Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
They said, 'Dhu'l-Qarnayn! Gog and Magog are causing corrupti-
on in the land. Can we, therefore, pay tribute to you in return for
your constructing a barrier between us and them?' (Surat al-Kahf,
94)
The first is that this people is 'scarcely able to understand speech.' In
other words, they are a heedless people.
The second feature is that they cause corruption in the land. The
word 'land' here is used in the sense of the world, meaning the corruption
will be global. In order for corruption to emerge anywhere, it needs to
have a philosophical origin, a defect of belief. In order for such a system
of corruption to be able to take place across the world and affect the
whole planet, it is essential for a great heretical philosophical foundation
that will hold everyone under its sway to come about. Therefore, the
emergence of Gog and Magog and system of destruction they bring with
Gog and Magog are a people described in the
Qur'an as being opposed to Allah (surely Allah
is beyond that) and a bloodthirsty force. Such
corrupt movements have existed at all times;
however, the real corruption across the world
took place in the End Times with World Wars I
and II.
