Who are the People of Gog and Magog
-
Hence, it has been unfailingly true of any community whom We have ever destroyed that they would never turn back until such a time as Gog and Magog are let loose and swarm down from every corner ,
2196They said "O thou Two-Horned One! Behold, Gog and Magog are spoiling this land. May we, then pay unto thee a tribute on the understanding that thou wilt erect a barrier between us and them?"
1894Are they some apocalyptic horde that we'll see before the Day? Why are they then mentioned in the present tense? Is it a meaning lost in translation or is it that no one really has a clue?

Peace be upon you,
WHat do the words "Zul" and "Quarnain" mean?
-
Peace brother Layth,
They are not a people, but two gushing waterways which used to create havoc. Zul-Qarnain shored them up with an iron dam.
Not waterways, but lava flows. Remember they erupt from high places (7adb). Water erupts from low places not from high places. See your article where you mention volcanoes and pole reversal
http//www.free-minds.org/articles/history/2012.htm
Perhaps a pole reversal may cause a magnetic iron gate to open.
This is all of course very uncertain and we could be completely wrong but nevertheless it is better than any existing explanation out there and is in line with the smoke event.
Peace,
Ayman

I disagree with any reference to the Bible when discussing the Qur'an frankly because it's too corrupt to differentiate between truth and falsehood.
Considering gog and magog was originally a biblical idea, I would have thought that it would hold some importance. Is there any indication in the Quran that gog and magog are water ways?
