AN ISLAMIC VIEW OF GOG AND MAGOG IN THE MODERN WORLD

Here’s a summary of the book “An Islamic View of Gog and Magog in the Modern World” by Imran N. Hosein:

This book delves into the Islamic eschatological perspective on Gog and Magog (Ya’juj and Ma’juj), linking their emergence and activities to current global events. Imran Hosein interprets Qur’anic verses and Hadiths to argue that Gog and Magog represent major global powers engaging in widespread corruption and oppression, particularly those influencing the political and economic structures of the modern world.

He emphasizes that the barrier built by Dhul-Qarnayn to contain Gog and Magog has been removed, which signifies their release and the beginning of their global dominance. The author connects this release to the rise of Western imperialism, Zionism, and modern secular governance systems. Hosein suggests that the state of Israel plays a central role in the end-time events related to Gog and Magog, and he warns Muslims against aligning with these corrupt global systems.

The book is a call to re-examine Islamic teachings in light of current affairs and urges Muslims to prepare spiritually and intellectually for the challenges posed by the end times.
