GOG MAGOG: This is the English version of of my urdu book Yajuj Majuj (Fitna). I have written three books in Urdu (1) Yajuj Majuj (Fitna) (2) Yajuj Majuj (Yalghaar) (3) Qayamat (Mazhab Or Science). In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, there is a mention of a mysterious race of human beings called "Gog and Magog" (Yajuj and Majuj in Arabic). Several predictions have been made about which group of people this can be, however till date our understanding is far from being complete. I was told about the stories of Gog and Magog during my childhood by my mother and some other people. Since then, I have always been curious about their existence, their powers and why they have been specifically called out in.Gog and Magog are two nomadic and fierce nations or tribes who will attack on civilized nations near Qayyamat. From centuries Jews, Christians and Muslims are expecting Gog and Magog's (Yajuj Majuj) attack on civilized nations near the Qayamat (Doomsday). They are strange, mysterious and fierce nations who will attack on civilized nations before Qayamat (Doomsday). Their appearance and their location is mentioned in Torait (Torah), Bible and Holy Quran. I have described their location and appearance with the help of maps and pictures. For this topic help have been taken from Bible, Holy Quran and Ahadees e Nabvi (sayings of Holy prophet) and some other books and articles. In this book I have explained who are Gog Magog and what their location is. Who is Dhul Qarnayn?There is a mix opinion about Dhul Qarnayn, Some Muslim scholars thought that Dhul-Qarnayn may be Cyrus the Great instead of Alexander the Great. Some Muslim and other commentators have identified Dhul Qarnayn with Alexander the Great and some think that he was some other person. There are four persons in history who were thought to be Dhul Qarnayn. Alexander the great and Cyrus the great both have travelled in the direction of the east and the west to conquer different countries. They both have reached far east at that time and nearly the same stories and incidents are narrated about both of them that's why scholars are confused about them. Cyrus was the first person to conquer the vast land in the past and it appears that Alexander was impressed by Cyrus the great and he copied him. Alexander, which no doubt these same accounts existed in his time, himself consciously mimicked Dhul Qarnain, likewise traveling from the east to the west on a famous Journey, but he never reached the west coast of Africa and didn't go past India to the east. Cyrus was also mentioned in old Testament: "This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor." (Isaiah, 45:1)Location of The Wall:That wall was built between Derbent and Daryal, two cities of Dagistan in the Caucasus, the land that lies between the Black Sea and the Caspian. There are high mountains between the Black Sea and Daryal having deep gorges which cannot allow large armies to pass through them. Between Derbent and Dar'yal, however, there are no such mountains and the passes also are wide and passable. In ancient times savage hordes from the north invaded and ravaged southern lands through these passes and the Persian rulers who were scared of them had to build a strong wall, 50 miles long, 29 feet high and 10 feet wide, for fortification purposes, ruins of which can still be seen.Who are Gog and Magog?Muslim geographers identified them at first with Turkic tribes from Central Asia and later with the Mongols. Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2). The descendants of Magog settled to the far north of Israel, likely in Europe and northern Asia (Ezekiel 38:2). Magog seems to be used to refer to "northern barbarians" in general, but likely also has a connection to Magog the person. The people of Magog are described as skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:3-9). Gog is described as "....
