Is the destiny of every individual of Gog and Magog the Fire, or will some of them embrace Islam?
The apparent meaning of the religious texts indicates that Gog and Magog are all disbelievers and their destiny is Hellfire, based on the Almighty's saying: (They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are mischief-makers on earth"). This is also supported by the of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that Allah the Almighty will say to Adam: "Bring forth the contingent for the Hellfire." Adam will ask: "From whom?" Allah will say: "From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine." The Prophet, peace be upon him, then said: "Indeed, among you will be one, and from Gog and Magog, a thousand." Their disbelief is further substantiated by the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, concerning the barrier, which indicates their corruption and their dominance on earth, and how Allah will destroy them with worms as a punishment for them.
