Shaykh Imran Hosein(http://www.imranhosein.org/) began his study of Gog and Magog more than fifteen years ago in the early 90âs while resident in New York. His subsequent public lectures on the subject never failed to provoke keen interest from the Muslim audiences in several parts of the world. The evidence and arguments presented in the chapter on Gog and Magog in my book, âJerusalem in the Qurâanâ(http://www.imranhosein.org/media/books/j_in_q.pdf), succeeded in convincing many who read the book that we now live in a world dominated by Gog and Magog. They were easily convinced that the âtownâ mentioned in the QurâÄn in SÅ«rah al-AnbiyÄhâ (21:95-6) was Jerusalem and hence, that Gog and Magog (and DajjÄl) explained the ominously unfolding âwar on Islamâ with slaughter and destruction of Muslims in so many parts of the world. As a consequence, such readers also understood Israelâs mysterious imperial agenda, and many have been making efforts to extricate themselves and their families from the embrace of Gog and Magog â an embrace that will take 999 out of every 1000 of mankind into the hellfire.
