A: And it is forbidden for a town that We (Allah) had destroyed that they will not return (all will return to the Day of Judgement). Until when Gog and Magog (Ya'jouj and Ma'jouj) are let through (their barrier) and they will be walking hurriedly from everywhere. And the True Promise approaches (more near) so suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved are wide open and fixed: Woe (destruction) to us!

Translation of: Ayah 18, Surat Muhammad.
* One grave indication of the approach of the Day of Judgement are the tribes of Gog and Magog (= Ya'juj and Ma'juj).
The time of the descending of the Qur'an is (610-632 C. E.). The Prophet Muhammad once became red-faced and looked very worried. He said: Great grief (=Wayl) to the Arabs. Gog and Magog have broken through their barrier today so much! And the Prophet widened his hand between his thumb and index finger.

Indeed Gog and Magog** (= Ya'juj and Ma'juj) are corrupters in the land so do we pay you a tribute on the condition that you make a barrier between us and them? He said: What my God made me powerful in is better (than your tribute) so aid me with (human) force - I will make between you and them a filling up (dam); Bring me huge blocks of iron until when he leveled it up between the two sides (of the mountains) he said: Blow! Until when he made it fire he said: Bring me to pour on it molten metal. So they (Gog and Magog) could not climb it neither could they pierce it. He said: This is Mercy from my God so when the Promise of my God arrives He (Allah) will make it (barrier) pounded to dust and the Promise of my God is Truthful. And We (Allah) left them bump into each other (so many of them like waves) and it was blown in the Trumpet (Day of Judgement starts) so We gathered them a complete gathering.

Note: In a brief summary of a part of a topic narrated by Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki in his speech in English about 'The Hereafter: The minor signs of the Day of Judgement): The disbelieving tribes of Gog and Magog are continuously trying to break through their barrier. Finally they will succeed when their leader says "God's willing". Their place is in the East. They will swarm the land after the anti-Christ is killed by the "the real" Christ, The "real" Christ will retreat to Jerusalem because of Gog and Magog who will fill the earth with killing. Allah will send big birds to kill and take their corpses away. Then rain to wash their stink. Then peace will prevail for some time before the arrival of the Day of Judgement.

Q: The end of Jesus' life was controversial as was his birth. What does the Qur'an say about what happened to Jesus?
Hint: Jesus' coming back to earth is a prophetic indication of the imminent arrival of the Day of Judgement.
A: And their (Jews') saying that we certainly killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary (= AlMaseeh Issa Bin Maryam) - the prophet of Allah and they did not kill him --- *; Rather Allah lifted (body and soul)** him towards Himself and Allah is AlMighty, The All-Wise; And there is none of the people of the Book but must believe in him before his death and on the Day of Judgement he will be upon them a witness.
Translation of: Ayat 157 - 159, Surat AlNisa'.
* Please research it yourself.
** Most of the Islamic scholars support the opinion of Jesus being lifted body and soul to the Heaven. Another person --- (Please research what the Qur'an says in Ayah 157 of Chapter AlNisa'). Allah took Jesus' soul away like in sleep (=Tawaffa). Source: The Abridged Version of Tafseer Ibn Kastheer who died 774 Hijri. Remember Allah takes souls away during sleep and during death. Line 42 in Chapter AlZumar in the Qur'an is translated as: Allah takes away the souls at the time of their death and the souls of those who have not died during their sleep. Then He holds back those who have died and sends the others to (life to) a fixed time. Certainly in such are Miraculous Signs (Ayat) for the people who contemplate.
Note: A prophetic indication of the approach of the Day of Judgement is the imposter christ (anti-Christ = AlMessih AlDajjal). In a summary of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad: The imposter christ will be one-eyed. His second eye will be like a floating grape. He will say to people around the world: I am your god. The Prophet Muhammad continued: And your God is not one-eyed. And the Imposter Christ will have in his hands fire and water. So choose the fire because the fire (of the imposter) is Paradise of Allah and water (of the imposter) is Hell. The imposter christ will take the faithful who rejects him and orders his body to be severed into two with a saw. Then the imposter christ will order the killed faithful person to come back to life. Then he will ask him: Do you believe in me now? The faithful will say: This has only increased my faith in Allah and increased my rejection of you! So the imposter christ will hold him and fling him away. The faithful will be actually flung to a Garden of Allah. After some time of the extreme riot (fitnah) made by the imposter christ, the real Christ (Issa) will be sent down to earth. He will kill the imposter christ. Peace will prevail afterwards for around forty (weeks, months or years). The prophet said he was not sure which one of them. Then just before the Day of Judgement a breeze will come and makes all the righteous people dead. Then the Day of Judgement will begin on the heads of the remaining extremely vicious people.
Note: In a summary of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad: I am worthier than any other prophet of Jesus because there was no other prophet between me and him,. So when he comes down do recognize him! A man of red and white colored-skin, wearing two garments dyed with red dust (= mumasar); as if his hair is dripping (overflows as if with moisture) even it is not wet. The imposter christ (antiChrist) will be killed by Jesus. Jesus will do other things to support Allah's True Religion (Please research them.). Allah in Jesus' time will destroy all religions except "Allah's True Religion". Peace will prevail then he will die his natural death and he will be buried.

The man nodded yes but since he was workaholic in this life he wanted to work as a farmer in Paradise. His request was granted. He was given some seeds. When he threw them immediately plants sprouted as tall as the mountains and were ready to be reaped. Allah told him: Son of Adam! Nothing makes you satisfied. The Bedouin who heard the Prophet's speech said: This man must be from Quraish (the Prophet's tribe who immigrated to AlMadinah (an agricultural land) or from the Ansar (of AlMadinah) because we Bedouins do not care about agriculture.

He will say: How is it my God and people have taken their dwellings and their belongings. So it will be said to him. Do you get pleased if you have a kingdom like a king of the kings of earth. So he will say: I am pleased, my God!. So He will say to him: For you that, and like that and like that and like that. So in the fifth he said: I am pleased my God!. So he will say to him: This is for you and ten times like it with it and for you what your soul desires and your eyes delight in. So he will say: I am pleased my God. So he (Moses) said: And their highest in ranks. He (Allah) said: Those whom I have planted their honour with my hand and put a seal on it so no eye has seen and no ear has heard and it never occurred to the heart of a human being.
