The story of Gog and Maagog
_Episode 6 (final episode)_
How can we compromise between the Qur'anic Verse that reads: {So
they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)) could not scale it or
dig through it}. (Al-Kahf, 97) and the Prophetic Hadith that is
transmitted by Imam Al- Bukhari and Imam Muslim on the authority
of Mother of the Believers, Zainab Bint Jahsh (May Allah be
pleased with her) as saying: That the Prophet (Peace be upon
him) once came to her in a state of fear and said: ('None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a
danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall
of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and
index finger. Zainab Bint lahsh said: ('0 Allah's Messenger!
Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among
us?" He said: "Yes, when the evil persons will increase." And in
another narration: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Allah
has made an opening in the wall of the Gog and Magog (people)
like this, and he made with his hand (with the help of his
fingers)." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
The answer is that: this means one of two things: the first is
that this is an indication of the opening of gates of evil and
turmoil and hence, this is a mere example set for us. The second
view considers this as narrating a concrete matter for His
Statement, {So they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)] could
not scale it or dig through it}, i.e. at their time for the
sentence is in the past tense, the matter which does not
contradict the possibility of its taking place in the future
with the Permission of Allah the Almighty. But, as for the other
Hadith that is narrated by Imam Ahmed in his Musnad that the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Verily, Gog and Magog dig
through the dam every day, till they could see the sun rays
(through it), their leader would say: 'Go back and you will
finish it tomorrow. ' On the next day, they find it as strong as
before. Till when their appointed term comes and Allah desires
to send them against mankind, they dig it till they could see
the sun rays (through it) and their leader says: 'Go back and
you will finish it tomorrow, if Allah wills!' On the next day,
they find it as they had left the day before and they dig
through it and come against mankind. They will drink (every drop
of water they pass by). The people will resort to strongholds.
And, Gog and Magog will throw their arrows towards the sky. When
they come back to them stained with what looks like blood, they
will say: 'we have defeated the people on earth and those in the
heaven as well.’ Then, Allah the Almighty sends against them
worms in their necks that kill them all. Allah's Messenger
(Peace be upon him) said: 'By Whom in Whose Hand Muhammed's soul
rests! Living creatures of the earth would go fat and be
thankful due to eating their flesh and (drinking their) blood.
", Imam Ahmed transmitted it also on the authority of Hasan Ibn
Musa after Sufyan after Qatadah. At-Tirmidhi transmitted the
same Hadith on the authority of Abu, Awanah after Qatadah, then
he said: it is a Strange Hadith that reached us from none but
this Chain of Transmission.
Glory Be To Allah
