Re: Gog and Magog
** my own views**, just occurred to me today while reading surah kahf, that perhaps yajooj majooj r not things of the past and neither is zulqarnain a king of the ancient times....
perhaps they r both to come in the future and what is narrated to us about them will take place in a future....
yajooj majooj will be released, will cause fasaad in the land, then a king called zulqarnain will block them by building a lead-enforced wall....
why i think so????
other place in the Quran it mentions that yajooj majooj will appear at the end of times and only after they r controlled will the qayamat come....
in surah kahf, it says exactly after mentioning that zulqarnain puts them behind a wall "On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another: the trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together. " (which is ofcourse the announcement of the coming of qayamat).....
wallahu aalam bissawab
