ATH: "Dhul Qarnain And The New Leadership"

"When he comes out, Satan seeks to gain influence and control over the ungodly people of the earth, that is the juj-wa-majuj, ' or `Gog and Magog.' Juj-wa-majuj are not original Arabic terms. So we have to be aware of the meaning of juj and majuj, in the environment where these terms originated. `Juj means, having a head, and `ma-juj' means having no head. It means leaders having leadership, and `ma-juj,' having no leadership. So here the ungodly people of the world are put into two descriptions: one is that they have leadership, and the other is that they have no leadership. They are at war with each other and we get caught in the crossfire, and suffer their problems. Satan can't get at us directly, so he gets at us through them. Satan encourages this condition in Gog and Magog. He encourages the headless to love heedlessness. And he encourages those who want leadership to go to the extreme and become fanatic in their advocated leadership, to the point that they establish dictatorship. The other side is weak liberalism. And what do you have in the end? You have militaristic power and anarchistic power. These things have spilled over into the private lives of the people of the earth." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
