Jerusalem In Quran; Chapter-10; Book by Sheikh Imran N. Hosein

Israel Palestine Conflict is almost a 100 years old and recent development is only a precursor of what was planned a long time ago. Sheikh Imran N. Hosein has written the Book "Jerusalem in Quran" some two decades ago and he stated that the book could not have been written until this era, since it is only over the past few years that the concealed plans of the Jews have come so clearly into view that few can doubt that there is a Jewish plan for world domination. Here is Chapter-10, for the readers of Bangbox Online, for the alternate opinion on the matter that is falsely spread by Zionist Jews dominated media.

JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

By Imran N. Hosein

PART ONE

Chapter 10

GOG AND MAGOG IN THE QUR’AN AND HADITH

“They said: "O Dhul-Qarnain! Gog and Magog (people) commit acts of corruption and

wickedness in (our) land. Can we pay you a tribute (payment) in order that you might erect a

barrier between us and them (so that we can be protected from them and their wickedness) ?”

(Qur’an, al-Kahf, 18:94)

Our teacher of blessed memory, Maulana Dr. Muhammad Fadlur Rahman Ansari

(ra), taught a very important lesson in connection with the pursuit of knowledge –

particularly when it pertains to the knowledge of Truth. He taught that the ‘part’ (of

knowledge) should never be studied apart from, or in isolation of, the ‘whole’ to which

it belongs. Secondly, he taught that the proper gathering of knowledge pertaining to a

subject of study requires that it should also be organized as a whole. But such is not

possible unless one locates the unitary principle that binds the parts together. He called

that unitary principle ‘the system of meaning’. It is that system of meaning that must

be discovered when we attempt to study the subject of Gog and Magog (Y’ajuj and

M’ajuj). Unless this method of study is adopted then the subject of Gog and Magog is

such that even the greatest of scholars can be misled.

The plain evidence that emerges from the Qur’an and from no less than eight

Ahadith of Sahih Bukhari indicates that the release of Gog and Magog occurred in the

lifetime of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam), long before the return of Jesus (‘alaihi

al-Salam).

There are only two references to Gog and Magog (Y’ajuj and M’ajuj) in the Qur’an.

Our first effort must therefore be to discover the principle of unity that links these two

Qur’anic references to Gog and Magog.

The first reference is in Surah al-Kahf and the second is in Surah, al-Anbiyah. Here

is the first reference:

“They said: O Dhul-Qarnain! Gog and Magog commit Fasad (corruption, awesome

oppression and wickedness) in the Land. May we render you tribute (i.e., can we pay

you something) in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them (so that

we can be protected from them)?”

(Qur’an, al-Kahf, 18:94)

The very first Qur’anic reference to Gog and Magog thus declares them to be

essentially agents of Fasad. The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam) explained that Gog

was a community of human beings who had descended from Adam (‘alaihi al-Salam).

Similar was the case with Magog. The Hadith complements the Qur’an to warn that

Allah Most High endowed these human communities comprised of agents of Fasad

with such power that they are, by worldly standards, invincible:

“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 Tur, and then Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm

down from every slope (or spread out in every direction).

The first of them will pass the Lake Tiberias (i.e, the Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Kinneret) and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: There was once water here. Jesus and his companions will then be besieged here (at Tur, and they will be so hard pressed) that the head of the ox will be dearer to them than one hundred dinars. Allah’s Apostle Jesus, and his companions, will

supplicate Allah, Who will send to them insects (which will attack their necks) and in the

morning they would perish as one single person. Allah’s Apostle Jesus and his companions

then come down to Earth and they will not find on Earth as much space as a single span that is

not filled with putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions will then

beseech Allah who will send birds whose necks would be like those of Bactrian camels and

they will carry them away and throw them where Allah wills.”

(Sahih Muslim)

Surah al-Kahf informs us that Dhul Qarnain built a barrier between the people and

these agents of Fasad. He used blocks of ‘iron’ and then sealed them with a coating of

‘molten copper’. He then declared of the barrier that it was Rahmah (an act of mercy)

from his Lord but that Allah Most High would Himself bring down the barrier and

release Gog and Magog at that time when the W’ad (warning) of his (Dhul Qarnain’s)

Lord was to come to pass:

“He said: This is a mercy from my Lord: but when the warning of my Lord

(concerning the Last Age) comes to pass He will make it into dust; and the promise of

My Lord is true.”

(Qur’an, al-Kahf, 98)

Which W’ad (warning) was he referring to? The answer is quite clearly revealed in

the famous Hadith in which the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam) narrated ten major

Signs of the Last Day. Among the ten was the release of Gog and Magog:

“Narrated Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari:

Allah’s Messenger came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He asked:

What are you discussing? (the Companions) said: We are discussing about the Last Hour.

Thereupon he said: It will not come until you see ten signs, and (in this connection) he made a

mention of ‘the smoke’, ‘Dajjal’, ‘the beast’, ‘the rising of the sun from the west’, ‘the descent

of Jesus son of Mary’, ‘Gog and Magog’, ‘landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the

west and one in Arabia’ at the end of which ‘fire would burn forth from Yemen and would

drive people to the place of their assembly’.”

(Sahih Muslim)

[The reader should kindly note that these signs are not recorded in the chronological sequence in which

they will occur.]

In other words, when the barrier was brought down and Gog and Magog were

released, that would be one of the major signs that mankind had entered into the Last

Age. The question is: How would we know when the barrier was brought down and

the release of Gog and Magog had commenced? Let us first examine the following …

Ahadith which answer that question and which are all taken from Sahih Bukhari. The

Hadith is narrated by different people with slightly different texts. In consequence the

Hadith is mutawatir and that makes it the strongest possible Hadith:

“Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said: A hole has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog. Wuhaib (the subnarrator)

made the number 90 (with his index finger and thumb).”

(Sahih Bukhari)

“Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh:

That 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 dam of Gog and Magog like this. The Prophet made a

circle with his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh added: I said: O Allah’s Apostle!

Shall we be destroyed though there will be righteous people among us? The Prophet said: Yes,

if the (number) of evil (persons) increased.”

(Sahih Bukhari)

The above Hadith is repeated elsewhere in Sahih Bukhari with slightly different texts.

“Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah’s Apostle performed the Tawaf (around the Ka’aba while riding his camel, and every

time he reached the corner (of the Black Stone) he pointed at it with his hand and said: ‘Allahu

Akbar.’ Zainab said: The Prophet said: ‘An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and

Magog like this and this ’ (forming the number 90 with his thumb and index finger).”

(Sahih Bukhari)

The various Ahadith of Sahih Bukhari that have come from four different sources,

Abu Hurairah, Zainab bint Jahsh, Umm Salama, and Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra), are quite

explicit in revealing that the release of Gog and Magog took place in the lifetime of the

Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam). Indeed he even declared that the release took place

“today”! Thus the Last Age, or the Age of Fitan, commenced in the lifetime of the

Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam). And this is the explanation of his famous statement

concerning his relationship with the ‘Last Hour’:

“Narrated Sahl bin Sad:

I saw Allah’s Messenger pointing with his index and middle fingers, saying: The time of my

Advent and the (Last) Hour are like these two fingers. The Great Catastrophe (i.e., the Age of

Fitan) will overwhelm everything.”

(Sahih Bukhari)

The Qur’an went on to provide believers with a momentous Sign by which they

would not only have concrete evidence of the release of Gog and Magog but, more

than that, they would have the evidence that the world was now in the control of Gog

and Magog. They would thus be able to identify Gog and Magog as the Ruling Power

in the world. This is located in the reference to Gog and Magog in Surah al-Anbiyah:

“But there is a ban on a City which We have destroyed: that they (the residents) shall

not return - until Gog and Magog are let through (their barrier) and they swiftly

swarm down from every height (or spread out in every direction).”

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:95-6)

When Gog and Magog have been released and, in addition, “have descended from

every height, or have spread out in every direction”, then at that time the people of the

Town who were punished by Allah Most High, and banished from their town or city

(which was destroyed by Allah, Most High), would now be brought back to that town

or city. There is only one such town or city (which was destroyed by Allah) which is

mentioned in the Ahadith pertaining to Gog and Magog. And it is Jerusalem.

The following Hadith makes mention of Gog and Magog passing by the Sea of

Galilee, which is in the Holy Land:

“Narrated al-Nawwas ibn Sam’an: ….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 Tur, and then Allah will send Gog

and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass the lake of

Tiberius (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 there …. ”

(Sahih Muslim)

When Gog and Magog pass by the Sea of Galilee they would proceed to Tur

(mountain) mentioned in another Hadith as a mountain in Jerusalem:

“Gog and Magog would walk until they reach the mountain of al-Khamr, and it is a mountain

of Bait al-Maqdis (i.e., Jerusalem)...”

(Sahih Muslim)

Since no other town or city (destroyed by Allah, Most High) other than Jerusalem is

mentioned in the Ahadith pertaining to Gog and Magog, we have come to the

conclusion that the town or city mentioned in Surah al-Anbiyah (verses 95 and 96)

above can only be Jerusalem.

From this conclusion and identification of the town or city now emerges the

implication that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, which has already happened,

is the dramatic and concrete evidence that the barrier has been brought down by Allah

Most High and that we live in the age of Gog and Magog, and we thus live in the Last

Age.

But the more important implication of the return of the Jews to the ‘city’ (Jerusalem)

and the establishment of the State of Israel is that Gog and Magog have now fulfilled

that stage of their mission referred to in Surah al-Anbiyah, 21:96, i.e., they have

descended from every height (or spread out in every direction) and have taken control

of the world. The world order which brings the Jews back to the Holy Land is that of

Gog and Magog! Who are they? Our method of study must be to look for a people

who display, in their obsessive relationship with the Jews and the Holy Land, a strange

difference in their behavior prior to the Holy Prophet (‘alaihi al-Salam) when compared

with their behavior after the time of the Prophet (‘alaihi al-Salam).

A strange European obsession with the Holy Land

When Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam) made Hijrah to the Holy Land, and Babylon, Persia ,

Egypt and China had great civilizations, and the Greek and Roman Empires had not as

yet emerged, Europe lived largely as ‘wild tribes’. There was little or no trade with the

rest of the civilized world... In consequence of this peculiar isolation the rest of the

world could not understand European languages, nor could Europe ever play any role

as an actor on the stage of the world. The Qur’an referred in Surah al-Kahf to this

unique European characteristic when Dhul Qarnain embarked on his third journey and

came upon a people whose language could not be understood (Surah al-Kahf, 18:93).

A strange and mysterious revolution overtook Europe. Pagan Greek and Roman

civilizations emerged and they immediately and strangely embarked upon the conquest

of as much of the rest of the world as could be conquered. Both Greek and Roman

European civilizations seemed to have a special interest in the Holy Land. Alexander

‘the Great’ conquered Jerusalem and evinced an interest in Judaism, and the Roman

Empire ruled over Jerusalem and the Holy Land up to the time of Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salam)

and even after that. Secondly, there was no abiding fidelity to their gods and goddesses

and to the pagan way of life… Rather pagan beliefs were eventually unceremoniously

discarded in the same strange way that they had been embraced centuries earlier.

Then a strange European embrace of Christianity for essentially political reasons

resulted in the emergence of the Euro-Christian Church with Rome as the center of a

new church. It was Christia nity that brought much of the remaining part of Europe out

of the ‘wild tribes’ stage of its history and united Europe as Christendom. The new

Christian church was so emphatic about its independence from the old Christianity that

it even appointed its own date for commemorating the birth anniversary of Jesus (‘alaihi

al-Salam). The new European Christmas was celebrated on December 25.

But Euro-Christianity differed significantly and mysteriously from the old orthodox

Christianity of Byzantium. As soon as the new Christian church had consolidated its

hold over Europe it proceeded to display an obsession for the Holy Land unmatched

by any other Christians. The Crusades were not just Christian, rather they were Euro-

Christian. They were launched one after another against the Muslims in a futile effort

to wrest control over the Holy Land. A short-lived European liberation of the Holy

Land was brought to an unceremonious end when Sultan Salahuddin defeated the

Christian crusaders and recovered Muslim control over the Holy Land.

What was most significant about the Crusades was that it was exclusively European.

Even though the European Crusaders had to pass through the territory of the Byzantine

Christians, non-European Christians did not join the Europeans and hence played no

part in the Crusades… This book poses the question: Why this strange Euro-Christian

obsession with the Holy Land?

Secondly, when the European Crusaders did succeed in wresting control over

Jerusalem from the Muslims for a brief period they perpetrated a bloodbath that was

ominously un-Christian. They slaughtered all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Not even

women and children were spared. The Christian world was horrified by the barbarism

and savagery of an ostensibly Christian European people who had embarked on a

religious and spiritual quest to liberate the Holy Land. It certainly appeared as though

the cloak of Christianity had been donned by Europe as an act of expediency and

convenience rather than as an act of faith. The Crusades revealed a frightful, ruthless,

godless, amoral face of Europe. It was more essentially godless than it was Christian,

and it was more constituted of ‘wild tribes’ than of civilized people… As time passed

by it also displayed an amazing capacity to conceal its true nature and to present itself

as the opposite of what it really was.

The attention that Muslims should have devoted to the study of this strange

European phenomenon was strangely and mysteriously diverted when the Mongol

invasions took place and a wild and savage people, who behaved no differently from

the Euro-Christians, terrorized the Muslim world...

It is precisely because attention was not directed to the study of this strange

emerging phenomenon in history that the world of Islam was unable to understand and

explain the even stranger, more mysterious and more inexplicable revolution that

transformed Europe from a medieval Christian civilization to an essentially godless

modern secular western civilization. That revolution also delivered to Europe a

scientific and industrial revolution and a Riba-based economic system that resulted in

godless Europe becoming more powerful than the rest of the world combined and

assuming the position of unchallenged and unchallengeable ruler of the world. In the

new Europe, Britain, an insignificant island located about one month’s journey by sea

from the Holy Land, defied all European power equations to emerge as the leader of

Europe and ruler of the world.

But the new essentially godless, ostensibly Christian, Europe displayed the same

strange obsession for the Holy Land that was displayed by the old Christian crusading

Europe. It proceeded to join hands with the essentially godless ostensibly Jewish

European Khazers in pursuing a continuing obsession with liberating the Holy Land.

These two European people have remained locked together in a mystifying unholy

embrace ever since.

It was the island of Britain that declared (in what is known as the Balfour

Declaration) in 1917 that it would work for the establishment of a Jewish National

Homeland in Palestine. Britain proceeded just two years later to liberate the Holy Land

from gentile (Muslim) rule. This occurred in 1917 when the British General, Allenby,

lead an army to victory over the Turkish army that defended Jerusalem and the Holy

Land. Where the old crusades, waged by an ostensibly Christian Europe, had failed,

the new crusade, waged by a godless Europe, succeeded. Both the efforts to liberate

Jerusalem and the Holy Land were European. Both were crusades. In fact General

Allenby himself confirmed this in his memorable declaration that he made when he

entered Jerusalem as a conquerer: “Today the crusades have ended”. And so it is clear

that the effort to liberate the Holy Land had nothing to do with religion. It had

everything to do with that strange new actor on the stage of the world, i.e., Europe!

Britain then assumed control over the Holy Land as the Mandate Power under the

cover of the League of Nations and proceeded to pursue the goal of establishing that

Jewish National Homeland. This book poses the question: why this strange Euroobsession

with the Holy Land by a Europe which had now embraced secularism and

materialism and was only nominally Christian?

If Europe’s embrace of Christianity was something strange, then Europe’s

embrace of Judaism was stranger still. It was sometime in the seventh century,

perhaps, that the Khazer tribes of Eastern Europe embraced Judaism. When they

became Jews they did so for essentially political reasons. Faith had no part to play in

their conversion. Even before they converted to Judaism the Euro-Khazers were

recognized to possess some mysterious power that permitted them to successfully and

effectively block the advance of Islam into Europe.

Like Euro-Christians, so too Euro-Jews differed significantly from the Israelite

Jews. Unlike Israelite Jews, Euro-Jews were obsessed about wresting control over the

Holy Land. It was Euro-Jews who eventually established the Zionist Movement and

pursued the same goal that Euro-Christians had pursued in the Crusades, i.e.,

the goal of liberating the Holy Land. This book poses the question: why this

strange Euro-Jewish obsession with the Holy Land?

Britain assisted the Zionist Movement in effecting the ‘return’ of the Jews to the

Holy Land, something finally accomplished after the creation of the State of Israel in

1948. When Britain, the midwife, delivered the baby ‘Israel’, the world witnessed

what appeared to be the restoration of ancient Israel which had been destroyed by

Allah Most High more than 2000 years previously.

After Britain had ruled the world for a few hundred years a strange and mysterious

change occurred in which a new superpower became the ruler of the world. The clear

evidence of that change was present in the First World War when US military

intervention saved Britain from defeat. It was even more evident in the Second World

War when an American General, Eisenhower, was chosen as Supreme Commander of

all Allied troops that fought in the Second World War…

Then in 1944, at Bretton Woods in Upstate New York, an international conference

was convened to establish a new inter-national monetary system. The British Sterling

pound that was universally recognized as the key currency in the world of artificial

paper money was displaced at Breton Woods by the US dollar. Similarly, London was

displaced by Washington as the center of the new international monetary system...

The new superpower strangely and mysteriously emerged out of the same European

civilization that had first fought the Crusades in an obsession with Jerusalem, and had

played the leading role in the establishment of a Jewish National Homeland in the

Holy Land. The new superpower continued where the old one left off in maintaining a

strange and intimate relation with the Holy Land and the State of Israel. Thus when the

State of Israel was declared to be independent in 1948, the first country in the world to

recognize the Jewish State was the United States of America.

The new superpower made it abundantly clear that it had displaced Britain as the

strategic partner of the Jewish State. Indeed, it proceeded to do so in a manner that

subjected Britain to public humiliation. An Egyptian revolution had taken place in

1952 and the Egyptian army displaced the monarchy as the new ruler of Egypt. In

1956 Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser replaced General Muhammad Naguib as Head of

State and Nasser promptly proceeded to give a spectacular display of his nationalist

credentials by nationalizing the Suez Canal. Israel perceived this as a strategic threat to

the Jewish State. Britain, on the other, felt her superpower status challenged.

In a joint operation that was conducted independently of USA, the British French

and Israeli governments launched a joint attack on Egypt and dislodged the Egyptian

army from Suez. US President Eisenhower responded by ordering the withdrawal of

the British, French and Israeli troops from Egyptian territory. Britain, the former

superpower, was forced to withdraw her troops and the British government of Anthony

Eden collapsed. Thereafter, and until the present, USA has been the patron par

excellence of the Jewish State. This book poses the question: why this strange Euro-

American obsession with the Holy Land?

If the European and American (including Euro-Christian and Euro-Jewish)

obsession with the Holy Land has been strange, the future appears to hold even

stranger things in store. Our view is that the world is about to witness the emergence

of the European State of Israel (i.e., an Israel which was created by the Euro-Zionist

Movement) as the super-power that would replace Britain and USA as the dominant

power in the world. Euro-Israel already possesses enough nuclear and thermo-nuclear

weapons to be ranked as a superpower. Its military technology is at par with the best in

the world. Finally, Euro-Jewish financiers and bankers have it within their power to

assume financial control of the world through the simple maneuver of causing the

collapse of the US dollar. When the US dollar goes down it would bring down the

entire world of paper money with it. This may be planned to synchronize with a

spectacular Euro-Israeli display of military power in an attack on the Palestinians as

well as neighboring Arab States. Israel will then successfully defy the rest of the world

in holding on to the fruits of its war and, in so doing, establish itself as the ruling

power in the world. When that occurs it would most certainly appear to the Israeli-

Jews (i.e., Banu Israil) that they would be experiencing the return of the golden age,

i.e., the age when Solomon’s Israel ruled the world.

Does the Qur’an explain all of the above, and if so, what is that explanation?

We wish to concede at the outset that it was not possible for a book such as this to

have been written before the return of the Jews to the Holy Land. And this appears to

be the first book of its kind to be written since that event took place. Consequently

when we use the Qur’an and Ahadith to explain the strange and mysterious events

described above our explanation will surely come as a surprise even to scholars of

Islam. It further appears to this writer that the Qur’anic explanation of all these strange

events in Europe, and in the Holy Land, is knowledge that perhaps did not exist in the

world before this time. Consequently it forces him, and all those who now accept as

‘truth’ what this book explains, as well as those who had already been blessed with

this knowledge, to bow down most humbly before Allah Most High Who alone has

“knowledge of all things”, and “Who guides to His light whomsoever He chooses.”

Those who would reject the Qur’anic explanation given in this book must

themselves declare either that the Qur’an does not explain the return of the Jews to the

Holy Land and the restoration of the State of Israel, or that there is a different

explanation other than the one given in this book, in which case they are obliged to

produce that other Qur’anic explanation!

Those who reject Islam and declare that they possess the Truth are challenged to use

that Truth to explain this subject. Whether the modern secular State makes the claim to

Truth, or whether it is made by Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism,

Confucianism, Taoism, Bahaism,… secular humanism and liberalism, materialism, or

atheism, that claim can only be validated if they can explain the subject here

addressed. That appears to be the greatest importance of this book. It validates the

Islamic claim to Truth!

The Qur’an proceeded to warn that the world would now witness the count down to

the Last Day:

“Then will the true warning (of the Day of Accounts) draw close (to fulfillment): then

behold! (on that day) the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: Ah! Woe

to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!”

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21-98)

When Gog and Magog are released they would ‘swarm down from every height’ or

‘spread out in every direction’. This indicates that with their invincible power they will

take control of the whole world and that, for the first time in history, one set of people

would rule all of mankind. That is the precise moment in history in which the world is

now located.

The world order of Gog and Magog would be one of Fasad (i.e., oppression and

wickedness). Surah al-Kahf has described the two defining characteristics of the Fasad

of that world order as being the opposite of the two defining characteristics of the

world order of Dhul Qarnain. They were as follows:

Dhul Qarnain used power (built on the foundations of faith in Allah) to punish the

oppressor and, in doing so, to establish a harmony between the world order here on

earth with the heavenly world order above (i.e., a harmony of temporal reality with

spiritual reality). Gog and Magog, on the other hand, would use their invincible power

(built on foundations of Godlessness) to oppress, and to punish the oppressed. In doing

so they establish here on earth a world order which would be in total conflict with the

heavenly order above. Secondly, that world order would be one that would witness

constantly increasing oppression.

Dhul Qarnain used power to reward those who had faith in Allah Most High and

whose conduct was righteous. Gog and Magog would use power for exactly the

opposite purpose.

Gog and Magog would thus create and sustain a world order that could not possibly

escape being recognized by those whose spiritual vision (built on faith and righteous

conduct) permitted them to see the reality of things. If the Jewish people allowed such

a people to become the champions who would liberate for them the Holy Land and

permit their return to Jerusalem, it would indicate that the Jewish people were

spiritually blind.

From the time of medieval Euro-Christendom to the age of modern western

civilization Europe has progressively displayed the characteristics of the world order

of Gog and Magog and has also fulfilled their basic mission. Europe has corrupted the

whole world and Europe it was which brought the Jews back to the Holy Land. It is

therefore an indication of the utter spiritual blindness of the Jewish people that they

allowed themselves to be deceived and led down the road to their final destruction by

Gog and Magog.

The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam) has provided for us a measure by which we

can monitor the countdown to the time of the final punishment of the Jews. Firstly, this

final punishment will not take place until Jesus, the true Messiah, kills Dajjal, the

False Messiah, and until Allah Most High Himself destroys Gog and Magog through

biological warfare. That moment cannot come while still there is water left in the Sea

of Galilee. Consider the following Hadith:

“Narrated al-Nawwas ibn Sam’an: ….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 Tur, and then Allah will send Gog

and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass the lake of

Tiberius (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 there. ..”

(Sahih Muslim)

It is therefore a matter of supreme importance that we direct attention to the water

level in the Sea of Galilee.
