Advice of Scholars - THE SYMPTOMS OF DOOMSDAY

All of what the Mukhbir-i sâdiq (he who always tells the truth) reported about the symptoms of Doomsday are true. There can be no errors. That day the sun, contrary to its usual course, will rise in the west. Hadrat Mahdî will appear, Hadrat Îsâ (Jesus) will descend from heaven. The Dajjal will appear, people called Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj (Gog and Magog) will spread on the earth.

It is written in Hujjat-ullâhi ’alal’âlamîn, “People called Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj are descendants of Yâfas (Japheth), the (third) son of Nûh (Noah) ‘alaihissalâm’. They have flat and wide faces, small eyes and big ears, and they are short. Each has a thousand children. Nine - tenths of the number of genies and men are Ya’jûj and Ma’jûj. Every day they make a hole in the wall they have been left behind. But at night the wall becomes the same as it was before. They are unbelievers. When they get beyond the wall, they will attack people. People will take refuge in cities and in buildings. They will eat up animals and drain rivers. Îsâ ‘alaihissalâm’ and his Sahâba will invoke against them. A wound will appear on the neck of each, and they will all die in one night. Eating them, animals will multiply. Their stink will make the earth impossible to live on. ”

It is written in the Qur’ân that Gog and Magog are two evil peoples which were left behind a wall at a very ancient time and that they will spread on the earth towards Doomsday. Considering that archaelogical research discovers cities buried under the ground and sea fossils on the peaks of mountains, that wall does not have to be in the open, nor do those people have to be numerous today. As a matter of fact, it could be thought that as thousands of millions of people today have originated from two people, so those two peoples will spread on the earth by multiplying out of a few people and none knows where these people are.

The beast called Dâbbatulard will appear, the sky will be covered with smoke, which will reach all the people and will hurt them; due to its pain everybody will pray, “Yâ Rabbî! Remove this torment from us. We now believe in Thee!” The last symptom is a fire, which will break out in Aden [which is in Yemen].
