| The story of Gog and Maagog | |
| _Episode 3_ | |
| This Hadith denotes the numerousness of their numbers and that | |
| they are a hundred-fold the number of all mankind. Moreover, | |
| they are from among the offspring of Nuh (Noah (Peace be upon | |
| him)) in particular for Allah the Almighty informs us in His | |
| Glorious Qur'an that Nuh (Peace be upon him) invoked Him against | |
| the people of the earth saying: {And Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! | |
| Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!} (Nuh, 26) And, | |
| Allah the Almighty Himself says: {Then We saved him and those | |
| with him in the ship}. (Al-'Ankabut, 15) And, {And, his progeny, | |
| them We made the survivors}. (As-Saffat, 77) This is in addition | |
| to the Hadith transmitted in Imam Ahmed's Musnad and the Sunan | |
| of Abu Dawud that mentioned: that there were three sons born to | |
| Nuh (Peace be upon him): Shell, Ham and Japheth. Shem was the | |
| father of the Arabs; Ham was the father of the Sudan; and | |
| Japheth was the father of the Turk.7 Moreover, Gog and Magog are | |
| just a part of the Turk from among the Mangols who were stronger | |
| and spread mischief in the land. Some people claimed that Gog | |
| and Magog were created out of the semen of Adam (Peace be upon | |
| him) that mixed with the earth and thus they were not from Eve. | |
| But, this claim -which was held by Sheik Abu Zakariya An-Nawawi | |
| in his explanation of Sahih Muslim and by other scholars who | |
| declared it to be weak and strange -is too weak. As, there is | |
| not any proof on this and moreover, it contradicts the obvious | |
| text of the Glorious Qur'an -mentioned earlier -that all mankind | |
| of today are from the offspring of Nuh (Peace be upon him). In | |
| addition, some people claimed that they (Gog and Magog) are of | |
| different shapes and figures: some are as tall as palm-trees, | |
| some are too short, and some take one of their ears as a bed and | |
| the other as a cover or blanket. However, all these claims are | |
| groundless and cannot stand the slightest refutation. But, the | |
| correct view is that: they are from among the children of Adam | |
| (Peace be upon him) and that they bear the same qualities and | |
| shapes. Allah's Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Allah created | |
| Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to | |
| him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their | |
| reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the | |
| greeting (salutations of your offspring. " So, Adam said (to the | |
| angels), As- Salamu 'Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The | |
| angels said, "As-Salamu' Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i. e. Peace | |
| and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's | |
| salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lah.' Any person who | |
| will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and | |
| figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's | |
| creation." This Hadith blocks the way before those who falsely | |
| claim things that are groundless. | |
