YA’JOOJ & MA’JOOJ – THE KUFR DENIAL OF MODERNIST, MISCREANT SHEIKHS & MOLVIS
QUESTION
As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
Sheikh Yasir Qadhi mentioned in a bayaan that one can not believe that there is a tribe trapped behind a wall for 4000 years. Referring to Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj, and then goes on to mention that anyone who knows history and geography will know that it is not possible that they still exist today and are locked up. Then he mentions that this is the view of Sheikh Allaamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rahmatullahi alay) . He also mention all Hadeeth about Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are dhaeef (weak). Is this correct?
ANSWER
At the outset it must be emphasized that this liberal minded sheikh has lost his Imaan in consequence of his denial of Sareeh Nusoos – Aayaat of the Qur’aan and Saheeh Ahaadith pertaining to Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj.
Insha-Allah, a separate booklet shall be published with all the explicit Qur’aanic and Hadith Nusoos pertaining to this subject. The bare minimum to believe as part of our Aqeedah regarding this issue is as follows:
- Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are two Mufsid nations/tribes who have been imprisoned in a valley/land beyond some mountains which are currently hidden by Allah Ta’ala from our gaze.
- Zul Qarnain (Rahmatullah alayh) had constructed a solid steel barrier to close the pass between the mountain opening via which these two tribes would emerge to spread their anarchy on people.
- Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj will remain imprisoned behind this Barrier until the time of emergence decreed by Allah Ta’ala.
- The steel Barrier will remain intact until the hour of their emergence.
- Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj will emerge from their mountain prison after the appearance of Imaam Mahdi (Alayhis salaam) and after the descent of Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam).
- After spreading anarchy and havoc on earth, Allah Ta’ala will destroy them. Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam) will still be alive at that time.
All the arguments in denial of the aforementioned bare minimum requisite for the validity of Imaan, are the effects of intellectual miscegenation and jahaalat aggravated by egoistical projection of a misguided perception of Ilmi erudition.
Whatever personal opinion Allaamah Kashmiri (Rahmatullah alayh) had expounded pertains to historical details which are largely the product of conjecture and speculation. Allaamah Kashmiri (Rahmatullah alayh) did not deny the aforementioned bare minimum requisites pertaining to Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj.
The ‘impossibility’ stated by the misguided sheikh is pure nonsense and bunkum stemming from deficiency of Imaan, and the focus not being on the Qudrat of Allah Ta’ala. “Verily, Allah has Qudrat (Power) over all things.” (Qur’aan). His conclusions are absolutely stupid.
His claim that all Ahaadith pertaining to Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are ‘dhaeef’ is the effect brains being Dhaeef and coalescing in seismic cognitive dissonance which culminated in the denial of the Sareeh Nusoos and the more than 14 century Ijma’ of the Ummah on the Aqeedah pertaining to Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj.
“Allah guides whomever He wills and He Misguides whomever He wills.” (Qur’aan)
