What does the Qur'an say about Gog and Magog?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 18:94–98 They said: O Dhu'l-Qarnayn, Gog and Magog are spoiling the land - may we pay thee tribute to set a barrier? ... Give me pieces of iron ... And they were not able to surmount it nor to pierce it. He said: this is a mercy from my Lord; and when my Lord's promise cometh He will lay it low. These verses tell one episode: asked for a barrier against Gog and Magog, Dhu'l-Qarnayn builds it of iron, they cannot scale or pierce it, and he says his Lord will lay it low when His promise comes. The earlier part of the same passage, 18:83-90, is in Does the Qur'an say the sun sets in a muddy spring?
  2. 02 21:96–97 Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose and they hasten out of every mound - and the True Promise draweth nigh, then behold, staring wide in terror, the eyes of those who disbelieve. In as ONE PASSAGE because the release and the terror are one sentence, and because this is the only place Gog and Magog appear outside the Dhul-Qarnayn story.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

Two passages, in two surahs, and that is the whole of it.

In 18:94-98 they are a present problem: a people spoiling the land, and a ruler who builds a barrier of iron and molten copper that they cannot climb or breach. The passage is careful about what the barrier is - the builder refuses tribute for it and calls it a mercy from his Lord - and it is even more careful about how long it lasts: WHEN MY LORD'S PROMISE COMETH, HE WILL LAY IT LOW.

In 21:96-97 that promise arrives. Gog and Magog are let loose, they pour from every height, and the True Promise draws near.

So the text gives them a location behind a wall, a character - spoilers of the land - and a role at the end. It does not say who they are, where the barrier stands, what they look like, or how many. The very detailed accounts of both, familiar from later literature, are not here: they come from and from commentary, and no hadith collection and no has cleared the rights audit.

One thing worth a reader's attention. The four translators handle the names differently - Gog and Magog, Yajuj and Majuj - and the barrier is variously a rampart, a barrier and a wall. Nothing in these renderings identifies the site.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 18:94–98, widening across 2 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 2 passages, each with every cleared translation

2 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

18:94 তারা বললো: ‘হে যুলকারনাইন! নিশ্চয় ইয়া’জূজ ও মা’জূজ(৩৬) জমিনে অশান্তি সৃষ্টি করছে। তাই আমরা কি আপনাকে এ জন্য কিছু খরচ (অনুদান) দেব যে, আপনি আমাদের ও তাদের মধ্যে একটি (প্রতিবন্ধক) প্রাচীর নির্মাণ করে দিবেন?’

18:95 সে (যুলকারনাইন) বললো: ‘আমার রব আমাকে যে (রাষ্ট্র ও ক্ষমতার মাধ্যমে) সামর্থ্য দিয়েছেন, সেটাই উত্তম। সুতরাং তোমরা আমাকে শ্রম দিয়ে সাহায্য করো, আমি তোমাদের ও তাদের মাঝখানে একটি সুদৃঢ় প্রাচীর নির্মাণ করে দিবো।’

18:96 ‘তোমরা আমাকে লোহার পাত এনে দাও’। অবশেষে যখন (লোহার স্তুপের দ্বারা) সে দু’পাহাড়ের মধ্যবর্তী জায়গা সমান করে দিলো, তখন সে বললো: ‘তোমরা (আগুন জ্বালিয়ে) হাঁপরে দম দিতে থাক।’ অতঃপর যখন সে তা আগুনে পরিণত করলো, তখন বললো: ‘তোমরা আমাকে কিছু তামা এনে দাও, আমি তা এর ওপর ঢেলে দিই।’

18:97 এরপর (প্রাচীরটি উঁচু হওয়ায়) তারা প্রাচীরের ওপর দিয়ে অতিক্রম করতে পারলো না এবং (সুদৃঢ় হওয়ায়) নিচ দিয়েও তা (ছিদ্র করে) ভেদ করতে পারলো না।

18:98 সে (যুলকারনাইন) বললো: ‘এটা আমার রবের পক্ষ থেকে অনুগ্রহ। অতঃপর যখন আমার রবের ওয়াদাকৃত সময় আসবে(৩৭) তখন তিনি তা চূর্ণ-বিচূর্ণ করে দিবেন। আর আমার রবের ওয়াদা সত্য।’

18:96 მომიტანეთ რკინის ნაჭრები», როცა უკვე აღავსო [გაათანაბრა მშენებლობით] ორ კლდის შორისი! თქვა: «დაჰბერეთ!» და როცა მან აქცია იგი ცეცხლად, თქვა: «მომიტანეთ, გადავასხამ ამას გამდნარ სპილენძს!»

18:97 და ვერ შეძლეს [იაჯუჯ-მაჯუჯებმა] მისი გადალახვა და ვერ შეძლეს მისი გახვრეტაც.

18:98 [ზულ-ყარნაინმა] თქვა: «ეს არის წყალობა ჩემი ღმერთისგან [ადამიანებზე]. და როცა აღსრულდება აღთქმა ჩემი ღმერთისა [იაჯუჯისა და მაჯუჯის გამოსვლაზე], იგი მას მიწასთან გაასწორებს, და ჩემი ღმერთის აღთქმა ჭეშმარიტებაა».

18:94 Sie sagten: „O Dhul-Qarnayn, Ya’juj und Ma’juj stiften Unheil auf der Erde. Sollen wir dir eine Gebühr dafür aussetzen, dass du zwischen uns und ihnen eine Sperrmauer errichtest?“

18:95 Er sagte: „Was mir mein Herr an fester Stellung verliehen hat, ist besser (als eure Gebühr). Doch helft mir mit (eurer Arbeits)kraft, damit ich zwischen euch und ihnen einen aufgeschütteten Wall errichte.

18:96 Bringt mir die Eisenstücke.“ Als er nun zwischen den beiden Berghängen gleich hoch (aufgeschüttet) hatte, sagte er: „Blast (jetzt).“ Als er es zum Glühen gebracht hatte, sagte er: „Bringt mir, damit ich (es) darüber gieße, geschmolzenes Kupfer.“

18:97 So konnten sie (also Ya`juj und Ma`juj) ihn (also den Wall) weder überwinden, noch konnten sie ihn durchbrechen.

18:98 Er sagte: „Das ist eine Barmherzigkeit von meinem Herrn. Wenn nun das Versprechen meines Herrn eintrifft, lässt Er ihn (also den Wall) in sich zusammensinken; und das Versprechen meines Herrn ist wahr.“

18:94 Είπαν: «Ω, Δου-Αλ-Καρνάιν! Πράγματι, οι Γωγ και Μαγώγ σκορπίζουν το κακό στη γη. Θα μπορούμε να σου δώσουμε κάποια πληρωμή και να κάνεις ένα φράγμα ανάμεσα σε μας και αυτούς;»

18:95 Είπε (ο Δου-Αλ-Καρνάιν): «Αυτό που μου έδωσε ο Κύριός μου από δύναμη (και εξουσία) είναι καλύτερο (από όποια πληρωμή και να μου προσφέρετε). Βοηθήστε με λοιπόν με δύναμη (από άνδρες και εργαλεία), και θα κάνω ανάμεσα σε σας και αυτούς, ένα μπάζωμα (φράγμα).

18:96 Φέρτε μου κομμάτια σιδήρου [ή βράχους σιδήρου].» Ώσπου όταν ίσιωσε (το μπάζωμα και το χτίσιμο) ανάμεσα στα δύο βουνά, είπε: «(Ανάψτε φωτιά και) φυσήξτε (σ' αυτή)», ώσπου όταν το έκανε φωτιά, είπε: «Φέρτε μου λιωμένο χαλκό να τον χύσω πάνω του.»

18:97 Έτσι, δεν μπορούσαν (οι λαοί Γωγ και Μαγώγ) να το υπερνικήσουν, ούτε μπορούσαν να το τρυπήσουν.

18:98 Είπε (ο Δου-Αλ-Καρνάιν): «Αυτό (το φράγμα) είναι έλεος από τον Κύριό μου. Αλλά όταν θα έρθει η ώρα που όρισε ο Κύριος μου, θα το ισοπεδώσει (το φράγμα). Πράγματι, η υπόσχεση του Κυρίου μου είναι πάντα αληθινή (που οπωσδήποτε θα πραγματοποιηθεί).»

18:94 उन्होंने कहा : ऐ ज़ुल-क़रनैन! निःसंदेह याजूज और माजूज इस भूभाग में उत्पात मचाने वाले हैं। तो क्या हम आपके लिए कुछ राजस्व तय कर दें, इस शर्त पर कि आप हमारे और उनके बीच एक अवरोध बना दें?

18:95 उसने कहा : मेरे पालनहार ने जो कुछ मुझे प्रदान किया है, वह उत्तम है। अतः तुम श्रमशक्ति से मेरी सहायता करो, मैं तुम्हारे और उनके बीच एक मोटी (और दृढ़) दीवार बना दूँगा।

18:96 मुझे लोहे के टुकड़े ला दो, यहाँ तक कि जब दोनों पहाड़ों के बीच का हिस्सा ऊपर तक बराबर कर दिया, तो कहा : अब इसमें आग दहकाओ, यहाँ तक कि जब उसे आग कर दिया, तो कहा : मुझे पिघला हुआ ताँबा ला दो, ताकि मैं इसपर उँड़ेल दूँ।

18:97 फिर उनमें न यह शक्ति रही कि उस पर चढ़ सकें और न वे उसमें कोई छेद कर सके।

18:98 उस (ज़ुलक़रनैन) ने कहा : यह मेरे पालनहार की ओर से एक दया है। फिर जब मेरे पालनहार का वादा[33] आ जाएगा, तो वह इसे पृथ्वी के बराबर कर देगा, और मेरे पालनहार का वादा हमेशा से सच्चा है।

18:96 Portatemi grandi pezzi di ferro!” Finché non riempì il vuoto tra i due lati. Disse: «Soffiate!» Finché le rese incandescenti. Disse: «Datemi adesso del bronzo fuso da versarci sopra!»

18:95 95. Jis tarė: „Tai (turtas, valdžia ir galia), kurią mano Viešpats suteikė man yra geriau (nei jūsų duoklė). Taigi padėkite man (savo vyrų) galia, aš iškelsiu tarp jūsų ir jų barjerą.

18:96 96. Duokite man geležies gabalus (plytas).“ Tada, kai jis užpildė plyšį tarp dviejų kalnų skardžių, tarė: „Papūskite“. Tada, kai jis padarė juos (raudonus kaip) ugnimi, jis tarė: „Atneškite man išlydytą varį užpilti ant jų.“

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

21:96 E, kur të lirohen jexhuxhët e mexhuxhët, duke dalë me shpejtësi nga çdo lartësi,

21:97 e të afrohet Premtimi i Vërtetë, sytë e atyre që nuk besuan do të shtangen (e do të thonë): "Mjerë ne! Ne ishim vërtet të shkujdesur ndaj kësaj, madje ishim të padrejtë."

21:96 অবশেষে যখন ইয়া’জূজ ও মা’জূজকে (দেয়াল খুলে আবদ্ধ অবস্থা থেকে ) মুক্তি দেয়া হবে, তখন তারা জমিনের প্রতিটি উঁচু ভূমি হতে দ্রুত বেরিয়ে আসবে।

21:97 আর সত্য প্রতিশ্রুত (কিয়ামত) নিকটবর্তী হলে হঠাৎই কাফিরদের দৃষ্টিগুলো স্থির হয়ে যাবে। (তারা বলবে,) ‘হায় আমাদের দুর্ভাগ্য! আমরা তো এ ব্যাপারে ছিলাম সম্পূর্ণ গাফিল(২১); বরং আমরা ছিলাম জালিম।’

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 18:94-98, 21:96-97, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - gog; magog; yajuj; rampart; barrier + iron. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.

Correction record, 2026-09-17. At 18:94-98, a cross-reference was reworded to say exactly which part of the passage the other study carries. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
