Are Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) really billions of creatures hiding behind a wall? Is this what the Qur’an and Sunnah actually teach—or has Islamic tradition been influenced by ancient folklore and historical confusion?

In this groundbreaking video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi separates truth from legend in one of Islam’s most mysterious and misunderstood topics: Yajuj and Majuj.

The story begins in 842 CE, when the Abbasid Caliph al-Wathiq Billah had a dream that the wall of Dhul-Qarnayn — built to imprison Yajuj and Majuj — had been breached. Disturbed by this vision, he commissioned an expedition to find the wall and verify its status. The man chosen was Salam al-Tarjuman, a polyglot traveler with rare linguistic talents. After a years-long journey, Salam claimed to have found the wall intact and even brought back a piece of it.

This story, recorded by Ibn Khordadbeh and cited by historians like al-Idrisi, al-Biruni, and Ibn al-Jawzi, has heavily influenced Muslim thinking for centuries. But are these reports truly Islamic — or based on outdated geographical assumptions, cultural legends, and confusion with Chinese fortresses like the Jade Gate?

📌 Dr. Qadhi breaks down:

What the Qur’an actually says about Yajuj & Majuj

Why the hadith about them digging daily is weak

How early Muslim scholars were influenced by Greek geography

The historical expedition of Salam al-Tarjuman

What Islamic belief does and does not require you to believe

This lecture invites Muslims to reflect deeply and critically, grounding their understanding in the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah — not folklore or outdated assumptions.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, "Are billions of Yajuj and Majuj trapped underground?" — this is the video you’ve been waiting for.
