Do Jews and Christians believe in Gog and Magog as they believe in the Antichrist?
It is advisable not to preoccupy oneself with this matter, for knowledge of it brings no benefit, and ignorance of it causes no harm. If it were good, it would have been mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Some scholars have cited accounts of Gog and Magog and their stories from Jewish scriptures, which are also believed by Christians. These accounts are neither to be believed nor disbelieved.
Ibn Hazm mentioned that Gog and Magog and the Wall were mentioned in Jewish and Christian scriptures, in Aristotle’s Book of Animals, and in Ptolemy’s Book of Geography.
The belief of Jews and Christians in the Antichrist differs from that of Muslims. Jews await the Antichrist and consider him their awaited one, while Christians believe their Messiah is the crucified Messiah, whom they describe with attributes that have no reality.
