What do you mean by "sub human subterranean species?

I voted for "impossible to know"

However, as brother Chuck said, they may be somewhere in himalayas, as that is quite a vast mountain range.

This topic rocks and it scares the daylights outa me.

I think if they (yajuj and Majuj) are here on earth at the mo, then probly in great wall of china - I mean there has to be SOMETHING in there. Although i don't know if that was built at the time of Dhul Qarnayn. If it wasn't, then hmm, maybe himalayas?

No they arent in teh great wall becuase i saw a documentry about it in class, and the only thing that is in there is the bodies of those who died when creating that wall. That wall was created i believe to keep the Huns from conquering China. As people were building it, many died due to exhaustion etc, and they were thrown into the wall and are part of the wall.

Also, i mean, you can see both sides of the wall clearly, there is nothing there.

interesting topic here
i dont think its possible to really find out the exact location of the tribes
and im pretty certain that its not inside the great wall of china
i read about chinese history and the purpose for the great wall being created was to avoid the opposition forces from entering china
that is wht i remember from history class
and as brother Ahmed mentioned, ppl who died working in the walls werent given burials
their corpse was placed in the wall so they made up a part of the wall

okay bak to topic

...
i suspect that the tribes are somewhere hidden on earth...somewhere the media doesnt reach....some place where there are no donut shops......some place where english isnt the core language....
wow its scary if u ask me

as salam alikum,

i rekon they're underground somewhere. From discriptions ive heard in talks and read in books, ive always imagined them to be underground...........

Because in my minds eye i can sort of imagine them digging and then they create a hole, which allows some sunlight in. Then they go to sleep with out saying inshallah in succeeding to escape and the hole is closed up.....


subhanallah allah knows best. Allah knows where they are and when they will emerge and if any of us live to this time, may allah save us from their fitna. ameen

:coolsis:

salam
honestly i cannot say where they are, allahu alam
wasalam

Assalamoalaikum....

very interesting topic i must say....

am not sure....but isnt it mentioned in the Quran that they're seperated by a wall..which they keep licking...or digging or something like that....and the day wen they'll say "inshaAllah we will complete this tomorrow"..will be the day they'll be set free..???.....wonder where that is....but i think i wud say..they're underground somewhere...Wallahu Aalam...

FiAmanillah...

salam
yes sis it is true about the wall and it does say in the quran
but am not totally sure where they are at the moment and only allah knows best
wasalam

loq, this a very old thread. Anyway, the important thing to remember is not where Yajuj and Majuj are, but what we are doing to prepare for the time when they will arise along with other signs of the Day of Judgement.

salam
yes bro that is true
may allah protect us and guide us
wasalam

mashaAllah very well sed bro!!

I can't say either, Allahu A3lam but I heard some people somewhere in Russia or that area

interesting read

Gog and Magog are two groups of Turks, descended from Yaafith (Japheth), the father of the Turks, one of the sons of Noah. At the time of Abraham (AS), there was a king called Dhoo'l-Qarnayn. He performed Tawaaf around the Ka'bah with Abraham (AS) when he first built it; he believed and followed him. Dhoo'l-Qarnayn was a good man and a great king; Allah gave him great power and he ruled the east and west. He held sway over all kings and countries, and travelled far and wide in both east and west. He travelled eastwards until he reached a pass between two mountains, through which people were coming out. They did not understand anything, because they were so isolated; they were Gog and Magog. They were spreading corruption through the earth, and harming the people, so the people sought help from Dhoo'l-Qarnayn. They asked him to build a barrier between them and Gog and Magog. He asked them to him to build it, so together they built a barrier by mixing iron, copper and tar.

Thus Dhoo'l-Qarnayn restrained Gog and Magog behind the barrier. They tried to penetrate the barrier, or to climb over it, but to no avail. They could not succeed because the barrier is so huge and smooth. They began to dig, and they have been digging for centuries; they will continue to do so until the time when Allah decrees that they come out. At that time the barrier will collapse, and Gog and Magog will rush out in all directions, spreading corruption, uprooting plants, killing people. When Jesus (AS) prays against them, Allah will send a kind of work in the napes of their necks, and they will be killed by it.

well here is a hadith we should know

-"Ibn Mas'ood reported that the Prophet (S) said, "On the night of the Israa' (night journey), I met my father Abraham, Moses and Jesus, and they discussed the Hour. The matter was referred first to Abraham, then to Moses, and both said, 'I have no knowledge of it'. Then it was referred to Jesus, who said, 'No one knows about its timing except Allah; what my Lord told me was that the Dajjaal will appear, and when he sees me he will begin to melt like lead. Allah will destroy him when he sees me. The Muslims will fight against the Kaafirs, and even the trees and rocks will say, "O Muslim, there is a Kaafir hiding beneath me - come and kill him!" Allah will destroy the Kaafirs, and the people will return to their lands. Then Gog and Magog will appear from all directions, eating and drinking everything they found. The people will complain to me, so I will pray to Allah and He will destroy them, so that the earth will be filled with their stench. Allah will send rain which will wash their bodies into the sea. My Lord has told me that when that happens, the HOUR WILL BE VERY CLOSE, LIKE A PREGNANT WOMAN WHOSE TIME IS DUE, BUT HER FAMILY DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN SHE WILL DELIVER."

[Ahmad, Musnad, 1/375. Similar Hadith in Ibn Maajah, Kitaab al-Fitan (hadith 4081), 2/1365, 1366]

so the dajjal has yet to appear and we are sure he isnt here

salaam
