The Hidden Tribes: The Story of Yajooj and Majooj Acording to Islam

In Islamic tradition, Yajooj and Majooj (Arabic: يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ), commonly known as Gog and Magog in English, are two exceptionally large, powerful, and destructive tribes of human beings. They are a major element in Islamic eschatology (the study of the end times) and are explicitly mentioned in both the Quran and authentic Hadiths.

Here is a summary of who they are according to Islamic teachings:

1. The Story of the Great Wall

According to Surah Al-Kahf in the Quran, Yajooj and Majooj were spreading great chaos and corruption on earth. A righteous and powerful ruler named Dhul-Qarnayn traveled to a region between two mountains where the local people begged him for help. To protect them, Dhul-Qarnayn constructed a massive, impenetrable barrier made of iron blocks and coated it with molten copper, effectively trapping the tribes behind it.
