"Until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before them, a people who scarcely understood a word" (93) "They said" O Dhul-Qarnain! verily Gog and Maggog are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?" (94) "So they (Gog and Maggog) could not scale it or dig through it" (97) "He said (Dhul-Qarnain) "This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down (The barrier) to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true."(98) "And on that day will come, We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another; and the Trumpet will be blown, and We shall Collect them all together (The creatures)." (99) "And on that day We shall present Hell to the believers, plain to view" (100) - (The Holy Quran Al-kah'f -18)

"Until when Gog and Maggog are let loose (from the barrier) and they swoop down from every mound" (96) - (The Holy Quran - The prophets - 21)

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) Said that "At the end of times and after Jesus Christ kill the anti-Christ and rules in the Holy land, God will let Gog and Maggog swoop the Holy Land the first who enter will drink from sea of Galilee, the last group will say there was water here. They will fill the land with mischief and rampage. Jesus and the believers will take refuge in Mount Sinai and will pray to God to destroy them, and then God will destroy them by lightning. Jesus will send a group to investigate, they will come back to say rotten smell is felt from miles before entering the Land, then Jesus prayed to God to cleanse and purify the land, God sends birds to collect the bodies of Gog and Maggog and throw them in the Mediterranean Sea. And then God send continuous rain falls on the land for forty days and nights. Then Jesus returns back to the Holy Land and Rules there for few years, then he dies a normal death and all the Muslims (Believers) will die too, leaving earth ruled by the wicked people, then God destroys earth on them"

This is a very short narration of Gog and Maggog and what will happen in the end. ...
