Not only do they possess formidable military
power but, in addition, it is clear from the use of the word ‘arrows’ in the Hadith
quoted below that they will be capable of waging what is now known as ‘star
wars’. After all did the blessed Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
not say: "It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message
(of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be
conveyed will understand it better than those who have actually heard it."
(Sahih Bukhari)
“... Gog and Magog would walk
until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of
Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the Earth.
Let us now kill those who are in the sky and they would throw their arrows
towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. . .
.” (Sahih Muslim)
They
absorb mankind into their global godless melting pot (Qur’an
and Hadith)
Surah al-Kahf of the Qur’an has recorded Dhul
Qarnain’s warning that Allah Most High would one day destroy/demolish/make-level
the barrier that he had built with blocks of iron. When the barrier is
destroyed and Gog and Magog are released into the world by divine decree, they
would merge like waves into all the different nations, tribes and people who constitute
mankind in such wise that all of mankind, save the true servants of Allah Most
High, would be absorbed into the godless decadent Gog and Magog meltingpot.
This is quite clear from the Hadith which disclosed that on
Judgement Day, 999 out of every 1000 of mankind would have become Y’ajuj
and M’ajuj and would all enter into the hellfire:
“Narrated Abu Said Al Khudri: The Prophet
said: On the day of Resurrection Allah will say: O Adam! Adam will reply:
Labbaik our Lord, and Sa’daik. Then there will be a loud call (saying): Allah
orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire. Adam
will say: O Lord! How many are they for the (Hell) Fire? Allah will say: Out of
each thousand, take out 999. At that time every pregnant female shall drop her
load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. “And you shall see
mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of
Allah”. (Qur’an, al-Hajj, 22:2) (When the Prophet mentioned this), the people
were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in color)
whereupon the Prophet said: From Y’ajuj and M’ajuj nine hundred and ninety-nine
will be taken out, and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number
of other people) will be like a black hair on the side of a white ox or a white
hair on the side of a black ox and I hope that you will be one-fourth of the people
of Paradise. On that we said: Allahu-Akbar! Then he said: I hope that you will
be one-third of the people of Paradise. We again said: Allahu-Akbar! Then he
said: (I hope that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise. So we said:
Allahu-Akbar.” (Sahih Bukhari)
There would be very few (i.e. one in a
thousand) left in the world who would successfully resist the test and trial of
Gog and Magog.They would be equivalent to ‘square’ pegs incapable of being
absorbed in ‘round’ Gog and Magog holes. They would be those who faithfully
followed the blessed Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
They
make possible the return of people to their ‘town’ (Qur’an)
(In our view the Qur’anic verse (al-Anbiyah’, 21:95-6) refers to the
return of the Jews to Jerusalem, and that explains the restoration in the Holy
Land of a State of Israel)
This part of the Gog and Magog profile (or
what we describe as footprints) that is located in the Qur’an in Surah
al-Anbiyah’, is by far the most important of all their footprints with
which they can be recognized.The Qur’an
delivered the astonishing news that the people of a ‘town’ (that was destroyed
by Allah Most High) would never be able to return to their town (i.e. after
Allah Most High had expelled them and banned their return) to reclaim it as their
own, until Gog and Magog were released and, in addition, they had spread out in
all directions (hence take control of the world). We have argued in our book entitled
Jerusalem in the Qur’an that the ‘town’ is Jerusalem:
“There is a ban on a town (i.e. Jerusalem)
which we destroyed (and whose people were expelled) that they (the people) 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).” (Qur’an, al-Anbiyah’,
21:95-6)
This is a dramatic instance of such verses
of the Qur’an which can only be penetrated and correctly
understood through employing the system of meaning methodology as well
as through an acute examination of emerging data located outside of the Qur’an.
It is this Gog and Magog footprint that Allah Most Wise has located for
us in the blessed Qur’an which must be recognized to be supremely
important and which must be given priority over any contradictory footprint located
in the Ahadith.
