I have, in the previous articles discussed about YajujMajuj (Gog and Magog)
and their existence. You can refer to that article for background and history.
The most important thing now is to know where exactly Yajuj Majuj (Gog
and Magog) are located on this earth? There are many theories and concepts
regarding the location. Some people believe that YajujMajuj (Gog and
Magog) were not actually imprisoned by Zulqurnain A.S instead the wall
which is mentioned in Quran built by Zulqurnain was merely the wall of
Allahs will which stopped them from invading the world. I have tried to
answer the question raised in the title of the article.

Where YajujMajuj (Gog and Magog) are located in this World?

1. The Great Wall of China: They are thousands in number and may be
Mongols or Chinese. It is said that when other powerful nations will
come to an end, Chinese will rise and invade the whole world, eating
humans. Thus the expected location by some of the Kings in previous
times was stated to be The Great Wall of China, built by the Chinese
King Fagfor, almost about 3460 years after Prophet Adam was born.
But we have heard that according to Islam that particular wall is on
eastern side of the world but Great Chinese Wall is on north.

2. North Pole or South Pole: There are various concepts with respect
to Ahadees. It was said there is a metal wall behind which Gog Magog
are trapped and they try to dig hole in it every day but fail to complete
it. This indicates that the wall might be covered with dirt, snow or
sand. Corrosion is metals property called oxidation. Cold temperatures
associated with high altitudes or snowy environment stops oxidation.
Many years have passed but YajujMajuj (Gog and Magog) didnt invade
the world means the wall is stills strong enough, from which it is
extracted that it is some region where there is snow the whole year. It
can be said that it is somewhere in the North Pole and South Pole
where latest technology fails.
3. Under the Surface of Earth: It is said that they have red hairs and
small eyes which indicates, they might be underground, as people
living in caves or less exposure to sunlight tend to have such
appearance. The metal gate might be entrance of an underground
cave.
4. Siberia or Himalaya: Scholars and historians are still doing research
and studies over the location of Gog Magog. Some also say that the
wall is not imaginary but real found to be in Siberia. Some say
Himalayas might be the correct location. Some suggest that they live
in northern areas of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.
5. Caspian Sea : On the other hand, it is concluded by some modern
scholars that the two Barrier Mountains are the Caucasus mountain
range, the eastern and western sections of which is separated by a
narrow pass called the Daryal Gorge. This Caucasus mountain range
spreads its origin in the west from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea in
the east.
6. Mongolia and Russia: Some historians even gave maps locating the
expected location of YajujMajuj (Gog and Magog) which somewhere
denotes it to be between Mongolia and Russia or somewhere near
Georgia bordering turkey.
7. Bukhara and Tirmidh: A scholar summed that the wall is in central
Asia near Bukhara and Tirmidh and the place is called Derbent.
8. Bermuda Triangle: To sum up it all up in the end I would like to say
that the exact location is not known or proved by any one and it
remains a mystery. What I think is that the location might be related
somehow to the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. All these are just
human interpretations and only Allah
the Almighty knows the truth.

In my previous column I mentioned the information available in Surah Kahf about

Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS). I would now like to go into greater detail about the
invaluable book written by the Saudi scholar, Mr Hamdi bin Hamza al-Suraiseri
Al-Johani. The book contains more than 500 pages with useful drawings and
photos, and the information given would require many columns to discuss fully. I
am therefore limiting myself to the essentials.
History tells us that about 3,400 years ago (1392 BC) a child was born in the
grand palace of the Pharaoh on the banks of the Nile. The father was the most
powerful Pharaoh, Amunhotep III the same Pharaoh who wanted to murder
Hazrat Musa (AS) and was drowned by the Almighty when he was chasing Musa
(AS) and his followers. The prince was named Amunhotep IV, but he changed his
name to Akhenaten after becoming king (Pharaoh) in 1360 BC. Allah had given
him the status of Prophet in 1362 BC and he was quietly following Wehdaniat
(monotheism). Once he felt powerful enough he publicly announced his belief.
His mother, Tiye, also believed in one God. After some time Akhenaten built a
new city, Akhetaton, in the centre of Egypt and forbade the worship of idols.
According to the Holy Quran, Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS), the name Akhenaten is
known by in the Quran, was a nice, religious person and Allah had sent him as a
messenger to his people, the Egyptians.
Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) lived in Akhetaton for about 12 years and then suddenly
he, his mother and all the inhabitants disappeared. This remains one of the
greatest secrets of Egyptian history. From 1342 BC on, Egyptian history opens a
new chapter.
In about 615 AD, Allah sent revelationsto our Holy Prophet (PBUH) with Surah
Kahf. Following Allahs command, Zulqarnain and his family and followers left
Egypt to visit the places of sunset and sunrise and to build the rampart between
two cliffs in China to protect the inhabitants from the attacks of the cruel Mongols
-the Horse People (discussed in3Part I). The Holy Quran has not given any

further information about Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS), his mother and his followers
after the building of this rampart and the rest remains secrets of Egyptian and
Chinese history.
Mr Hamdi bin Hamza carried out extensive research and found that Yajouj and
Majouj consist of a sentence of six words in Chinese meaning inhabitants of the
Asia continent and inhabitants of the horse continent. In Chinese, Yajouj is
known as Yajouren and Majouj as Majouren. The author travelled extensively
throughout China, meeting many Chinese historians. He convincingly postulates
that when Musa (AS) and the Pharaoh were arguing about Allah Almighty,
Pharaohs son AkhenatenAkhenaton (Zulqarnain) interceded and tried to convince
his father and other people to believe what Musa (AS) was saying. None other
than a very important and influential person could intercede in such a discussion.
Hence, it must have been the son of the Pharaoh. History or the Quran do not
mention the departure or migration of Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS). It was most
probably on the command of Allah that he migrated to preach that there was only
one God, the All-Mighty, All-Powerful and All-Knowing.
The Quran says that Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) first went to the place where the sun
sets. The author has given convincing arguments that this place is the Maldives
Islands where there are hot sea currents. Anthropologists have also confirmed that
it was around 3,400 years ago that the first humans came to the Maldives. This
would coincide with the time when Zulqarnain (AS) reached there.
According to the Quran, Zulqarnain and his party then left for the place where the
sun rises. The authors research convinced him that this was the Kiribati Islands in
the Pacific, thousands of kilometres east of Australia. There he found the Sun
Rise Hotel where, on Jan 1, 2000, representatives from international agencies
and many tourists had gathered to see the first rays of the sun rising on the new
millennium. These islands are now known as the Republic of Kiribati, with a
population of 100,000. Unfortunately, the inhabitants are very poor. I wish one of
the rich Arab countries would fix a yearly donation to these poor people. We
know that both the Maldives and the Kiribati Islands lie on the Equator where
sunrise and sunset times are more or less constant.
Mr Hamdi bin Hamza also visited the city of Zhenzhou in Henan County, China,
where he found a rampart forming a barrier between two steep mountains. It was
seven km long, 36 meters wide at the base, nine meters wide at the top and nine
meters high. Chinese historians mention it as being the First Great Wall.

When Zulqarnain (AS) reached Zhenzhou city (now a very important industrial
centre), the people there asked him to build a barrier between the mountains to
keep out the marauding Horse People (Mongols). For this they were willing to
make payment in goods. Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) politely refused to accept any
compensation, saying that the Almighty had provided him with enough resources
and manpower and that they should supply only the materials required. This
consisted of steel pieces (probably slag and pig iron). This he used to fill up the
space between the two mountains. He then asked them to heat the whole until it is
red hot (probably using coal which is found abundantly in the area). When it was
red hot, Zulqarnain (AS) asked them to bring earth (probably rich in metallic ore),
which was then poured onto the red hot iron, turning the whole into a compact,
solid mass.
Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) and his people were called Chu People by the Chinese,
meaning alien or outsider. Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) was accepted as their leader
and established a kingdom there. After about 200 years this became known as the
Chu Dynasty and it lasted for almost 800 years.
Mr Hamdi bin Hamza believes that Hazrat Zulqarnain (AS) and his mother and
companions are buried in or near Zhenzhou city and he hopes that some day
archaeologists will find their graves in the same way as those being found in
Egypt 5,000 years after their burial.
May Allah Almighty shower His blessings on Mr Hamdi bin Hamza Al-Suraiseri
Al-Johani and his family for this excellent, noble work. Ameen.

Candid site for Gog-Magog barrier

Criteria, coming from Ayat of the grand Quran Karim, were the following assumptions:
1- The route (and the passage) should be very strategic.
2- The area should be extremely mountainous. 5

3- The passage should be impassible by construction of a simple medium size barrier,

considering the technology of ancient times.
4- I have to be able to provide evidence at least regarding the remnants of the old structure.
5- Finally, it should not disregard the area of concern of which Bible has mentioned, due to
cross-referencing of the word in Quran karim and Bible.
Here are my findings. Please be informed that I am sharing this based on my best knowledge and
I do not insist, what I have found is 100% defend-able. Allah only knows best.
Location info for Google earth users (browse in 3D):
Lat: 4246'58.09"N
Long: 4437'31.03"E
Name: Daryl Gorge, Georgia
Wikipedia Description:From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darial_Gorge
Darial was historically important as the only available passage across the Caucasus and has been
long fortified at least since 150 BC. Ruins of an ancient fortress are still visible. The
Russian fort, Darial, which guarded this section of the Georgian Military Road, was built at the
northern end of the gorge, at an altitude of 1447 m (4746 ft).

A tourist video shows how parts of passage narrows in a way to construct medium size barriers.

11)As my first post, I just wanted to share with you the result of my search for the possible
barrier of Gog and Magog.
My criteria, coming from Ayat of the grand Quran Karim, were the following assumptions:
1- The route (and the passage) should be very strategic.
2- The area should be extremely mountainous.
3- The passage should be impassible by construction of a simple medium size barrier,
considering the technology of ancient times.
4- I have to be able to provide evidence at least regarding the remnants of the old structure.
5- Finally, it should not disregard the area of concern of which Bible has mentioned, due to
cross-referencing of the word in Quran karim and Bible
i've located several barriers which fit, and still exist... none of which are referenced by the
classical commentators.
The study of Surah al Kahf, ayahs 83-99 has been a long one for me (7 years at least) and so, I
will present just one barrier location which fits with
6 your criteria above (there are many that fit

but I am saving these for my video series)

As for your claim of the darial gorge pass - the caucuses have 4 passes running through them,
and at no point in history were all 4 blocked at any one time together - further, tribes from the
north would often reach the southern lands via boat, avoiding the caucuses altogether, so by that
standard, your citing of the darial gorge fails to satisfy your own criteria.
Now, for the location I promised:

I find it ultimately interesting that the length/height of the barrier from its clearly defined left
side matches almost perfectly to the measurement from the seemingly highest to lowest point...
what is further of interest to me is the fact that the foot of the barrier is narrower than the top of
it, as this also attests to the idea of the barrier being built between two cliffs opened at the top
like sea shells (As Saddafain)
