Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a Descendant of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

Other verses in which Gog and Magog are described read:
He said, 'The power my Lord has granted me is better than that.
Just give me a strong helping hand and I will build a solid barri-
er between you and them. (Surat al-Kahf, 95)
Bring me ingots of iron!' Then, when he had made it level betwe-
en the two high mountain-sides, he said, 'Blow!' and when he had
made it a red hot fire, he said, 'Bring me molten brass to pour over

When Gog and Magog are let loose and rush down from every
slope. (Surat Al-Anbiya', 96)
The verses refer to intensive use of iron and brass. Large quantities
of iron and brass were used in World Wars I and II. Tanks, vehicles, mo-
torcycles and planes were made using huge amounts of iron and brass.
This is in complete agreement with the verses.
The verses also refer to two high mountain sides. This may be a ref-
erence to the defensive lines that sprang up in the two World Wars. Great
defensive lines, such as the French and German lines, were built in World
War I in particular. Huge, solid fortifications, equipped with tanks and
that could only be entered through tunnels, were constructed to defend
their borders. The aim was to prevent any attack from the outside and to
neutralize the enemy.
As revealed in the verse, one of the distinguishing features of Gog
and Magog is that they rush down from the slopes. Indeed, countless
armies descended from the hills in the World Wars, and the armies of
many countries penetrated right inside the cities and attacked millions of
innocent people.
In the light of such portents as the whole world being influenced on
the basis of a heretical philosophy, a climate of corruption and strife be-
ing built on the basis of the bloody ideologies of communism and fascism,
