of the Last Day’, allows a

believer to so penetrate reality to be capable of responding

appropriately to many other unique and mysterious events
unfolding in this strange age. That grasp of reality would explain:
Contemporary globalization in which all of mankind is
being absorbed into one essentially godless and decadent
global society;
The emergence of world government and a universal
political dictatorship which makes a mockery of state
sovereignty;
An interconnected global usury-based economy that
spawns unprecedented permanent global poverty and
unheard of permanent wealth;
A bogus and fraudulent international monetary system of
non-redeemable paper currencies which makes it possible
for some to fraudulently enrich themselves at the expense
of others when they thus create wealth out of nothing. In
addition, when currencies lose their (fictitious) value they
cause the loss of the many to become the gain of the few;
The imminent establishment of a new international
monetary system of one global cashless electronic
currency, controlled by a universal centrally-controlled
banking system subservient to the State of Israel;
44
A feminist revolution transforming the ‘night’
(symbolizing the female) into ‘day’ and in the process
causing the disintegration of the family;
Mega sporting and entertainment extravaganzas such as
Olympic Games, World Cup football and cricket, Miss
World and Miss Universe beauty contests and US
Presidential elections that function as brilliantly conceived
and designed distractions which effectively detract
attention from the ominous reality of the modern age; and
Television (including Islamic cable) that distorts reality and
brainwashes those who uncritically absorb lies and in the
case of Islamic cable television it’s 5% of skillfully
delivered poison, etc.
In fact this subject provides compelling evidence which
permits the reader to distinguish true religion from false, as well as
to expose false sects within the true religion. Common to all fase
religions and sects are their incapacity to accurately explain the
reality of constantly unfolding mysterious events described above
and elsewhere in this chapter.
Can all of these events be occurring by accident? If not, what
is it that explains them? We argue that only the subject of ‘Signs of
the Last Day in the Modern Age’ can explain these mysterious
events, and we have offered a basic explanation in ‘Jerusalem in
the Qur’ā n’. Allah Most High declared that He had placed a ban on
a town which He had destroyed, that the people of that town could
never return to reclaim that town as their own until Gog and
Magog were released and had spread out in every direction
(Qur’ā n, al-Anbiyā h’, 21:95-6). Basic to our interpretation of ‘Signs
of the Last Day in the Modern Age’ is our identification of that
45
town to be ‘Jerusalem’. (See chapter two on methodology for an
important explanation of the method through which we interpret and
explain certain verses of the Qur’ā n.)
The reality of the modern age is that Dajjā l the false Messiah
or Anti-Christ is now close to the culmination of his mission on
earth of impersonation of the true Mesiah. Jews have already
returned to Jerusalem to reclaim it as their own. An impostor State
of Israel has already been successfully installed in that Holy Land
and it has already grown from strength to strength (protected by
countless US vetoes in the Gog and Magog-controlled UN Security
Council) to the extent that it will soon replace USA as the rulingstate
in the world. A “young”, “well-built”, “curly-haired” ruler of
Israel will soon declare that he is the Messiah. In fact he would be
Dajjā l the false Messiah or Anti-Christ and he could never have
progressed this far in his mission without using Gog and Magog as
his foot-soldiers.
It is this basic thesis in this writer’s interpretation and
explanation of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’ that
must be tested for its validity and not some peripherally important
comment made years ago. Islam is truth. Truth must explain
reality. Hence the gentle reader should not be surpised when we
return again and again in this chapter and book to this central
theme concerning Israel. We do so to impress upon the reader that
authentic scholarship would not cling obstinately to theory which
repeatedly fails to explain that ominously evolving reality.
An unusual scholarly silence, as well as the poor quality of
many of the books on the subject produced in the modern age, has
raised legitimate suspicions. Dr Tammam Adi, the Qur’ā n
46
semanticist, for example, has directed special attention to Gog and
Magog while commenting on the subject in correspondence with
this writer. He is of the view that there was a deliberate corruption
of data in order to obstruct proper interpretation and understanding
of the subject:
“I think you will agree that Islamic literature, including
tafseers and hadith commentaries, has been thoroughly
influenced and censored to omit or twist any mention of the
fact that Gog and Magog were unleashed during the life of the
blessed Prophet.”
Dr Adi went on in the Introduction to this book to comment:
“On the other hand, tafseer errors and omissions on the subject
of Gog and Magog are so pervasive that we can no longer find
a tafseer that discusses even the remote possibility that they
may have been released. To find out what the Qur’ā n really
says about Gog and Magog, one is better off starting from
scratch.”
This book directs attention to the true Messiah, Jesus the son
of Mary (may Allah Most Kind bless them both) and to his miraculous
return as prophesied by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa
sallam) as the ‘Sign of all Signs’ of the Last Hour (Qur’ā n, al-
Zukhruf, 43:61). It is by far the most important event remaining to
occur in history and is now so close that children now at school
should live to witness it.
Prophet Muhammad’s (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) Ahadīth on the
sbject indicate that before the true Messiah can return, Dajjā l the
false Messiah must first be released into the world and must then
complete his mission of impersonation of the true Messiah. As a
47
logical consequence, Dajjā l would have to attempt to rule the
world from Jerusalem (from an impostor State of Israel) and to
then declare “I am the Messiah”. Only at that time, and not before,
can Jesus the true Messiah return to this world to confront, expose
and destroy Dajjā l. Only then can he pray to Allah, as prophesied
by Prophet Muhammad, to bring an end to the evil world-order of
Y’ajū j (i.e. Gog) and M’ajū j (i.e. Magog).
It is this system of meaning which allows us to recognise
Dajjā l as the mastermind who brought this Gog and Magog worldorder
into being to function as the basic instrument for achieving
his rule over the world. Dajjā l launched his attacks medieval
European Crusades quite some time ago to eventually gain control
over the Holy Land, restore a State of Israel in that Holy Land, and
establish Pax Judaica i.e. a universal messianic Israeli dictatorship
over all of mankind. He could not do this without destroying the
Islamic Caliphate (Khilā fah). He has been using his people (i.e.
Gog and Magog) from the very commencement of his mission to
fight his battles for him. . (Cf. ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’ā n’ and ‘Sū rah
al-Kahf and the Modern Age’, www.imranhosein.org)
We have previously explained in ‘Sū rah al-Kahf and the
Modern Age’ that this Sū rah holds the key to the Qur’anic
explanation of the ‘Signs of the Last Hour’. The blessed Prophet
asked believers to recite the first ten verses of the Sū rah for
protection from the tests and trials (Fitnah) of Dajjā l the false
Messiah, and it was in this Sū rah that the Qur’ā n first introduced
and explained the subject of Gog and Magog.
