Gog Magog consume an excessive amount of water and the Sea of Galilee

 

An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

 

They consume an excessive amount of water (Hadith)

The Qur’an has declared that Allah Most High created every living thing from water (al-Anbiyah’, 21:30). Water therefore enjoys the status of ‘mother’ of all living things including human beings. The Qur’an has further declared that Allah’s ‘Arsh (i.e. the command center from which He controls the entire creation) rests on water (Hud, 11:7). Water thus occupies a unique status in all of creation. 

 

The religious way of life is one which insists on respect for water and which prohibits waste or excessive consumption of water. Yet the profile of Gog and Magog emerging from the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alahi wa sallam) is that of a people who consume water so excessively (and foolishly) that even the Sea of Galillee in the Holy Land, would eventually become dry. Hence they are the authors of their own destruction:

 

“.  .  .  the first of them (i.e. Gog and Magog) will pass by Lake Tiberias (i.e. the Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it, and when the last of them passes, he will say: ‘There was once water here .  .  .  .’” (This implies such excessive consumption of water that nature will not be able to replenish such water and that the water-level would constantly decrease until the Lake would dry up). (Sahih Muslim)

 

“They will so drink (i.e. consume) the water of the world that when some of them pass by a stream they will drink all that is in it and leave it dry.” (Kanz al-Ummal, Hadith No 2157)

 

In addition they commit Fasad, hence they can be expected to corrupt and destroy not only the water resources of the world but, also, ‘respect’ for water. This has ominous implications for the preservation of the Sunnah in respect of both the quantity and purity of water used in Wudu (ablution) and Ghusl (bath).   

 

Gog, Magog and the Sea of Galilee (Hadith)

The above Hadith also discloses that a constantly diminishing water level of the Sea of Galilee (until it runs dry) would be evidence of a continuing passage of Gog and Magog to the grande finale in Jerusalem. Scholars who undertake a study of this subject while neglecting to examine that critically important part of the Gog and Magog profile relating to the water level of the Sea of Galilee, would make a very grave mistake indeed.

Would Gog and Magog be sent/raised after Jesus pbuh has returned and after he has killed Dajjal?

Would Gog and Magog be sent/raised after Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salam) has returned and after he has killed Dajjal? (Hadith)

“.  .  .  It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to the mountain, (fa yab’athullahu Y’ajuja wa M’ajuj) and then (in those periods of history which lead to such events) Allah will send or raise Gog and Magog (this does not necessarily imply that the release or unleashing of Gog and Magog will have to take place only after Jesus returns) and they will spread out in every direction or occupy every place of advantage. The first of them will pass by Lake Tiberias (i.e. the Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it and when the last of them would pass (and that would have to be a very long time later), he will say: ‘There was once water here .  .  .  .’” (Sahih Muslim)

 

This Hadith has been almost universally understood to state or imply that the release of Gog and Magog into the world cannot take place until Jesus (‘alaihi as-Salam) has returned and has killed Dajjal. This book rejects the use of such a defective methodology which focuses attention on a solitary Hadith interpreted in a way that nullifies all the evidence to the contrary that has been amassed from both the Qur’an and Ahadith.

Gog Magog would target Arabs in particular for oppression

They would target Arabs in particular for oppression (Hadith)

The special hostile attitude that Gog and Magog have for Arabs was disclosed by the blessed Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) after he experienced a vision concerning these evil beings. The vision disclosed to him that a hole had been made in the barrier built by Dhul Qarnain and hence that the release of Gog and Magog into the world had now commenced or would soon commence. And it was in consequence of information disclosed to him in the vision that he exclaimed “Woe to the Arabs”:

 

“Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh: One day Allah’s Apostle entered upon her in a state of fear and said: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! Woe to the Arabs from the Great evil that has approached (them). Today a hole has been opened in the barrier of Gog and Magog like this. The Prophet made a circle with his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh added: I asked: O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though there will be righteous people among us? The Prophet said: Yes, (it will come to pass) when wickedness increases (i.e. scum, evil, disgusting conduct, sexual perversity, etc. overtakes the world).” (This indicates not only political, economic and military oppression of Arabs but also, they would be demonized in every conceivable obscene and malicious way.) (Sahih Bukhari)

 

Thus Gog and Magog would target Arabs with special persecution and oppression. This would have ominous implications for the Hajj as well as for the Islamic Khilafah. Neither would survive the onslaught of Gog and Magog. Nor would it ever be possible to restore either the valid Hajj or the Sunni Islamic Khilafah so long as the Gog and Magog world-order survives.

 

Persecution and oppression of Arabs would also include racial profiling and demonization to such an extent that mankind would be brainwashed into despising Arabs. (Sahih Bukhari)
