Synopsis:
I began my study of Gog and Magog more than fifteen years ago in the early 90’s while resident in New York. My subsequent public lectures on the subject never failed to provoke keen interest from my Muslim audiences in several parts of the world. The evidence and arguments presented in the chapter on Gog and Magog in my book, ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ , succeeded in convincing many who read the book that we now live in a world dominated by Gog and Magog. They were easily convinced that the ‘town’ mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah al-Anbiyah’ (21:95-6) was Jerusalem and hence, that Gog and Magog (and Dajjal) explained the ominously unfolding ‘war on Islam’ with slaughter and destruction of Muslims in so many parts of the world. As a consequence, such readers also understood Israel’s mysterious imperial agenda, and many have been making efforts to extricate themselves and their families from the embrace of Gog and Magog – an embrace that will take 999 out of every 1000 of mankind into the hellfire.
Despite my best efforts, however, I failed miserably, again and again, to convince my learned peers, the scholars of Islam, that Gog and Magog were even released into the world. I earnestly hope and pray that this book might make a difference Insha’ Allah.
Excerpts from book

Understanding
We are witnessing destruction on a global scale. There is an urgent need to understand the nature of this destruction and to find out what we can do about it. Religious scholars are competing to deliver answer. The religion that delivers the most useful answer will prevail in the mind of those who honestly seek the truth.
Muslim scholars put Islam at a great disadvantage in this competition because they offer a solid alibi to the primary suspects of global destruction. The scholars say that Gog and Magog, a destructive force that is prophesied to spread everywhere, are still locked up behind barrier.
This belief makes Muslim looks like the foolish men whose house began crumbling down around him because termites filled up the walls. Still, this man goes to bed every night thanking Allah that the bug inspector has not found any termite infestation in the house.

Principle of Quran Semantics
To correctly understand the language of the Holy Quran, one need to remember that Allah('subhanahu wata'la), not the Arabs, designed and created the Arabic language. This is precisely why Allah can compose a text that no Arab can ever make the like of, not even a single short surah. |

Gog and Magog : A Destructive Nation
One would this that Dhul Qarnain would conquer the nation of Gog and Magog and punish them as he did with other unjust peoples. Instead, he agreed to convert the mountains into a barrier (Al Quran - Al-Kahf 18:95). This can only mean that he knew that it was Allah's will that the nation of Gog and Magog could not be vanquished by man, not even by a superpower like his (Dhul Qarnain) that possessed advanced technology. This means that Gog and magog are capable of becoming the sole superpower on earth. in Chapter four, Shaykh Hosein includes these properties of Gog and Magog in his deception of their profile. |

Large Gap in the Barrier was created before Islam
"Allah promised each of His prophets that a last prophet would come with a great final law (the Quran). in some scriptures (e.g, the Torah), this referred as "The Promise". The Promise that Dhul Qarnain refer to is Islam. A few decades before the birth of the Prophet of Islam (sallalahu 'alaihi wasallam), around 550 A.D., the Caspian Sea receded to expose a hilly coastal passage on the east of the Caucasus Mountains. Gog and Magog used this passage to invade Persia before Islam. Umar (radiallahu 'anhu), launched military campaigns against Gog and Magog through this passage. |

Profile of Gog and Magog
"At the beginning of surah al-Baqarah of the Quran, Allah depicts a group of people who collectively practice Fasad. He describes their false mission statement, their beliefs, their mode of operation (modus operandi), their organizational structure, and He even names their masterminds. As it turns out, these verses actually describe Gog and Magog and other Fasad groups that work for them. |

Gog and Magog Have returned the Children of Israel to "their City"
"...These condition suggested 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. |
