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 |
