There is no doubt that Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj (Gog and Magog ) are two huge nations of the sons of Adam. Anyone who reads the story of Dhu'l-Qarnayn and how he dealt with this nation in Soorat al-Kahf will know for sure that they exist and that the barrier which was built is not metaphorical or imaginary, but is a physical barrier built of iron and melted copper. The basic principle is that we should take this Qur'anic text as it is, without resorting to any kind of misinterpretation or trying to twist the intended meaning. The Qur'aan has told us how the barrier was built and what materials were used, so it is not right to say that it is a metaphorical or imaginary barrier. In Soorat al-Kahf, Allah has told us the story of the Muslim king and the great leader Dhu'l-Qarnayn (may Allah have mercy on him):"Until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before (near) them, a people who scarcely understood a word. They said, 'O Dhu'l-Qarnayn! Verily! Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?'He said: 'That (wealth, authority and power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than your tribute). So help me with strength (of men), I will erect between you and them a barrier.Give me pieces (blocks) of iron,' then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain-cliffs, he said, 'Blow,' till when he had made it (red as) fire, he said, 'Bring me molten copper to pour over it.'So they [Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj] were made powerless to scale it or dig through it.(Dhu'l-Qarnayn) said: 'This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true.'"[al-Kahf 18:93-98]___________________ABOUT THE SPEAKER -Ashan Hanif was Born and raised in Birmingham, UK, he is well known in his community as the young Qari who memorised the Qur'an at the tender age of 13 and delivered regular halaqaat in Birmingham.In the year 2000, he gained a scholarship to enter the Islamic University of Madinah.
