Seeing Gog and Magog in the time of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. He asks, he says: It is Gog and Magot. Does the surah mean, in Chinese paper? The Shaykh says: Did the Companions see them?
Answer:
Allah knows best. It is known that they were seen and found, but not in the time of the Companions, but in the time of the Greatness, in the time of the Mahdi, or in the time of al-Rashid. A group went and saw them. The report of the Qur'an is more truthful than theirs. I say the report of the Qur'an is sufficient.
