebs that have accumulated over time. These cobwebs made it impossibly difficult for the subject to be understood. Even the Jewish Encyclopedia found it mysteriously necessary to add a substantial amount of cobweb (fairly dense cobweb at that) when choosing material which describes Gog and Magog in Arabic literature. Since this book is now completed we can, perhaps, take the liberty of sharing that hilarious cobweb with readers:

 

“They are of small stature, attaining to only one-half the size of a man (another report, in Yaḳut, i. 113, makes them larger). Very ferocious, they have claws instead of nails, teeth like a lion, jaws like a camel, and hair which completely hides the body. Their ears, hairy on one side, are so large that they use one for a bed and the other for a covering. They live principally on fish, which are miraculously provided for them. They resemble animals in their habits; and Mas'udi classes them among the beasts. They used to ravage the country, devouring every green thing; and it was to prevent this that the people living near them begged Alexander to build the wall shutting them in. It is even said that they were cannibals.”  (Jewish Encyclopedia, Article on Gog and Magog by Emil G. Hirsh and Mary Montgomery).

 

This book has presented arguments confirming that Gog and Magog are human beings. They were released into the world a very long time ago and began, with the European Crusades, their ‘thousand-year-old’ quest to liberate the qaryah (i.e., ‘town’) of Jerusalem and bring the Israelite people back to reclaim the Holy Land as their own. In pursuing that quest they fulfilled their role described in the blessed Qur’an in Surah al-Anbiyah’:94-5. 

 

We recognize the proactive Gog to be located within Western Europe’s mysterious Judeo-Christian alliance, which in turn, created modern Western secular civilization and the Anglo-American-Israeli triple alliance. We recognize the reactive Magog to be presently located in Russia. The Qur’an has strictly prohibited Muslims from maintaining, with a Jewish-Christian alliance, precisely the kind of friendly ties and alliance that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Pakistani elite (for example) have established with Britain and USA. The Qur’an declared of those acting the way of the Saudi regime, as well as most governments in the Muslim world and the scholars supporting such governments, that they belong to that alliance rather than to the community of Islam (Qur’an, al-Maidah, 5:51). However, to the extent that Russia does not become a part of that Western Judeo-Christian alliance, there is no prohibition of Muslims entering into an alliance with Russia. This may yet take place since the blessed Prophet prophesied that “you will make an alliance with Rum”.

 

A large number of Signs of the Last Hour (i.e. Last Day) as prophesied by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) connect to Western  civilization created by the Jewish-Christian alliance, for example: “women would dress like men” (hence a feminist revolution seducing women to assume the functional role of men in society), “women would be dressed and yet be naked” (and this will provoke a sexual revolution in which sex would eventually be as freely available to all and sundry as is sunshine), “people would have sexual intercourse in public like donkeys” (hence a strange preference for public rather than private sex), “men would dress like women” (and this requires that beards be shaven), “Dajjal would ride on a donkey which would travel as fast as the clouds and would have its ears stretched out wide” (i.e. the modern aircraft);  etc. 

 

That Western civilization emerged in the historical process by divine decree with a mission of first seducing into its embrace, and then blending or merging all of mankind so seduced, into one global godless society. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every one thousand of mankind would eventually become members of that global society. The entire Gog and Magog tainted global society that was so embraced, and which copied an essentially godless and decadent way of life, would then be lead into the hellfire. 

 

Modern Western secular civilization would achieve that success in so seducing all of mankind (save the true Muslim) because it would deceive mankind with a dazzling claim to a new secular dawn in human history that appears from the West rather than the East. Religious ‘Truth’, which rose upon the world with Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them and upon all other Prophets of the One God), would become obsolete and moribund and would be consigned to the museums of history. However that “sun rising from the west” would be false sunrise that the true Muslim would recognize and reject.

 

The Judeo-Christian alliance also created a Gog and Magog world-order with a mysterious obsession for liberating the Holy Land – hence the European Crusades. That world-order eventually succeeded in bringing the Israelite Jews back to the Holy Land to reclaim it as their own 2000 years after they were expelled by divine decree. It also succeeded in restoring an (imposter) Holy State of Israel in the Holy Land and is now poised to deliver to that imposter Israel the status of ruling state in the world. All of this was done in order that an evil being, created and programmed by Allah Most High, i.e. Dajjal the false Messiah, could rule the world from Jerusalem and then declare himself the true Messiah. 

 

However the Qur’an has informed us that Allah Most High would one day cause a momentous Gog and Magog clash to take place. As soon as we recognize Russia to be the Magog of the Qur’an, we can anticipate the coming world-shattering ‘star-wars’ clash in which Gog (i.e. the Anglo-American-Israeli ‘Western’ alliance) and Magog will “surge against each other” like waves (Qur’an, al-Kahf, 18:99). In the process they would not only destroy themselves as well as, perhaps, most of North America and Europe, but also leave the arrogant oppressor Euro-Jewish State of Israel totally defenseless. That Armageddon is now so close that children now at school should live to see it.

 

We have in a previous chapter, examined the implications which emerge from release of Gog and Magog into the world. The most frightful of all was prophecy that 999 out of every 1000 of mankind would enter into the hellfire. That would naturally include a very large number of Muslims. In addition there was the frighful prophecy of “destruction of the Arabs” which would take place when Khabath (such as public nudity and public sex) prevails in the world. Nabi Muhammad pbuh made explicit reference to that Khabath when he prophesied that donkey-sex in public would one day take place. 

 

The warning for those (Muslims in particular) who read this book is that if they live in a society which has already descended into such Khabath (such as USA, Britain and many parts of Europe, etc), or is embracing Khabath, they must part from such people or they will be counted to be one of them and will share in the punishment that awaits such people. Since the Prophet pbuh prophecied that women would be the last people to follow Dajjal the implication is that women would lead the way to this Khabath. It is in this context that we have suggested the creation of Muslim Villages in the remote countryside.

 

This book was also written with the specific objective of inviting a response from those rivals of Islam in the modern age claiming to possess truth. The book also invites a response from the multiplicity of sects that now inhabit the house of Islam – sects that are obsessed with waging war on those who pursue the authentic Islamic spiritual quest (i.e. al-Ihsan or Tasawwuf). 

 

That spiritual quest is pursued in order to acquire Nur (i.e. light). It is only with Nur which comes from Allah Most High that one can see and understand the strange modern world (that otherwise cannot be seen or understood), and only those who can explain the reality of the world today can validate their claim to truth. This book, written from an Islamic perspective, lays claim to correctly explaining the reality of the strange world today, in which events are fast unfolding that are all linked to a grande finale in the Holy Land. In explaining those unfolding events in the way that it does, this book provides evidence that validates Islam’s claim to truth. 

 

This writer cherishes knowledge, and has the greatest respect for those servants of Allah Most High who are blessed with knowledge. He prays that this hunble book may be blessed to make a positive contribution to knowledge. Amin! 

 

Muslims who read this book and are convinced by the evidence presented and the interpretation of the blessed Qur’an and Ahadith, should now be firm in their resolve to follow Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) rather than the Gog and Magog global society.  That global society has already embraced most of mankind in its destructive embrace – destructive most of all of faith in Allah Most High and of righteous conduct.

 

Secondly, members of such sectarian groups and movements as Shiasm, Ahmadiyyah, Wahhabism, Tableegh Jama’at, Islamic modernist movements and Elitist Sufi sectarianism who are convinced by the arguments raised in this book, should now critically examine the validity of their sectarian Islamic affiliations.  

 

Finally, while the views expressed in Dr Tamman Adi’s brilliantly written Introduction to this book have largely coincided with this writer’s views expressed in the book, there were some differences between the two, and it is our hope that these differences, as well as the book as a whole, would provoke such further research in the subject as would extend the frontiers of knowledge Insha’ Allah.

Islamic Modernism

An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

 

Islamic Modernism

This is a sect of secularized Muslims who are enamored by the scientific and technological achievements of modern Western secular civilization and by its political and military power and economic prosperity. They recognize and interpret this power and these achievements as a validation of secular Western civilization’s claim to truth. Indeed some of them actually claim that modern Western secular civilization emerged out of Islam and represents the blossoming of all that is best in Islam. The sect made its debut  in post-Caliphate Turkey.  

 

‘Islamic modernists’ wish to see the world of Islam so modernized that Muslims could comfortably embrace the Western way of life complete with its political Shirk, economic and monetary Riba, feminist revolution, and the like. Islamic modernists usually come to terms with the State of Israel and enter into friendship and alliance with that state. Modernist Turkey did so, and Musharraf’s modernist regime in Pakistan attempted to do the same. Other Islamic modernists find it expedient to maintain a convenient silence in response to oppression in the Holy Land.

 

They accept Israel’s moral and legal right to exist. They do so despite Israel’s record of continuing oppression from the moment of its tortured immoral and unjust creation and throughout its bloodstained existence. Some Islamic modernists even criticize mainstream Islam in its conflict with the Ahmadiyyah Movement. Others identify themselves with the West to the extent that when they reside in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, etc., they refer to members of the US and British armed forces engaged in brutal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan as ‘our’ troops. They function as sponges that readily soak up all that they receive at the altar of the West. They can be easily identified through their denunciation of Jihad and those whom they demonize as Jihadists. They adopt terminology as “Islamists” and “Islamism” and hurl abuses against “Mullas”, “Islamic obscurantism” and “Islamic fundamentalism”. The late, Oxford-educated, Benazir Bhutto, was a typical product of Islamic modernism. 

 

They are quick to lecture Muslims against committing acts of terrorism but in doing so these Islamic modernists actually deliver false unspoken recognition of Muslim responsibility for such acts of terrorism as the 9/11 attack on America. In doing so they subliminally advance a sinister agenda on behalf of the Jewish-Christian alliance that now controls power in the world. They never recognize and denounce the greatest terrorist-States that the world has ever known, since if they were ever to criticize Israel, USA, UK and Europe for state-sponsored terrorism and for genocide in occupied Gaza in the Holy Land for example, and extend tangible support to the oppressed Palestinian Muslims and Christians, their modernist platform and alliance with the West would not survive. They close their ears and eyes and refuse to join the majority of American people in rejecting as lies the official US government explanation of the 9/11 terrorist attack on America.

 

Such misguided ‘Islamic modernists’ lack the capacity to recognize that while both civilizations have benefited from each other, the foundation of modern Western civilization is the anti-thesis of Islam. The religion of Islam is founded on truth, absolute moral values and a spiritual interpretation of the universe which transcends the visible material world. On the other hand this godless and decadent rival to Islam rejects belief in any reality beyond material reality, and constantly creates its own secular values in which, for example, homosexuality and lesbianism are no longer morally evil. There can be no synthesis between truth on the one hand, and godlessness, decadence, ethical relativism and metaphysical materialism on the other, yet the raison d’etre of Islamic modernism is located in the effort to realize precisely such a synthesis. 

 

This writer has recognized Dajjal as the mastermind responsible for bringing modern Western secular civilization into being, and just as Dajjal has the word Kafir (disbeliever) written between his eyes on his forehead so too is Kufr (disbelief) indelibly imprinted on the face of this civilization. Islamic Modernism is emphatically entrenching itself in the modern West in countries such as USA and UK. But it has also raised its ugly head in the Muslim world as was evident from recent events in Malaysia for example. Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah Badawi has championed the cause of Islamic Modernism with his Islam Hadari movement.

 

Common to all these misguided sects is their reluctance to teach or write on the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’. They also share with many in the rest of the world of Islam a curious, highly regrettable and utter lack of interest in seeking to locate the iron barrier that Dhul Qarnain had built which must necessarily be still standing if Gog and Magog have not as yet been released into the world. 

 

Also common to these sects is their demonization of those Muslims who pursue the authentic path of al-Ihsan or Tasawwuf (i.e. Islamic spirituality) despite the fact that this is a path and a struggle which can eventually deliver Nurullah (i.e. light from Allah Most High) and with it a capacity to see with two eyes (the internal and external) while Dajjal the false Messiah and his many disciples see with only one eye (i.e. the external eye). 

 

The world continues to wait for a scholarly work from Islamic modernists on the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’. 

 

Elitist sectarian Sufism

Finally we must make mention of certain modern-day elitist Sufis who wield a magical pen in proclaiming the gospel of Islamic spirituality yet remain amazingly blind and incapable of recognizing the reality of much of what was described above, or are mysteriously silent on the subject. Neither can they recognize that the Hajj in the Saudi-American Kingdom is now controlled by the enemies of Islam and has therefore lost much of its validity, nor that modern non-redeemable paper currencies, as well as the cashless electronic money that is now poised to replace paper money, to be bogus, fraudulent and hence Haram. They cannot recognize the bogus nature of much of so-called Shariah-compliant Islamic Finance (the so-called Murabaha center-piece transaction of modern so-called Islamic finance is, in fact, Riba disguised as a sale), nor can they recognize voting in elections of the modern secular State to be an act of Shirk, and the list goes on and on. Most significant of all however is their non-participation, even with the pen, in the struggle of the contemporary world of Islam for liberation from western political and economic oppression. Yet many of these so-called Sufis constitute themselves as condescending elitist Muslims while others participate in sectarian rivalry with gusto. 

 

In demonstrating its capacity to use the Qur’an and Ahadith to accurately explain the strange world today, Islamic scholarship would not only validate truth in Islam but also distinguish itself from such elitist and sectarian Islamic scholarship. In explaining the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’ Islamic scholarship would blaze a trail that would benefit Muslims who seek to distinguish between the very many spurious sectarian claims to authenticity in Islam on the one hand and the true faith on the other. 

 

Finally let us remind readers that many ‘Signs’ of the ‘Last Day’ are directly linked to the worst forms of oppression that are constantly escalating in the Holy Land. True Muslims can be recognized and distinguished from their counterfeit sectarian rivals through their determined resistance of the godless decadent oppressors who now rule the world on behalf of the imposter Euro-Jewish State of Israel. The rightly-guided community of Muslims (i.e. Jama’ah) would be those blessed with the capacity to locate that explanation of ‘Signs of the Last Day’ in the blessed Qur’an and Ahadith which explains events now unfolding in the Holy Land, and which guides to a proper response. They would be those who, as a consequence, wage a courageous struggle to realize in that Holy Land the triumph of truth and justice over falsehood, injustice and barbaric oppression.

Top leaders of Gog and Magog and allied fasaad groups belong to the Children of Israel

 

An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

 

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.
