The Mystery of Yajuj and Majuj Explained

1h 6m | Nov 11, 2026

Who are Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog), and how should Muslims understand the mysterious prophecies surrounding the End Times?


In this thought provoking Islamic lecture, Dr. Yasir Qadhi explores the Quranic descriptions of Yajuj and Majuj, authentic Hadith narrations, and the important question of whether Islamic prophecies should be interpreted literally or metaphorically.


As questions about the unseen, modern science, and the signs of Qiyamah continue to arise, understanding the methodology of mainstream Islamic scholarship becomes essential.


Discover why scholars emphasize careful interpretation, the importance of respecting authentic revelation, and the dangers of turning clear religious teachings into unsupported symbolic explanations.


This lecture also explores major signs of the Last Day, including Imam Mahdi, Dajjal, the return of Prophet Isa (AS), and the emergence of Yajuj and Majuj.
