The questioner : He says:The questioner : Are Ya'juj and Ma'juj currently present, and where is their location?
The Shaykh : I say, I ask Allah to protect him from them when they come out, for they will pour out from every height. Allah has narrated to us their story in His Book in the account of Dhul-Qarnayn.[Al-Kahf 18:90]
