Are the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal) and Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) humans or jinn, and will they be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection?
The Dajjal, Gog, and Magog are from the Children of Adam. Al-Munawi explicitly stated this regarding the Dajjal, and it is also indicated by the Prophet's—peace and blessings be upon him—and his companions' doubt as to whether Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal. As for Gog and Magog, Al-Nawawi mentioned that they are from the offspring of Adam according to most scholars. Ibn Abd al-Barr unanimously agreed that they are from the offspring of Japheth, son of Noah. Al-Saffarini quoted Ibn Kathir saying that they are two factions of Turks from the progeny of Adam, and from the lineage of Japheth, the father of the Turks. Based on this, they will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment like all other Children of Adam, because they were created for worship.
