Book:The Approach of Armageddon
Question:
Asalaamu Aleykum to you all
There are some Muslim “scholars” such as Imran Hosein who suggest that Yajuj Majuj have been released causing mayhem on earth, as we see everywhere. He goes further and suggests they were released from an area between 2 mountains in Armenia and consist mainly of Ashkenazi Jews or the ruling elite (Illuminati as they are called sometimes). What is the Ahle Sunnah opinion on this and if Yajuj Majuj are amongst us now? What does MSN (May Allah give him a long and healthy life) say on this subject?
Jazakallah and Asalaamu Aleykum

Shaykh Hisham Kabbani wrote on this subject in his book The Approach of Armageddon: an Islamic Perspective:
In the Holy Qur’?n, All?h swt has related:

{Until, when he reached (a place) between two mountains, he found, before them a people who scarcely understood a word. They said: O Dhul-Qarnayn! Gog and Magog are making great mischief on earth: shall we then render you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?’}
{He said: (The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute). Help me therefore with strength (and labor). I will erect a strong barrier between you and them. Bring me blocks of iron. At length, when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountainsides, He said, “Blow (with your bellows).” Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten copper. Thus (Gog and Magog ) were made powerless to scale it or to dig through it. He said: This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true.}
(Surat al-Kahf, 18:93-98)
The Prophet (s) said that there will come a time after `Is? (as) when there will be no more problems or hatred in the world. Then a tremendous enemy, Gog and Magog (Y?’j?j and M?’j?j), will come and spread everywhere on earth as mentioned in the verses above. Im?m Suy?t? described these people in his tafs?r ad-Durr al-manth?r. They have small eyes, and red or yellowish hair. Some have ears so large that they can use one ear as a mattress and the other ear like a blanket. They have hair on their bodies to protect them from extremes of temperature. Their height and width are equal. Some are the size of a man or smaller and of equal width. Some are one-hundred twenty arms-lengths in height and girth. Nothing can stand in front of them, neither man nor mountain. They will come from every direction and invade the earth.
…
The Prophet (s) mentioned that when Y?’j?j and M?’j?j appear they will descend on humanity. At that time Sayyidin? ‘Is? (as) will be gone, (or in some narrations he will still be present on earth), and the believers will flee to their homes to escape from Y?’j?j and M?’j?j. Their massive troops will come upon Lake Tiberias and drink it dry. Y?’j?j and M?’j?j are millions strong, moving together. After they have killed everything and drunk all the water there will be some Muslims hiding in their homes. Y?’j?j and M?’j?j will say, “We have finished with the people of the earth. Now we have to finish with the people of heaven.” Like Nimrod they will shoot at the heavens, and All?h I will make them see their arrows fall down bloodied. Then they will say, “We have finished the heavens.” Y?’j?j and M?’j?j will first finish with the Muslims then direct their attack to the heavens, directly against All?h swt.
While this will physically take place in the future, the ideological attack has already begun. Atheists are openly attacking religion, religious people, and even coming directly against All?h Almighty.

The Prophet (s) said that on the night of Isra’ and Mi`raj, he was sent as a messenger to Gog and Magog, “I called them to Islam and to All?h and they refused. They are going to be in Hellfire with those who disobeyed from the children of Adam (as) and the children of Satan (Ibl?s).”
