Understanding the Coming New World Order

We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society.

The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.

There are three reasons why today’s transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the Third Industrial Revolution but rather the arrival of a Fourth and distinct one: velocity, scope, and systems impact. The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent. When compared with previous industrial revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.

The possibilities of billions of people connected by mobile devices, with unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, and access to knowledge, are unlimited. And these possibilities will be multiplied by emerging technology breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing.

Already, artificial intelligence is all around us, from self-driving cars and drones to virtual assistants and software that translate or invest. Impressive progress has been made in AI in recent years, driven by exponential increases in computing power and by the availability of vast amounts of data, from software used to discover new drugs to algorithms used to predict our cultural interests. Digital fabrication technologies, meanwhile, are interacting with the biological world on a daily basis. Engineers, designers, and architects are combining computational design, additive manufacturing, materials engineering, and synthetic biology to pioneer a symbiosis between microorganisms, our bodies, the products we consume, and even the buildings we inhabit.

Challenges and opportunities

Like the revolutions that preceded it, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has the potential to raise global income levels and improve the quality of life for populations around the world. To date, those who have gained the most from it have been consumers able to afford and access the digital world; technology has made possible new products and services that increase the efficiency and pleasure of our personal lives. Ordering a cab, booking a flight, buying a product, making a payment, listening to music, watching a film, or playing a game—any of these can now be done remotely.

In the future, technological innovation will also lead to a supply-side miracle, with long-term gains in efficiency and productivity. Transportation and communication costs will drop, logistics and global supply chains will become more effective, and the cost of trade will diminish, all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth.

At the same time, as the economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee have pointed out, the revolution could yield greater inequality, particularly in its potential to disrupt labor markets. As automation substitutes for labor across the entire economy, the net displacement of workers by machines might exacerbate the gap between returns to capital and returns to labor. On the other hand, it is also possible that the displacement of workers by technology will, in aggregate, result in a net increase in safe and rewarding jobs.

We cannot foresee at this point which scenario is likely to emerge, and history suggests that the outcome is likely to be some combination of the two. However, I am convinced of one thing—that in the future, talent, more than capital, will represent the critical factor of production. This will give rise to a job market increasingly segregated into “low-skill/low-pay” and “high-skill/high-pay” segments, which in turn will lead to an increase in social tensions.

In addition to being a key economic concern, inequality represents the greatest societal concern associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The largest beneficiaries of innovation tend to be the providers of intellectual and physical capital—the innovators, shareholders, and investors—which explains the rising gap in wealth between those dependent on capital versus labor. Technology is therefore one of the main reasons why incomes have stagnated, or even decreased, for a majority of the population in high-income countries: the demand for highly skilled workers has increased while the demand for workers with less education and lower skills has decreased. The result is a job market with a strong demand at the high and low ends, but a hollowing out of the middle.

This helps explain why so many workers are disillusioned and fearful that their own real incomes and those of their children will continue to stagnate. It also helps explain why middle classes around the world are increasingly experiencing a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction and unfairness. A winner-takes-all economy that offers only limited access to the middle class is a recipe for democratic malaise and dereliction.

Discontent can also be fueled by the pervasiveness of digital technologies and the dynamics of information sharing typified by social media. More than 30 percent of the global population now uses social media platforms to connect, learn, and share information. In an ideal world, these interactions would provide an opportunity for cross-cultural understanding and cohesion. However, they can also create and propagate unrealistic expectations as to what constitutes success for an individual or a group, as well as offer opportunities for extreme ideas and ideologies to spread.

The impact on business

An underlying theme in my conversations with global CEOs and senior business executives is that the acceleration of innovation and the velocity of disruption are hard to comprehend or anticipate and that these drivers constitute a source of constant surprise, even for the best connected and most well informed. Indeed, across all industries, there is clear evidence that the technologies that underpin the Fourth Industrial Revolution are having a major impact on businesses.

On the supply side, many industries are seeing the introduction of new technologies that create entirely new ways of serving existing needs and significantly disrupt existing industry value chains. Disruption is also flowing from agile, innovative competitors who, thanks to access to global digital platforms for research, development, marketing, sales, and distribution, can oust well-established incumbents faster than ever by improving the quality, speed, or price at which value is delivered.

Major shifts on the demand side are also occurring, as growing transparency, consumer engagement, and new patterns of consumer behavior (increasingly built upon access to mobile networks and data) force companies to adapt the way they design, market, and deliver products and services.

A key trend is the development of technology-enabled platforms that combine both demand and supply to disrupt existing industry structures, such as those we see within the “sharing” or “on demand” economy. These technology platforms, rendered easy to use by the smartphone, convene people, assets, and data—thus creating entirely new ways of consuming goods and services in the process. In addition, they lower the barriers for businesses and individuals to create wealth, altering the personal and professional environments of workers. These new platform businesses are rapidly multiplying into many new services, ranging from laundry to shopping, from chores to parking, from massages to travel.

On the whole, there are four main effects that the Fourth Industrial Revolution has on business—on customer expectations, on product enhancement, on collaborative innovation, and on organizational forms. Whether consumers or businesses, customers are increasingly at the epicenter of the economy, which is all about improving how customers are served. Physical products and services, moreover, can now be enhanced with digital capabilities that increase their value. New technologies make assets more durable and resilient, while data and analytics are transforming how they are maintained. A world of customer experiences, data-based services, and asset performance through analytics, meanwhile, requires new forms of collaboration, particularly given the speed at which innovation and disruption are taking place. And the emergence of global platforms and other new business models, finally, means that talent, culture, and organizational forms will have to be rethought.

Overall, the inexorable shift from simple digitization (the Third Industrial Revolution) to innovation based on combinations of technologies (the Fourth Industrial Revolution) is forcing companies to reexamine the way they do business. The bottom line, however, is the same: business leaders and senior executives need to understand their changing environment, challenge the assumptions of their operating teams, and relentlessly and continuously innovate.

The impact on government

As the physical, digital, and biological worlds continue to converge, new technologies and platforms will increasingly enable citizens to engage with governments, voice their opinions, coordinate their efforts, and even circumvent the supervision of public authorities. Simultaneously, governments will gain new technological powers to increase their control over populations, based on pervasive surveillance systems and the ability to control digital infrastructure. On the whole, however, governments will increasingly face pressure to change their current approach to public engagement and policymaking, as their central role of conducting policy diminishes owing to new sources of competition and the redistribution and decentralization of power that new technologies make possible.

Ultimately, the ability of government systems and public authorities to adapt will determine their survival. If they prove capable of embracing a world of disruptive change, subjecting their structures to the levels of transparency and efficiency that will enable them to maintain their competitive edge, they will endure. If they cannot evolve, they will face increasing trouble.

This will be particularly true in the realm of regulation. Current systems of public policy and decision-making evolved alongside the Second Industrial Revolution, when decision-makers had time to study a specific issue and develop the necessary response or appropriate regulatory framework. The whole process was designed to be linear and mechanistic, following a strict “top down” approach.

But such an approach is no longer feasible. Given the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s rapid pace of change and broad impacts, legislators and regulators are being challenged to an unprecedented degree and for the most part are proving unable to cope.

How, then, can they preserve the interest of the consumers and the public at large while continuing to support innovation and technological development? By embracing “agile” governance, just as the private sector has increasingly adopted agile responses to software development and business operations more generally. This means regulators must continuously adapt to a new, fast-changing environment, reinventing themselves so they can truly understand what it is they are regulating. To do so, governments and regulatory agencies will need to collaborate closely with business and civil society.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution will also profoundly impact the nature of national and international security, affecting both the probability and the nature of conflict. The history of warfare and international security is the history of technological innovation, and today is no exception. Modern conflicts involving states are increasingly “hybrid” in nature, combining traditional battlefield techniques with elements previously associated with nonstate actors. The distinction between war and peace, combatant and noncombatant, and even violence and nonviolence (think cyberwarfare) is becoming uncomfortably blurry.

As this process takes place and new technologies such as autonomous or biological weapons become easier to use, individuals and small groups will increasingly join states in being capable of causing mass harm. This new vulnerability will lead to new fears. But at the same time, advances in technology will create the potential to reduce the scale or impact of violence, through the development of new modes of protection, for example, or greater precision in targeting.

The impact on people

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, finally, will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we develop our careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships. It is already changing our health and leading to a “quantified” self, and sooner than we think it may lead to human augmentation. The list is endless because it is bound only by our imagination.

I am a great enthusiast and early adopter of technology, but sometimes I wonder whether the inexorable integration of technology in our lives could diminish some of our quintessential human capacities, such as compassion and cooperation. Our relationship with our smartphones is a case in point. Constant connection may deprive us of one of life’s most important assets: the time to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversation.

One of the greatest individual challenges posed by new information technologies is privacy. We instinctively understand why it is so essential, yet the tracking and sharing of information about us is a crucial part of the new connectivity. Debates about fundamental issues such as the impact on our inner lives of the loss of control over our data will only intensify in the years ahead. Similarly, the revolutions occurring in biotechnology and AI, which are redefining what it means to be human by pushing back the current thresholds of life span, health, cognition, and capabilities, will compel us to redefine our moral and ethical boundaries.

Shaping the future

Neither technology nor the disruption that comes with it is an exogenous force over which humans have no control. All of us are responsible for guiding its evolution, in the decisions we make on a daily basis as citizens, consumers, and investors. We should thus grasp the opportunity and power we have to shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution and direct it toward a future that reflects our common objectives and values.

To do this, however, we must develop a comprehensive and globally shared view of how technology is affecting our lives and reshaping our economic, social, cultural, and human environments. There has never been a time of greater promise, or one of greater potential peril. Today’s decision-makers, however, are too often trapped in traditional, linear thinking, or too absorbed by the multiple crises demanding their attention, to think strategically about the forces of disruption and innovation shaping our future.

In the end, it all comes down to people and values. We need to shape a future that works for all of us by putting people first and empowering them. In its most pessimistic, dehumanized form, the Fourth Industrial Revolution may indeed have the potential to “robotize” humanity and thus to deprive us of our heart and soul. But as a complement to the best parts of human nature—creativity, empathy, stewardship—it can also lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny. It is incumbent on us all to make sure the latter prevails.

COVID-19: The Great Reset (Book) -- New World Order

2020-08-01T17:37:00.002-07:00

"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out."Erudite, thought-provoking and plausible" -- Hans van Leeuwen, Australian Financial Review (Australia)"The book looks ahead to what the post-coronavirus world could look like barely four months after the outbreak was first declared a pandemic" -- Sam Meredith, CNBC (USA) "The message that the pandemic is not only a crisis of enormous proportions, but that it also provides an opportunity for humanity to reflect on how it can do things differently, is important and merits reflection"-- Ricardo Avila, Portafolio (Colombia) "A call for political change in the post-pandemic world"-- Ivonne Martinez, La Razon (Mexico)"History has shown, the book argues, that pandemics are a force for radical and lasting change"-- Mustafa Alrawi, The National (UAE)

Gog and Magog

2020-08-01T03:32:00.008-07:00

Gog and Magog are mentioned in only 2 places in the Quran, in Surah al-Anbiyah

and Surah Al-Kahf. It is in Surah Kahf that we find clues of their whereabouts

narrated in the story of Dhul-Qarnain.

In Surah Al-Kahf, Dhul-Qarnain, a divinely appointed king and conqueror, travels

west, where he dominates a people who live near a body of water that is “dark and

murky”. He then travels east, where he meets a people for whom God had “not

provided any shelter”. According to the Quran, Dhul-Qarnain did not conquer the

people of that region. Finally, he travels in a third direction, until he arrives at a pass

between 2 mountains. Here, he meets a people who speak a language he can barely

understand. They complain to him that Gog and Magog are doing mischief in the

land and request him to build a barrier between them. Dhul-Qarnain accepts and

builds them a wall at the pass between the 2 mountains which, according to him, will

be leveled by God when his “promise comes”. God promised each of His prophets that the last prophet would come with a great final

law. In scriptures like the Torah, this is referred to as “The Promise.” The notion that

this “Promise” is, in fact, the prophet Muhammad is supported by the numerous

Ahadith in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim which record the vision in the life of the

Prophet in which he was informed that “a hole was made in the barrier built by

Dhul-Qarnain” and hence that the divine destruction of that barrier was taking place

and the release of Gog and Magog has commenced.

In my opinion, the figure of Dhul-Qarnain is the Persian king Cyrus the Great,

founder of the Achaemenid empire. Born in Persia, Cyrus goes on to conquer the Median empire in 550 BC where he decides to found Pasargadae, his capital city. From there he then travels west, where he conquers Lydia in 547 BC. Lydia is located in Asia Minor right next to the “dark and murky” waters of the Black Sea. He then

travels east, towards central Asia where he found the city of Cyropolis, which is located near the Eurasian Steppe. The Steppe is a large area of flat grassland in central Asia that does not offer its inhabitants any “shelter”. Since Dhul-Qarnain traveled in a third direction where he came across a pass between two mountains, it is

safe for us to assume that this is the pass at the Caucasus mountains, which is at the northern border of the Achaemenid empire. Here, he would have met with the Georgian people, who speak the Georgian language which is considered a language isolate. A language isolate is a language with no demonstrable genealogical relationship with other languages. The Georgian language which is spoken south of

the Caucasus Mountains is an insular pre-Indo-European language with no relatives that has been spoken for at least 5000 years.

There is further evidence to suggest that Cyrus is Dhul-Qarnain. Like Dhul-Qarnain, Cyrus also communicated with God as demonstrated in the Bible. Cyrus also carried out Gods promise to the Jews where he said that he will free them from their Babylonian captivity and return them to the Holy Land. It was Cyrus who liberated

the Jews and granted them the Holy Land, suggesting that like Dhul-Qarnain in the Quran, Cyrus too was in contact with God.

When Moses crossed the Red Sea with the Israelites (the 12 tribes that descend from the 12 sons of Jacob), he was ordered by Allah to conquer the Holy Land from the people inhabiting it (Quran 5:21). The Israelites however, refused, out of fear for those who occupied it (Quran 5:22). These would be the Canaanite peoples.

According to Biblical sources, the Canaanites were the sons of the Anakim (Deuteronomy 9:1-2). According to the same sources, the Anakim descend from the Nephilim or “fallen angels”. In other words, Iblis and his followers, who, as we know in Islam, are actually Jinns. The Bible goes on to say that these fallen angels

intermarried with the daughters of men and produced a race called the Anakim, who are very tall and strongly built people (Genesis 6:1-4). I am aware that these are information from the Bible and do not know how to make sense of it, however, it does not seem to go against the Quran (Quran 17:64). If this is true and the Canaanites were indeed the descendants of these giants, it would explain to us why the Israelites were so afraid to confront them. Eventually,

after wandering the desert for 40 years, and a new generation had come, they conquered the Holy Land, where the 12 tribes would live as a confederation until they would be united, centuries later, under Holy Israel. The victorious Israelites were ordered by their lord, God, to destroy and drive out the people of the conquered lands

(Joshua 17:18) and not to intermarry with them (Deuteronomy 7:2-3) or worship their gods (Exodus 23:23). However, despite these warnings they did both of these extensively (Judges 3:5-6). The Amorites, the Canaanite tribe who occupied the Holy Land before the Israelite takeover, are depicted in Egyptian tomb paintings as white skinned, red or light haired and blue eyed. The Amorites were also tall and strong (Amos 2:9).

Centuries later, after the death of the Prophet-King Solomon, Israel broke into civil war and was divided into 2. The Northern Kingdom of Israel, comprising of 10 tribes with its capital in Samaria to the north. And the Kingdom of Judah, with 2 tribes and

Jerusalem as its capital to the south. The people from Judah eventually become known as Jews. It should be noted that according to Biblical sources it was mainly the northern tribes that lived among Canaanites (Judges 1:27-33). Therefore, it was probably the northern tribes that intermarried with the Canaanites the most and very

likely became racially and culturally different from their southern brethren. This might explain why the 3 Israelite rulers chosen by Allah, Saul, David and Solomon, were all from the 2 tribes that made up the Kingdom of Judah. Just after the split of the kingdom of Israel, the king of Judah, who according to the Bible was the son of Solomon, prepared an army to conquer the weakened north and

reunite Israel. But Allah forbade him from doing so by sending revelation to the prophet Shemaiah (I Kings 12: 21-24), saying that this was his doing. It is my opinion that Allah in his wisdom, allowed this division to keep the kingdom of Judah separate from Northern Israel. After the fall of Holy Israel, both kingdoms fell into

idol worship. However, the kingdom of Northern Israel was more corrupt and extensive when it came to idol worship, going as far as building temples dedicated to the golden calf or Baal to challenge the temple in Jerusalem.

Despite several warnings from God, the Israelites’ continued idolatry and failure to listen to its prophets led to the destruction of Northern Israel by the Assyrians in 721 BC. Judah was also attacked but not conquered thanks to its king Hezekiah, who returned Judah to the worship of the One God and therefore maybe spared by Allah.

Most of the conquered Northern Israelites were relocated by the Assyrians, to parts of modern day Northern Iraq and Iran (2 Kings 18:11) while Samaria was restocked by subjects from other parts of the Assyrian empire (II Kings 17: 24). It is from this

point that the 10 tribes of Northern Israel become known as the “Lost Tribes of Israel”. While it is true that the 10 northern tribes lost their Israelite identity and special status with God (Hosea 9:15), the actual people themselves were never really lost and their

whereabouts and movements can be traced.

The ancient Assyrian records mentions of a people called the “Gimirri ” who lived in the regions of Northern Mesopotamia and Media in the late 8 th century BC. This is the same place and time where the northern Israelites were placed by the Assyrians.

The Assyrian name for Northern Israel prior to its destruction was “Khumri”, derived from “Bit-Khumri”, which means House of Omri. Omri was a royal dynasty of Northern Israel. After their deportation, the Assyrians dropped the use of the word Khumri and instead called them Gimirri, which is likely the Babylonian variant. The

Gimirri are known as the Cimmerians in English. The Cimmerians were placed there to serve as a client state, positioned between Assyria and its rival, the Kingdom of Urartu. It was common practice for the Assyrians to create such buffers, by creating

smaller states made up of captured and deported people. The Cimmerians were also used as mercenaries by the Assyrians in military campaigns against Urartu. In the early 7 th Century BC, one group of Cimmerians rebelled against the Assyrians and went west, into Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), and then eventually settled down in Crimea and the Black Sea region. Those who didn’t leave were called “Iskuza” by the Assyrians, which is translated as “Scythian” in English. Therefore, despite this division and difference in terminology, the Cimmerians and Scythians are from the same stock. As the Encyclopedia Iranica states, “the Cimmerians cannot be differentiated archeologically from the Scythians.”

In fact both these names are used interchangeably in the Assyrian and other ancient sources. This is confirmed in the Behistun Inscription found in Persia which describes the conquests of the Persian king Darius the Great, written in 3 different

languages, Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian. In it, the Babylonian word Gimirri (Cimmerian) is written as Saka (Scythian) in Persian and Elamite. Similar examples are found in other inscriptions as well. Ancient historians describe the Scythians as tall, white-skinned with red/fair hair and blue eyes.

The Scythians who still remained grew in strength and, eventually joined the rebellion led by the Babylonians and Medes to overthrow the Assyrians in 612 BC. However, after the conquest, the Medes and Babylonians divided the Assyrian Empire between themselves and drove out the Scythians, who crossed the Darial Pass

and took refuge in the Caucasus mountains and the steppes of Southern Russia. It was here that one group among them gets trapped, a few decades later, by Persian king Cyrus the Great, who in my opinion is Dhul-Qarnain. The remaining Scythians then

spread from the Caucasus in all directions except south. This is because of Dhul-Qarnain’s barrier. Some go as far as China and the Indus valley and gradually assimilate with the local tribes. This is why we can see some people with fair and blond phenotypes in parts of western China, Northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran.

One group, however, goes west, into Europe. This group of Scythians settles in the Black Sea area, the very same place the

Cimmerians did a few 100 years earlier. The Cimmerians by then would have moved further into Europe and were known as the “Cimbri”, “Gauls” and more generally as “Celts”. According to archaeologists and historians, the Celts were the first people

known to have used chain mail armor. However, we know that this type of armor was taught to David by Allah and therefore Israelite technology (Quran 21:80). In the Quran Allah also mentions that he taught David how to “make iron soft.” (Quran 34:10–11). The Celtic tribes and the Scythians are known for their sophisticated

metalwork which requires this knowledge.

The Celtic tribes would go on to conquer all of western and central Europe, sacking Rome in 390 BC. The ones that went to Britain end up being known as the “Britons”. After several wars, the Celts in mainland Europe get nearly wiped out by the Romans

in the 2 nd and 1 st centuries BC. One group, however, managed to make its way from northwestern Spain to Ireland and became known the “Scots”. The Celts are also described as tall, white-skinned with red/fair hair and blue eyes. In fact, Britain and Ireland, the only countries where the Celts survived, have the highest population of

naturally redheaded people in the world

Meanwhile, the Scythians continued to live in the region north of the Black sea until, when in the 3rd to 2nd century BC, the Sarmatians started invading their land. Their invasion forced the Scythians to move further west, occupying the coast of the Baltic and North Seas and Scandinavia. Since the land that was called Scythia was now

inhabited by a new people, the Romans, according to Pliny and Strabo, stopped the use of the word Scythians and instead used the names "Sarmatae" (Sarmatians) and “Germani” (Germanic tribes). In other words, the Scythians who moved out were now called Germans. Non-Roman writers, however, continue to call them Scythians, till as late as the 9 th century CE.

Like the Celts, before them, the Germanic tribes came into conflict with the Roman Empire. Due to centuries of expensive wars and internal moral decay, the Western Roman Empire fell to the Germans in 476 CE and all of western, central, and southern Europe becomes Germanized. During its last stages, the Roman Empire withdrew its troops stationed in Britain to protect its own cities. This left the island open for invasion by the Germans, mainly from the tribes of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Several early writers such as

Diodorus, Ptolemy, Pliny, Albinus, and British historian Sharon Turner, maintained that the Saxons (and their kin) were decedents of the Sakai (Scythians). These people who eventually dominate Britain come to be known as the “Anglo-Saxons”. From this point onward, what is now known as western Europe becomes a stronghold of

the Germans, which lasts to this very day.

Before we go any further, we should understand what happened to the Kingdom of Judah. After the Kingdom of Northern Israel fell, the people in the Kingdom of Judah failed to learn their lesson. They too turned to all forms of sin and, therefore, inevitably suffer a similar punishment. The Babylonians, who had conquered Assyria

25 years earlier, besieged the kingdom in 587 BC, pillaging Jerusalem and destroying the Temple of Solomon. The Jews (inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah) were taken into captivity in Babylon. It was here that they got the revelation that the golden age of Israel would be restored by God.

Less than 40 years after the captivity, a King rose from Persia who went on to conquer the Median empire in 550 BC and then Lydia, a land situated next to the “dark and murky” waters of the Black Sea, in 546 BC. He would then turn his attention to Babylon, invading it in the year 539 BC. This king, Cyrus, then allowed

the exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem and used royal funds to rebuild their temple. The Jews went from being slaves in the most powerful empire at the time, to return to their homeland in just a few decades.

For the next 400 years, Jerusalem would continue to survive by the grace of Allah. In the 4

th century BC, king Alexander of Macedonia, or “Alexander the Great”, conquered and Hellenized the known world. However, when he marched towards Jerusalem, the High Priest, out of fear, went out to meet him. Upon seeing him, Alexander dismounted from his horse and bowed to him. According to the Roman-Jewish scholar Josephus, when asked by his general, to explain his actions,

Alexander answered, “I did not bow before him, but before that God who has honored him with the high Priesthood; for I saw this very person in a dream, in this very apparel.” He spared Jerusalem, peacefully absorbing it into his empire.

In the 1 st century BC, just 63 years before the birth of the Messiah, Jerusalem fell to the Romans. However, it was allowed to remain autonomous with Judaism officially recognized as an official religion. Then, about 70 years later, Jesus reveals himself to be the Jewish Messiah, and as we know the Jews reject him and try to crucify him

with the help of the Romans. Once Allah raised Jesus to safety, his protection over the Jews for more than 400 years had officially ended. They had failed miserably and their chance for a second Holy Israel was finished. A few years after their rejection of the Messiah, the Jews start revolting against the Romans. After three major rebellions, the Romans entered Jerusalem and destroyed the second temple, massacred the Jews, exiled the survivors, and banned them from returning to Jerusalem. These survivors would go on to settle down in all corners of the word. This is known as the Jewish

diaspora.

Before the death of Prophet Muhammad, no empire or nation crossed the Caucasus mountains since the Scythians. If you study all the Empires following that, they always stop at the Caucasus, as if something was stopping them. Those in the south never cross to the north and vice versa. This suddenly changed a few decades after

the passing of the Prophet, when the Kingdom of Khazaria emerged in southern

Russia, north of the Caucasus. This kingdom did something those in the past never managed to do. It crossed the Caucasus and came south to establish itself as a regional superpower rivaling the Arabs and the Byzantine Romans. This is because the barrier that blocked any movement across the Caucasus was no more. In other

words, Gog and Magog were now released and were the ruling elite of Khazaria. The people of the Khazar kingdom were mainly composed of Turkic tribes. However, the ruling elite was ethnically and linguistically different from its subjects. The Arab

and writers of the time described the Khazars as having a white complexion, blue eyes, and reddish hair, just like the Scythians who occupied the Caucasus when Dhul-Qarnain built his barrier more than a 1000 years ago.

The kingdom of Khazaria was multireligious, being the home to pagans, Christians and Muslims. However in the 8th century, the Khazar king Bulan, along with the royal elites, converted to Judaism, and from then on all Khazar kings had Hebrew names. Khazaria continued to flourish until the 9th century, when 2 groups called the

“Magyars” and “Kabars” left Khazaria. The Magyars, the ancestors of the Hungarians while the Kabars were Jews. The Kabars and Magyars move west and eventually settle down and created the nation of Hungary. During the late 10th century more Khazars migrated to Hungary. A few decades after these 2 migrations, Khazaria gets invaded by the Rus (Russians). Unlike his predecessors, the king ruling Khazaria during its fall was most likely a Christian, named Georgius Tzul. This might be because all of the Jewish Khazar elites (Gog and Magog) had left Khazaria by then.

From their new home in Hungary, the Kabar and Magyar elite start heavily intermarrying with the royal families of Western Europe. These European Royal families culminate with the current British Royal family. There are plenty of examples linking the British royal family and aristocracy to the Hungarians/Khazars (Gog and Magog). I will provide one such instance. During the early 11th century, the Danes invaded Britain and exiled the heir to the British throne, who eventually ended up in Hungary. There he married a local princess and fathered a daughter named Margaret. Once the English regained power, the exiled king returned to England with his family along with several Hungarians only to die a few days after reaching the shores of England. A few years later the Norman French invade England under their leader William the Conqueror. This drives the party from Hungary north, into Scotland. There, Margaret marries the King

of Scots, Malcolm III, who’s descendants include the current British royal family.

One of the Hungarians that accompanied her was called George, who was a Hungarian prince. His descendants are known as the Drummond clan. The Drummonds married into the British royal family and also became a wealthy banking dynasty. One Drummond, in the 1800s, named Henry, co-founded and funded the

“ London Jews' Society”, whose main purpose was to spread Christian Zionism. So what we have here, is one example of a people from the land of Gog and Magog, who end up being one of the founders of Zionism. This one example alone fulfills the

prophecy in the Quran in Surah al-Anbiyah verses 95-6.

You may have realized by now, that the point I’m trying to make, is that Gog and Magog and those in the West are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The first-ever mention of Gog and Magog in Jewish texts is by the prophet Ezekiel who lived as a captive in Babylon. That is nearly 200 years after the northern tribes were “lost”. Also, the light physical features of the modern westerner is the same as the Scythians, and the Amorites of the Holy Land, whom the Israelites heavily mixed with. I am not implying that all ethnic Europeans are inherently evil. This is not Islamic. Allah in the

Quran says that he made men as nations and tribes so that we may identify each other (Quran 49:13), and that is all I’m doing.

The Quran uses the words “Jews” and “Banu Israel” and it is important to understand the difference between the two. The word Jew is used for the followers of Moses after the time of Jesus, and “Banu Israel” or “Children of Israel” was used during and

before Jesus. This is because, after the rejection of Jesus, the concept of Holy Israel came to an end and so did any chance of the Israelites being reunited. In the Quran whenever Allah used the word “Banu Israel” he is talking about the 12 tribes, the children of the 12 sons of Jacob. With that in mind, if we look at verse 49 in Surah Al-Imran, we can see that Jesus was sent as the Messiah not only for the

Jews, but for all of Banu Israel. This promise can also be found in the verses of the Hebrew Bible (Jeremiah 23:5-8). Also, in the prophecy mentioned in Surah Al-Isra verse 104, Allah says he will gather the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL as a mixed crowd in the Holy Land during the End Times. If we look at the verse previous to it, it is

beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is addressing the 12 tribes. The Jews, having rejected Jesus, still await for the fulfillment of all those prophecies.

It was when the Jews were held captive in Babylon that the Jewish heresy known as the Kabbalah was born. Certain heretical Jews who refused to purge their religion of pagan influences instead added to them the practices of Babylonian magic. In order not to reveal their apostasy, they disguised their hidden faith as an interpretation of

the religion, a cult that is known as the Kabbalah. This development is carefully described in the Quran in Surah al-Baqara, verse 101-102. According to historian David Livingstone, after Cyrus freed the Jews from Babylon these Kabbalistic ideas spread around the world and went on to be the source of various works of philosophy,

religious sects (Gnosticism,Sufism, Catharism etc.) and secret societies (Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, Freemasons etc.).

During the 16th Century, a Rabbi named Isaac Luria initiated a new interpretation of the Kabbalah. Known as the New Kabbalah or Lurianic Kabbalah, it transmitted the notion that the Jews must not merely await the fulfillment of prophecy with regards

to the coming of the Messiah and restoration of the Jewish people in the Promised Land. Rather, they ought to work actively to prepare for his appearance. This meant recreating Holy Israel of David and Solomon by any means necessary. This is the birth of modern Zionism, which aims to create the necessary political, social, and

moral circumstances to receive the coming of their messiah, that is, a new world order.

In order for the Zionists to cause the advent of the messiah, they need to accomplish certain tasks. Chief among them is, which many believe, is returning the Jews to the Holy Land. This is where I have to disagree because they are supposed to bring back Holy Israel of David and Solomon. Holy Israel wasn’t just home to the Jews but

all the 12 tribes of Israel. In fact, part of the prophecy regarding the second golden age and the coming of the Messiah includes the return of the lost tribes (Jeremiah 23:5-8). This is why Jesus asked his apostles to go look for the “lost sheep of Israel” because it was the duty of the Messiah to reunite them (Matthew 10 5-6).

Ever since the Holy Land was liberated from the Ottomans, the Zionists have made great efforts to settle the Jews there. This was made easy after the second World War, thanks to the holocaust. Over the years Jews poured into Israel, while those who didn’t, at least became a dual citizen. In the past couple of decades however, several

organizations such as “Shavei Israel” have been working on locating and bringing back the Lost Tribes. They usually go to remote places in Africa or India, find primitive people, usually numbering a few hundred, and call them Israelite. None of these finds are backed by any proof. For example, one group found in India, called

“Bnei Menashe”, was claimed to be the descendants of the Israelite tribe of Menasseh. However, DNA tests show that none of these people have even a hint of Middle Eastern ancestry. Therefore, it is unlikely that Jews would take any of this seriously and certainly not as a fulfillment of the prophecy.

It is to the British that they will turn to. The British, unlike the rest of the Europeans are more racially connected to the Israelites, being descendants of the Celts(Cimmerians) and the Germans (Scythians). It is very well known that the Jews and the British share a close affinity with one another. The British have had a strong

alliance with the Jews for the last few centuries. By the 19th century, Jewish bankers, such as the Rothschilds and Goldsmiths, had become enormously wealthy and successful, to a point where they entered the aristocracy. It was from here that the Judeo-Christian alliance was born. It was an alliance between the banking Jewish

elite and the British royalty and aristocracy (Gog and Magog), both known for their involvement in shirk. It was this alliance that liberated the Holy Land and created the modern unholy state of Israel. This exists today as the Judeo-Anglo-American

alliance. According to the Lurianic Kabbalah, the Zionists have to fulfill certain tasks in order to bring in the New World Order, which in turn will bring forth their messiah. These plans are what we know as the Zionist agenda. Which includes liberating the holy

land from the Muslims, returning the Jews and the lost tribes to the holy land and creating a state of Israel, and finally making the state of Israel the ruling state of the world. In order to make Israel the superpower of the world they need to bring down

the other world powers. That will be achieved through a nuclear 3rd world war, which has been hinted in the Quran and mentioned in the ahadith as the Malhama or Armageddon. This would explain the phenomenon of Brexit, the beginning of Britain’s ostracization from the rest of the western world, which could culminate with Britain leaving NATO. This would ensure the safety of Britain during

a global war since it would not be obligated to take part in it. After the war the inhabitants of Britain will leave war-torn Europe and move to the Holy Land. To the Jews this will be the fulfillment of prophecy, seeing this as the return of the lost tribes.

From an Islamic point of view, this is the beginning of what is known as Ākhiral-Zamān or the End Times. The messiah that these people look forward to is what we know as the Dajjal or the Anti-Christ. These events will culminate with the arrival of the prophet Jesus, after which it is very little until the end of history.

The Origins of Gog and Magog and its impact in Ākhir al-Zamān (The End Times)

2020-07-30T14:22:00.008-07:00

This article is written under the assumption that the reader is familiar with the

views held by Sheikh Imran Hosein on Islamic eschatology.

When Musa (as) crossed the Red Sea with the Israelites (the 12 tribes that descend

from the 12 sons of Yakub (as)), he was ordered by Allah to conquer the Holy Land

from the people inhabiting it (Quran 5:21). The Israelites however, refused, out of

fear for those who occupied it (Quran 5:22). These would be the Canaanite peoples.

According to Biblical sources the Canaanites were the sons of the Anakim

(Deuteronomy 9:1-2). According to the same sources, the Anakim descend from the

Nephilim or “fallen angels”. In other words, Iblis and his followers, who, as we know

in Islam, are actually Jinns. The Bible goes on to say that these fallen angels

intermarried with the daughters of men and produced a race called the Anakim, who

are a very tall and strongly built people (Genesis 6:1-4). I am aware that these are

information from the Bible and do not know how to make sense of it, however it does

not seem to go against the Quran (Quran 17:64). If this is true and the Canaanites were indeed the descendants of these giants, it

would explain to us why Banu Israel were so afraid to confront them. Eventually,

after wandering the desert for 40 years, and a new generation had come, they

conquered the Holy Land, where the 12 tribes would live as a confederation until

they would be united, centuries later, under Holy Israel. The victorious Israelites were

ordered by their lord, God, to destroy and drive out the people of the conquered lands

(Joshua 17:18) and not to intermarry with them (Deuteronomy 7:2-3) or worship their

gods (Exodus 23:23). However, despite these warnings they did both of these

extensively (Judges 3:5-6). The Amorites, the Canaanite tribe who occupied the Holy

Land before the Israelite takeover, are depicted in Egyptian tomb paintings as white

skinned, red or light haired and blue eyed. The Amorites were also tall and strong

(Amos 2:9).

Centuries later, after the death of the Prophet-King Suleiman (as), Israel broke into

civil war and was divided into 2. The Northern Kingdom of Israel, comprising of 10

tribes with its capital in Samaria to the north. And the Kingdom of Judah, with 2

tribes and Jerusalem as its capital to the south. The people from Judah eventually

become known as Jews. It should be noted that according to Biblical sources it was

mainly the northern tribes that lived among Canaanites (Judges 1:27-33). Therefore,

it was probably the northern tribes that intermarried with the Canaanites the most and

very likely became racially and culturally different from their southern brethren. This

might explain why the 3 Israelite rulers chosen by Allah, Talut, Dawud (as) and

Suleiman (as), were all from the 2 tribes that made up the Kingdom of Judah.

Just after the split of the kingdom of Israel, the king of Judah, who according to the

Bible was the son of Suleiman (as), prepared an army to conquer the weakened north

and reunite Israel. But Allah forbade him from doing so by sending revelation to the

prophet Shemaiah (I Kings 12: 21-24), saying that this was his doing. It is my

opinion that Allah in his wisdom, allowed this division to keep the kingdom of Judah

separate from Northern Israel. After the fall of Holy Israel, both kingdoms fell into

idol worship. However, the kingdom of Northern Israel was more corrupt and

extensive when it came to idol worship, going as far as building temples dedicated to

the golden calf or Baal to challenge the temple in Jerusalem.

Despite several warnings from God, the Israelites’ continued idolatry and failure to

listen to its prophets led to the destruction of Northern Israel by the Assyrians in 721

BC. Judah was also attacked but not conquered thanks to its king Hezekiah, who

returned Judah to the worship of the One God and therefore maybe spared by Allah.

Most of the conquered Northern Israelites were relocated by the Assyrians, to parts of

modern day Northern Iraq and Iran (2 Kings 18:11) while Samaria was restocked by

subjects from other parts of the Assyrian empire (II Kings 17: 24). It is from this

point that the 10 tribes of Northern Israel become known as the “Lost Tribes of

Israel”. While it is true that the 10 northern tribes lost their Israelite identity and special status

with God (Hosea 9:15), the actual people themselves were never really lost and their

whereabouts and movements can be traced.

The ancient Assyrian records mentions of a people called the “Gimirri ” who lived in

the regions of Northern Mesopotamia and Media in the late 8

th century BC. This is

the same place and time where the northern Israelites were placed by the Assyrians.

The Assyrian name for Northern Israel prior to its destruction was “Khumri”, derived

from “Bit-Khumri”, which means House of Omri. Omri was a royal dynasty of

Northern Israel. After their deportation, the Assyrians dropped the use of the word

Khumri and instead called them Gimirri, which is likely the Babylonian variant. The

Gimirri are known as the Cimmerians in English. The Cimmerians were placed there

to serve as a client state, positioned between Assyria and its rival, the Kingdom of

Urartu. It was common practice for the Assyrians to create such buffers, by creating

smaller states made up of captured and deported people. The Cimmerians were also

used as mercenaries by the Assyrians in military campaigns againt Urartu. In the

early 7

th Century BC, one group of Cimmerians rebelled against the Assyrians and

went west, into Asia Minor (modern day Turkey), and then eventually settled down in

Crimea and the Black Sea region.

Those who didn’t leave end up being called “Iskuza” by the Assyrians, which is

translated as “Scythian” in English. Therefore, despite this division and difference in

terminology, the Cimmerians and Scythians are from the same stock. As the

Encyclopedia Iranica states, “the Cimmerians cannot be differentiated

archeologically from the Scythians.” In fact both these names are used

interchangeable in the Assyrian and other ancient sources. This is confirmed in the

Behistun Inscription found in Persia which describes the conquests of Persian king

Darius the Great, written in 3 different languages, Persian, Elamite and Babylonian.

In it, the Babylonian word Gimirri (Cimmerian) is written as Saka (Scythian) in

Persian and Elamite. Similar examples are found in other inscriptions as well.

Ancient historians describe the Scythians as tall, white skinned with red/fair hair and

blue eyes.

The Scythians who still remained, grew in strength and, eventually joined the

rebellion led by the Babylonians and Medes to overthrow the Assyrians in 612 BC.

However, after the conquest, the Medes and Babylonians divided the Assyrian

Empire between themselves and drove out the Scythians, who crossed the Darial Pass

and took refuge in the Caucasus mountains and the steppes of Southern Russia. It was

here that one group among them gets trapped, a few decades later, by Persian king

Cyrus the Great, who in my opinion is Dhul-Qarnain. The remaining Scythians then

spread from the Caucasus in all directions except south. This is because of

Dhul-Qarnain’s barrier. Some go as far as China and the Indus valley and gradually

assimilate with the local tribes. This is why we can see some people with fair and

blond phenotypes in parts of western China, Northern Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.

One group however, goes west, into Europe.

This group of Scythians settle in the Black Sea area, the very same place the

Cimmerians did a few 100 years earlier. The Cimmerians by then would have moved

further into Europe and were known as the “Cimbri”, “Gauls” and more generally as “Celts”. According to archaeologists and historians the Celts were the first people

known to have used chain mail armour. However, we know that this type of armour

was taught to Dawud (as) by Allah and therefore Israelite technology (Quran 21:80).

In the Quran Allah also mentions that he taught Dawud (as) how to “make iron soft.”

(Quran 34:10–11). The Celtic tribes and the Scythians are known for their

sophisticated metal work which requires this knowledge.

The Celtic tribes would go on to conquer all of western and central Europe, sacking

Rome in 390 BC. The ones that went to Britain end up being known as the “Britons”. After several wars, the Celts in mainland Europe get nearly wiped out by the Romans

in the 2

nd and 1

st centuries BC. One group however, managed to make its way from

northwestern Spain to Ireland and became known the “Scots”. The Celts are also

describe as tall, white skinned with red/fair hair and blue eyes. In fact, Britain and

Ireland, the only countries where the Celts survived, have the highest population of

naturally redheaded people in the world

Meanwhile the Scythians continued to live in the region north of the Black sea until,

when in the 3

rd to 2

nd century BC, a group called the Sarmatians started invading their

land. These Sarmatians were a Eurasian people of Scythian and Asian background

who eventually get Slavitized by the 4

th century CE. Their invasion forced the

Scythians to move further west, occupying the coast of the Baltic and North Seas and

Scandinavia. Since the land that was called Scythia was now inhabited by a new

people, the Romans, according to Pliny and Strabo, stopped the use of the word

Scythians and instead used the names "Sarmatae" (Sarmatians) and “Germani”

(Germanic tribes). In other words the Scythians who moved out were now called

Germans. Non-Roman writers however, continues to call them Scythians, till as late

as the 9

th century CE.

Like the Celts before them the Germanic tribes came into conflict with the Roman

Empire. Due to centuries of expensive wars and internal moral decay the Western

Roman Empire fell to the Germans in 476 CE and all of western, central and southern

Europe becomes Germanized.

During it’s last stages, the Roman empire withdrew its troops stationed in Britain to

protect its own cities. This left the island open for invasion by the Germans, mainly

from the tribes of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. Several early writers such as

Diodorus, Ptolemy, Pliny, Albinus and British historian Sharon Turner, maintained

that the Saxons (and their kin) were decedents of the Sakai (Scythians). These people

who eventually dominate Britain come to be known as the “Anglo-Saxons”. From

this point onward, what is now known as western Europe becomes a stronghold of

the Germans, which lasts to this very day.

Before we go any further, we should understand what happened to the Kingdom of

Judah. After the Kingdom of Northern Israel fell, the people in the Kingdom of Judah

failed to learn their lesson. They too turned to all forms of sin and, therefore,

inevitably suffer a similar punishment. The Babylonians, who had conquered Assyria

25 years earlier, besieged the kingdom in 587 BC, pillaging Jerusalem and destroying

the Temple of Solomon. The Jews (inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah) were taken

into captivity in Babylon. It was here that they got revelation that the golden age of

Israel would be restored by God.

Less than 40 years after the captivity, a King rose from Persia who went on to

conquer the Median empire in 550 BC and then Lydia, a land situated next to the

“dark and murky” waters of the Black Sea, in 546 BC. He would then turn his

attention to Babylon, invading it in the year 539 BC. This king, named Cyrus, would

then do something strange. Not only did he allow the exiled Jews to return to

Jerusalem, but he also used royal funds to rebuild their temple. The Jews went from

being basically slaves in the most powerful empire at the time, to returning to their

homeland in just a few decades. This is nothing more than the work of Almighty

Allah, who used his chosen servant (Cyrus) to do his bidding.

For the next 400 years Jerusalem would continue to survive by the grace of Allah. In

the 4

th century BC, king Alexander of Macedonia, or “Alexander the Great”, conquered and Hellenized the known world. However when he marched towards

Jerusalem, the High Priest, out of fear, went out to meet him. Upon seeing him,

Alexander dismounted from his horse and bowed to him. According to the

Roman-Jewish scholar Josephus, when asked by his general, to explain his actions,

Alexander answered, “I did not bow before him, but before that God who has

honored him with the high Priesthood; for I saw this very person in a dream, in this

very apparel.” He spared Jerusalem, peacefully absorbing it into his empire.

In the 1

st century BC, just 63 years before the birth of the Messiah, Jerusalem fell to

the Romans. However, it was allowed to remain autonomous with Judaism officially

recognized as an official religion. Then, a about 70 years later, Isa (as) reveals

himself to be the Jewish Messiah, and as we know the Jews reject him and try to

crucify him with the help of the Romans. Once Allah raised Nabi Isa to safety, his

protection over the Jews for more than 400 years had officially ended. They had

failed miserably and their chance for a second Holy Israel was finished. A few years

after their rejection of the Messiah, the Jews start revolting against the Romans.After

three major rebellions, the Romans entered Jerusalem and massacred the Jews,

exiling the survivors and banning them from returning to Jerusalem. These survivors

would go on to settle down in all corners of the word. This is known as the Jewish

diaspora.

Before the death of Prophet Muhammed (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), no empire or

nation crossed the Caucasus mountains since the Scythians. If you study the maps of

all the Empires after that, they always stop at the Caucasus, as if something was

stopping them. Those in the south never cross to the north and vice versa. This

suddenly changed a few decades after the passing of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi

wa sallam), when the Kingdom of Khazaria emerged in southern Russia, north of the

Caucasus. This kingdom did something those in the past never managed to do. It

crossed the Caucasus and came south to establish itself as a regional superpower

rivaling the Arabs and the Byzantine Romans. This is because the barrier that blocked

any movement across the Caucasus was no more. In other words, Gog and Magog

were now released and were the ruling elite of Khazaria.

The people of the Khazar kingdom were mainly composed of Turkic tribes. However,

the ruling elite were ethnically and linguistically different from its subjects. The Arab

and writers of the time described the Khazars as having a white complexion, blue

eyes, and reddish hair, just like the Scythians who occupied the Caucasus when

Dhul-Qarnain built his barrier more than a 1000 years ago.

The kingdom of Khazaria was multireligious, being the home to pagans, Christians

and Muslims. However in the 8

th century, the Khazar king Bulan, along with the royal

elites, converted to Judaism and from then on all Khazar kings had Hebrew names.

Khazaria continued to flourish until the 9

th century, when 2 groups called the

“Magyars” and “Kabars” left Khazaria. The Magyars, the ancestors of the

Hungarians, were a Turkic tribe that lived in Khazaria, while the Kabars were mostly

Jews, meaning part of the royal elite and therefore Gog and Magog. The Kabars and

Magyars move west and eventually settle down and created the nation of Hungary.

During the late 10th century more Khazars migrated to Hungary. A few decades after

these 2 migrations, Khazaria gets invaded by the Rus (Russians). Unlike his

predecessors, the king ruling Khazaria during its fall was most likely a Christian,

named Georgius Tzul. This might be because all of the Jewish Khazar elites (Gog and

Magog) had left Khazaria by then.

From their new home in Hungary, the Kabar and Magyar elite start heavily

intermarrying with the royal families of Western Europe, mainly Britain (the island of

Dajjal) and eventually go on to create “modern western civilization”. There are

plenty of examples linking the British royal family and aristocracy to the

Hungarians/Khazars (Gog and Magog). I will provide one such instance.

During the early 11th century, the Danes invaded Britain and exiled the heir to the

British throne, who eventually ended up in Hungary. There he married a local

princess and fathered a daughter named Margaret. Once the English regained power,

the exiled king returned to England with his family along with several Hungarians

only to die a few days after reaching the shores of England. A few years later the

Norman French invade England under their leader William the Conqueror. This

drives the party from Hungary north, into Scotland. There, Margaret marries the King

of Scots, Malcolm III, who’s descendants include the current British royal family.

One of the Hungarians that accompanied her was called George, who was a

Hungarian prince. His descendants are known as the Drummond clan. The

Drummonds married into the British royal family and also became a wealthy banking

dynasty. One Drummond, in the 1800s, named Henry, co-founded and funded the

“ London Jews' Society”, whose main purpose was to spread Christian Zionism. So

what we have here, is one example of a people from the land of Gog and Magog, who

travel to the island of Dajjal and end up being one of the founders of Zionism. This

one example alone fulfills the prophecy in the Quran in Surah al-Anbiyah verses

95-6.

You may have realized by now, that the point I’m trying to make, is that Gog and

Magog and those in the West are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. It is in my

opinion that, while they both descend from Banu Israel, Gog and Magog were the

most wicked and corrupt group among them and possibly even their leaders or elite.

This connection would explain the source of their power. Allah blessed the Israelites

more than any other nation (Quran 45:16, 2:40, 2:47, 2:122). The irony is that they

are using this blessing to take them, and those who follow them, into the hell fire.

Furthermore, the first ever mention of Gog and Magog in Jewish texts, is by the

prophet Ezekiel who lived as a captive in Babylon. That is nearly 200 years after the

northern tribes were “lost”. This would also explain the obsession Gog and Magog

have with the Holy Land as seen in the Quran and Hadith. As Sheikh Imran Hosein

has pointed out, it was the western Christians that waged several Crusades in order to

claim Jerusalem as their own, just a few centuries after Gog and Magogs’ release and

infiltration into the West. Gog and Magogs’ modern western civilization also shares

the same arrogance and sense of superiority that the Israelites had. Finally the light

physical features of the modern westerner is the same as the Scythians and the

Amorites of the Holy Land, whom the Israelites heavily mixed with. Now I must

make myself very clear. I am not implying that all ethnic Europeans are inherently

evil. This is not Islamic. Allah in the Quran says that he made men as nations and

tribes so that we may IDENTIFY each other (Quran 49:13), and that all I’m doing.

This connection between the modern west and the Israelites will help us understand,

in greater detail, what will happen in Ākhir al-Zamān.

As Sheikh Imran Hosein has mentioned in his book Jerusalem in the Quran, in order

for Dajjal to fool the Jews, he needs to accomplish certain tasks. Chief among them is

returning the Jews to the Holy Land. This is where I have to respectfully disagree

with the Sheikh. Because Dajjal is supposed to bring back Holy Israel of Nabi Dawud

and Suleiman. That Holy Israel wasn’t just home to the Jews but all the 12 tribes of

Israel. In fact, part of the prophecy regarding the second golden age and the coming

of the Messiah includes the return of the lost tribes (Jeremiah 23:5-8). This is why Isa

(as) asked his apostles to go look for the “lost sheep of Israel”, because it was the

duty of the Messiah to reunite them (Matthew 10 5-6).

Ever since the Holy Land was liberated from the Ottomans, the Zionists have made

great efforts to settle the Jews there. This was made easy after the second World War

(which they manufactured), thanks to the holocaust. Over the years, as the world got

more and more unstable, Jews poured into Israel, while those who didn’t, at least

became a dual citizen. In the past couple of decades however, several organizations

such as “Shavei Israel” have been working on locating and bringing back the Lost

Tribes. They usually go to remote places in Africa or India, find primitive people,

usually numbering a few hundred, and call them Israelite. None of these finds are

backed by any proof. For example, one group found in India, called “Bnei Menashe”, were claimed to be the descendants of the Israeli tribe of Menasseh. However, DNA

tests show that none of these people have even a hint of Middle Eastern ancestry.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Jews would take any of this seriously and certainly not

as a fulfillment of the prophecy.

At this moment I must explain another disagreement I have with Sheikh Imran. This

is regarding the theory that 90% of the Jews currently living in Israel are European

and are not descendants of Abraham. The Roman Empire had established several

colonies in Europe, in parts of modern day France, Spain and Germany, which

included Jewish communities. After Jerusalem was sacked and the Jews were

expelled, they took refuge in these towns and over the years expanded. Jewish

communities in Europe were also founded by Jewish merchants from the Middle East

who settled in the area by marrying local women. Modern genetic studies also show

us that the European Jews, both Sephardic and Ashkenazi, have their roots in the

Middle East. As I mentioned earlier, it was mainly the handful of elite Khazars that

converted to Judaism. After they migrated out of Khazaria, while some of them most

certainly would have mixed with the local Jewish population, many converted to

Christianity in order to infiltrate the European royal houses. So, if the European Jews

currently in the Holy Land are not Gog and Magog, then who is?

The Quran uses the words “Jews” and “Banu Israel” and it is important to understand

the difference between the two. The word Jew is used for the followers of Musa (as)

after the time of Isa (as), and “Banu Israel” or “Children of Israel” was used during

and before Isa (as). This is because, after the rejection of Isa (as), the concept of Holy

Israel came to an end and so did any chance of the Israelites being reunited.

In the Quran whenever Allah used the word “Banu Israel” he is talking about the 12

tribes, the children of the 12 sons of Yakub (as). With that in mind, if we look at verse

49 in Surah Al-Imran, we can see that Nabi Isa was sent as the Messiah not only for

the Jews, but for all of Banu Israel. This promise can also be found in the verses of

the Hebrew Bible (Jeremiah 23:5-8). Also, in the prophecy mentioned in Surah

Al-Isra verse 104, Allah says he will gather the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL as a mixed

crowd in the Holy Land during the End Times. If we look at the verse previous to it,

it is beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is addressing the 12 tribes. The Jews, having

rejected Jesus, still await for the fulfillment of all those prophecies. Therefore, for

Dajjal to trick the Jews into thinking Holy Israel is imminent, he needs to bring back

the “the Lost Tribes”. The Jews will never accept the Germans as their kin after all they went through

during WW2. Nor will they share any kinship with the Latin Europeans because of

their Catholic past. Then, it is to his own island that he will turn to solve this problem.

Unlike the rest of Europe, the British have had a strong alliance with the Jews for the

last few centuries. By the 19th century, Jewish bankers, such as the Rothschilds and

Goldsmiths, had become enormously wealthy and successful, to a point where they

entered the aristocracy. It was from here that the Judeo-Christian alliance was born. It

was an alliance between the banking Jewish elite and the British royalty and

aristocracy (Gog and Magog), both known for their involvement in shirk and black

magic. It was this alliance that liberated the Holy Land and created the modern

unholy state of Israel. This exists today as the Judeo-Anglo-American alliance.

Anglo-American referring to the English/Anglo-Saxon people from America, UK,

Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

During the 19th and 20th centuries a movement called British-Israelism grew among

the middle classes of the Anglo-American people. The movement held the view that

the British people were direct descendants of the ten Lost Tribes and therefore

inheritors of Israel. Overtime the movement died out with only a very small number

of people still associated with it.

I believe Dajjal will use his power over the media to push these types of ideologies to

the Anglo-American people. In fact I suspect this is already happening. A high rate of

Hollywood blockbuster movies include strong messianic and apocalyptic themes.

These movies include, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Matrix, Superman,

and Star Wars just to name a few. He will also do the same to the Jews. One such way

would be to turn to their own scriptures. For example, according to the 5

th century BC

Jewish Scribe Ezra (Uzair), the Lost Tribes left their exile and moved away westward

across the Euphrates, from which they went on for a journey of a year and a half to a

place called Ar-sareth (2nd Esdras 13). Ar-sareth, means city or mountains of Sareth.

Sareth is the name of a river which is situated to the north of the Black Sea. The very

place where the Cimmerians and Scythians lived for several centuries, who later go

onto create the modern West. He would use these connections, along with other

archaeological and historical evidence, probably locked up in places like the

Smithsonian, to connect the Anglo-American West with the Jews just before or right

after the Malhama.

When Allah says he will gather the Israelites as a mixed crowd in the Holy Land

during the End Times, it is clear that he is talking about modern Israel, and he is

gathering them to deal to the ultimate punishment. Based on other instances in the

Quran and Hadith we can identify that these Israelites that Allah said he would gather

are the modern Jews and their long lost kin, led by Gog and Magog. And since Allah

is gathering them for punishment, we can safely assume that he is talking about those

who rebel against him, commit sin and oppression by blindly following their leaders,

just like the ancient Israelites did. The Godless, secular, people from the

Anglo-American Western world fits this bill perfectly.

It is my theory then, that after the Malhama, when all the world powers are destroyed,

Gog and Magog will take survivors from the Anglo-American world to Israel (I can’t

even begin to imagine what will happen to the believers who chose to live among

them). For Dajjal this will be hitting two birds with one stone. Not only will he make

it appear that the lost tribes have returned and therefore fulfilling prophecy, he will

also gain much needed manpower to establish rule over the Middle East. In my

opinion this would be the last of Gog and Magog who travel to the Holy Land. They

will notice the low water levels in the Sea of Galilee, which symbolizes the the urgent

need for resources. The Anglo-Judeo military, equipped with the latest in military

technology will go onto conquer the fertile Nile Delta in Egypt and the oil fields in

Arabia and Sham.

According to my interpretation of the hadith in Sahih Muslim, where Anas ibn Malik

reported that Allah's Messenger (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “The Dajjal would

be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls”, Iran will

not directly take part in the nuclear Malhama.

This is because, in order for Dajjal to assert Israel as the new world power, he has to

prove its capabilities. To the world and to the Jews. He will do this by declaring war

against Iran, a country that has been demonized by the West for several decades for

this very reason. This is also why the Zionist West is using every trick in the book to

prevent Iran from going nuclear. I believe that at this point in history, the world will

hear stories that Jews in Iran are under heavy oppression to a point where its

considered genocidal. This could happen either through lies by Dajjals’ media, or by

a coup organized by the intelligence agencies of Gog and Magog, which plants an

extremist government. The Jews and their Western allies will invade and conquer Iran

under the leadership of a brilliant young commander, who is “powerfully built” and

has “curly hair”. This commander will liberate the Jews in Iran and then “lead” them

back to Israel.

For every Jew, the holocaust was the worst tragedy to befall them since their exile

from Rome. They, along with the rest of the Western world, are constantly reminded

of this, thanks to Hollywood. Therefore, if someone just defeated their, supposedly,

greatest enemy and prevented another holocaust from happening, by rescuing and

returning the last remaining Jews outside Israel, then, all that person has to do is

stand on top of the newly built Temple in Jerusalem and proclaim that he is none

other than their Messiah. Every one-eyed Jew will accept him, the same way 2000

years ago, their one-eyed ancestors, thinking that they had killed him, rejected the

real Messiah. This will usher in the age of Dajjal where one of his days is the same of

one of our days and Pax Judaica will officially begin.

For the past few decades the Western media has been pushing the idea of a clash of

civilization between the secular, liberal, democratic West and the backward Islamic

fundamentalists. This kind of propaganda has bred extreme hatred and animosity

towards Muslims in the West. Many people believe that the reason for such

propaganda is to brainwash Westerners into supporting the war on terror, or even

prepare them for World War 3. However, it is clear that none of the main players in

WW3 are Muslims. I believe the reason for breeding all the hatred is that when Dajjal

brings his Western foot soldiers to the Holy Land, they will have the same hatred for

us in their hearts as the Jews. The verse 82 in Surah al-Maidah explains exactly what

will happen from this point. The Jews and their secular Anglo-American allies (those

whose foundations are built on shirk), will show extreme hostility towards the

Muslims at this point. However, as per that verse, the Orthodox Christians of eastern

Europe and Russia will assist us at this time. As we know, Damascus will be held by

the Muslims until the Messiah descends. Today, Damascus is safe thanks to the

support and intervention by Orthodox Russia. I believe, after the great war, this

alliance will continue, maybe even until the reconquest of Jerusalem.

It is when Isa (as) kills Dajjal, that Allah will send Gog and Magog along with their

Western Anglo-American army, who will attack and besiege Isa (as) and the Muslims.

They, in turn, will make Dua to Allah and he will then destroy Gog and Magog and

their people. Finally, after centuries of war, colonialism, genocide, looting, slavery,

exploitation etc, Gog and Magogs' Western world order will come to an end. Like

they do today, the Jews at the time will be completely dependent on others to do the

fighting for them. Therefore, the death of Dajjal and the destruction of Gog and

Magog will practically open the doors of Jerusalem for the Muslims, who will

conquer the Jews and finally retake the Holy Land, from where Isa (as) will rule as

Hakimun ‘Adil.
