| Summary: | Thewords Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj/Gog and Magog appearin the Qur’an, Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Although this group isgenerally understood to be a single structure in the Islamic tradition, it isclear that the roles of Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj/Gog and Magog aredifferent. When we look at the form of the words Yaʾjūj/Gog, we see that theyare in active form while the words Maʾjūj/Gog are in passiveform. Hence Gog, as clearly stated in the Book of Hezekiel, should be commanderand leader, and corollary Maʾjūj/Gog must beunderstood as the soldiers under the command of Gog. Again, considering thefire related meanings in their etymology, Yaʾjūj and Maʾjūj/Gog and Magog can beevaluated as representatives of Satan. |
