The turn of each page their sight of each word brings closer the winds of Heaven never too young
never too old to learn to become one closer to Allah and join our one-on-one classes to
start learning the Quran today download Qutor start your free trial today we also have we
also have in Muslim Ahmed the the the phrase which is also in other books as well that
Allah (Azzawajal) will send Yajuj and Majuj they will descend from every single plane
of this Quranic verse and they will pass by Atabariya
and they will drink from Atabariya it's a massive lake we'll mention which one it is
in a while and by the time the last of them passes by there will be no water in the lake of Tabaria
and the last batch will say there used to be water over here and Isa and his followers will remain
trapped in a cave until the head of a lamb is more precious than a hundred Gold Coins as I mentioned
this also in Tirmidhi then they will make Dua to Allah to save them from Yajuj and Majuj
so Allah will send a disease against them Yajuj and Majuj would not be killed with the sword
Allah will send a disease against them that will attack their necks and they will die the death of
one person when one of them dies all of them die it is a simultaneous death the death of one person
these billions or millions or hundreds of millions of people they will die instantaneously the death
of one person the death of one person and then this man will come out the Hadith goes on the back
to the one that I mentioned the man will come out terrified scared he will find everybody is already
dead then Isa will come out they will find not a single space to stand except the bodies will
be rotting so Isa will make dua again so Allah will send birds with the necks of Baghdadi camels
the camels that have these u-shaped necks there will be birds like this
massive birds will come maybe played on abbil something like this they will take them and then
throw them wherever Allah (SWT) wills this is another narration yet another narration
yet another narration Yajuj and Majuj will conquer everybody in this earth they will kill
everyone pause here footnote who will they kill clearly not the followers of Isa so the remnants
of the army of the Dajjal anybody who fled and was not caught any human beings that have not embraced
Allah and believed in Isa at this point in time these will now be destroyed by Yajuj and Majuj
so Yajuj and Majuj will conquer the world and they will get to tur and poor is where Isa is
they will get to tur in one narration they will get to the Jabal of Kutz the mountain
of Kutz is this mount olives is this the mount that is in front of in that region they will be
and they will find nobody to conquer they've conquered everybody so one of them will say
we have conquered the inhabitants of this world let us conquer the inhabitants of the Heavens
so they will throw an arrow towards the Heavens and Allah will cause the arrow to come back full
of blood and under the narration they will wave their spears towards the heavens and Allah will
cause their spears to come back with blood and so they will say we have now conquered those in
the heavens then Isa will make the dua and then they will be destroyed now this lake tabariya
most of our commentators mention that this is the lake tiberius the lake tiberius and this is also
called by the Christians the famous sea of galilee the sea of galilee okay and to this
day it is called tabari by the Philistines and the Arabs of that region it is called the sea of
galilee and the sea of Galilee it is a massive massive lake it is a massive amount of water
it has fed the crops and the people for two three thousand years what group is
that in one generation that lake which has given mankind water for two three thousand years
will be gone think about that how much will this group drink how much will they I mean I have seen
nobody like many of you nobody many of you have been to the sea of Galilee if you go to that land
you see it you ca it's like a mini Ocean that's why it's called the sea of Galilee it's like a
mini Ocean even though it's not a sea technically but it looks like it it's massive you can barely
see I mean you can see but you can barely see the end this all water will be gone in one group
how think about this it's very strange how can it go but this is what the Hadith
says also what type of enemy is this that the people of Isa haven't even seen them
what type of enemy that they cannot physically even fight them I mean are they not humans we're
gonna come to this because they fought the Dajjal and his people and they were human what is going
on here that they are not even seeing them the man who's gonna go see them is thinking he's
gonna die just by looking at them he's already made up his mind I'm a Shaheed I'm going to die
he volunteers the death of a Shaheed like there's no way I'm going to be coming back
so we also have in a number of uh traditions as well what demonstrates their quantity is that the
Prophet (S.A.W) said that the Muslims will use the weapons and the armor of for Yajuj and Majuj many
years to come so they will get this stuff in one Hadith in Muslim he said the beasts of the earth
will grow fat and feed themselves for many years from Yajuj and Majuj so the corpses will be so
much that Yajuj and Majuj will fertilize the earth and from this fertilization there shall be
a time of great opulence in terms of food perhaps the most opulent type in the history of mankind
will take place where our Prophet (S.A.W) said one pomegranate one Roman will feed an entire tribe
and one leg of lamb will be enough for a large group of people in other words things are going
to change small quantities or maybe it's not small maybe the Roman will be a massive amount
maybe things are going to change and again we're going to come back to these
interpretations because either all cryptic phrases and perhaps we can rethink through them if only to
save the Iman of our young men and women who are rethinking through these things as well in Muslims
the Prophet (S.A.W) said when you see this happen Yajuj and Majuj when you see a Yajuj
and Majuj happen then expect the hour to come expect judgment day expect qiyamah just like
the pregnant lady at the end of her labor is just waiting for the cry and she surprises
the family when she goes into the pangs of labor in other words at that very end stage
right everybody's waiting waiting waiting when will the water break when will the pangs begin
and when it happens everybody goes into panic mode the process and gave this example when you see
Yajuj and Majuj this is the pregnant lady about to give birth nobody knows exactly when but it's on
alert oh husbands remember that time frame of your life huh 24-hour alert remember that that is what
the processor is talking about that those of you who are not married make Dua make it reasonable
that at that time frame you're just waiting when is it going to happen you're anxious was it
so the process is giving a metaphor that every family knows this that time frame is tense you
don't know you're expecting so the Prophet (S.A.W) said when you see Yajuj and Majuj that's the time
frame just like that pregnant lady will be given birth at that time now uh what do our
classical Scholars say about so firstly is the term Arabic or is it Non-Arabic our scholars
some of them said that the term is Arabic and it comes from adja adjaya so adja means
to kindle fire aja means when the fire spurns outwards however in my humble opinion it is
not sound to read in Arabic meanings to proper nouns that are found in the Quran and Sunnah
because Arabic is a language that has come you know and the time of our process had reached
his pinnacle but it wasn't around 10 000 years ago it was another language back then if you know the
study of linguistics you know language languages evolve languages are things that are fluid
language never stays the same it is something that comes and goes and all languages are
interconnected and the great family of languages and you have these you know um language bundles if
you like the afro-asiatic language the semetic and hebrew languages the romance languages you have
these language bundles that are all interconnected and interesting in a footnote here they all go
back to one language there is the mother of all languages and why are we talking about languages
that's right get back to Yajuj and Majuj so they say that Yajuj and Majuj goes to Arabic and I say
I'm not buying it it's a classical noun it has very little to do with with Arabic as well the
term Yajuj and Majuj is found in Pre-Islamic literature Gog and Magog it is found it is
Pre-Islamic Gog and Magog and it is mentioned in the old testament Gog and Magog and in the new
testament the book of revelations mentions the god the release of Gog and Magog that Gog and Magog
are going to gather for the battle so this is in the book of revelations and this predates Islam
so there's references to Gog and Magog that they're going to gather for the for the great
battle as well so the old testament mentions Gog and Magog the new testament mentions Gog and Magog
and the midrash mentions Gog and Magog what is the midrash the midrash is like the Tafsir literature
for the Jews the midrash is the commentary on the Torah and it consists of legends and fables
that go back many many centuries before Islam you have the bablonian midrash you have
other midrash so the midrash is Pre-Islamic Jewish exegesis it is tafsir literature that is ancient
it's not the Torah it is the commentary of the Torah that the ancient sages the rabbis the the
the ulama of the past they commented on and in the midrash you find some very very interesting
literature which is not the time to go into but there are parallels with the Quran and Sunnah
which you can anyway let's not go down there so where are we so uh midrash the midrash
mentions Gog and Magog what does the midrash say the midrash says that there will be a forerunner
to the messiah we talked about the concept of messiah in Judaism remember you guys remember
right and moses maimonides put belief in the messiah as a part of his 13 points of is it
the 11th of the 12th point we're going to believe in the messiah a day will come when the messiah
will come it is a part of Jewish literature what I didn't tell you in that class two weeks ago
because it's not related but now I should have mentioned it in hindsight they actually or some
segments of Judaism believe in two types of messiah the minor messiah and major messiah
now that we're talking about Gog and Magog have to bring this up so
they say that there will be a forerunner to the real messiah and this forerunner will defeat
Israel's enemies when they say Israel they don't mean the country they mean Bani Israel remember
this right when the midrash says Israel they mean Muslims Jews from their perspective you understand
they don't mean the country so they say that this Jewish messianic precursor the minor messiah will
defeat Israel's enemies Gog and Magog and then the real messiah will come and then judgment will take
place and then the righteous will be rewarded meaning with Jannah if that's their reward now
