and Magog" is one of the portents of Doomsday. The appearance of Gog
and Magog in the End Times, shortly before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi
(as), became a reality with the First and Second World Wars. (Allah
knows the truth.) It appears from the hadith of our Prophet (saas)
that "Hazrat Mahdi(as) will rule over the world just like
Dhu'l-Qarnayn (as) and Sulayman (as)." 1 That there are indications of
the End Times in the story of Dhu'l-Qarnayn, in which the tribe of
Gogand Magog is mentioned.
In the Qur'an, Gog and Magog are a people noteworthy as a bloodthirsty
movement opposed to Allah. There have always been corrupt movements
opposed to Allah; but thereal global corruption took place in the End
Times in World Wars I and II.
The want experienced inthis time of corruption can be seen in the
following hadith of our Prophet (saas):
"... The peoples of Gog and Magog will flood down from high places,
such as mountains and hills, a nd will infect people and eat
everything and drink lakes dry, as a result of which there will be a
great famine ." 2
"Gog and Magog… will attack people and drink all their water , and
people will begin to flee from them …" 3
"Gog and Magog will come down. As Almighty Allah says, 'They will
flowdown from high places,' and infect people, and Muslims will flee
from them and retire to the cities and their castles and will take
their animals with them. Gog and Magog will drink the waters of the
earth and when they come to a river they will drink it dry, and those
who come after them will say,'There used to be water here.' When
nobody remains who has not entered special shelters, their spokesman
will say,'We have been saved from the people of the earth, now it is
the turn of the people of the sky...' 4
The hadith may be indicating the climate of trouble, famine and
difficulty between the world wars. (Allah knows the truth.) The wars
involved cities, andpeople fled the bombingfrom the ground and skyby
moving into shelters. These hadith emphasize the misery and poverty of
those days.
In another hadith, our Prophet (saas) reveals that Gog and Magog are a
human society made up of various peoples:
"Gog and Magog consist of 22 tribes ..." 5
In that regard, Gog and Magog refer to the alliance of communist and
fascist countries thatjoined forces in the world wars. (Allah knows
the truth.)
We also know from other hadith of our Prophet (saas) that the people
Gog and Magog will "spread corruption" 6 and "be a community
ofdeniers," 7 In one hadith our Prophet (saas) states:
"On the night of the Ascension [the Miraj], Allah sent me to Gog
andMagog; I called them to the religion, but they refused ... For that
reason, they will go to Hell together with those of the line of Adam
and satan who rebelled against Allah." 8
GOG AND MAGOG, DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN,VERY LIKELY REFER TO THE FIRST
AND SECOND WORLDWARS >>>
