طرح جديد ويستحق القراءة وعرض مبهر لحقيقة يأجوج ومأجوج لم أملك أمام حججه إلا الاقتناع بها
الكاتب يثبت خروج يأجوج ومأجوج في عصرنا الحاضر وانهيار الردم أو السد الذي بناه ذو القرنين ويستدل بأدلة من القرآن والسنة وكذلك يعرض بعض الصور الحقيقية لهذا الردم ((مضيق داريال ))
عمران حسين يقدم تفسير صوفي/إشاري لموضوع يأجوج ومأجوج .. يرى بأن يأجوج ومأجوج ما هم إلا ( النظام العالمي الحالي , إسرائيل - أمريكا ... ) وحاول إثبات وجهة نظره في الكتاب وكتاب أخر ( سورة الكهف النص - ترجمة - تفسير ) . طريقة التفسير أشبه ما تكون بالتفسير الصوفي ( أو التفسير بالإشارة كما يسمى ) ومحاولة إسقاط لآيات السورة في عصرنا الحالي . بعض النقاط مثيرة للإهتمام حقيقة والبعض الأخر أقل ما أقول عنها بإنها مضحكة! مثلاً : يقدم تميم عدي -المترجم- ( والمتأثر بطريقة عمران حسين على ما يبدو كثيراً ) تفسيراً - مستنداً على بعض آيات سورة الكهف - بأن المهدي ما هو إلا صدام حسين ( قدم هذا التفسير في كتاب سورة الكهف النص -ترجمة - تفسير )غير ذكر عمران حسين لفكرة حرب النجوم !
الكتاب غريب ( بجانب كتاباته السابقة ) .. على الأقل هذه النتيجة التي خرجت بها .
Another masterpiece of scholarship by this great author and scholar of Islam - While God knows best to the complete accuracy of his interpretations and conclusions - it is evidently becoming more accurate by day as time has passes - and compelling explanation to the state of the world and where it’s heading

The characters of Gog and Magog are mentioned in Islamic teachings about the end of times. The author explores what these figures mean for us today and how they relate to current events and issues. He connects ancient prophecies to today's world, discussing how Gog and Magog might represent challenges like conflict, materialism, and the search for deeper meaning in life. The book helps readers understand Islamic teachings and encourages them to think about how these ideas can apply to modern society. It’s a thought-provoking read that invites reflection on the significance of these ancient stories in our lives today. For curious readers, it is a must-read book.
الكاتب له وجه نظر واااضحة وصريحة ومأخوذة من ايات قرآنيه مفيش اي اختلاف عليها. بس ممكن تعمقة ف المعاني الخفيه للقرآن دة اللي يسبب نفور من القراء وعدم تصديق للتفاسير والحق لاصحاب العقول طبعا. كتاب يعتبر من افضل الكتب اللي قرأتها وسع افاق نظري لامور كتير وغير مفاهيم كتير كانت مغلوطة عندي وبالنسبالي انا اصدق كل حرف اتكتب. انصح بقرائته
To understand the Israel-Palestine conflict, this book is a great place to begin with. Author relied on evidence and details from authentic sources to build his case about Gog and Magog, who they are? Where Dhul Qarnain barred them? What are they upto? And what happens in future. A must read, highly recommended.
This book was written with the clear aim of inviting a response from modern-day rivals of Islam who claim to possess the truth. It also seeks a reply from the numerous sects within Islam today—sects preoccupied with waging conflict against those devoted to the authentic Islamic spiritual path.
الكاتب له وجة نظر لكن لا أعتقد انها صحيحة لانه لم يذكر أحاديث من السنة تصف قوم يأجوج ومأجوج حدثنا محمد بن بشر حدثنا محمد بن عمرو عن خالد بن عبد الله بن حرملة ، عن خالته ( رضي الله عنها ) مرفوعاً قالت : خطب رسول الله وهو عاصب رأسه من لدغة عقرب فقال : [ إنكم تقولون : لا عدو لكم ! وإنكم لن تزالوا تقاتلون حتى يأتي يأجوج ومأجوج عراض الوجوه ، صغار العيون ، صهب الشعور ، من كل حدب ينسلون ، كأن وجوههم المجان المطرقة"
If you read the books written about globalization "From Arabic Writers" you will find that each book talks about this issue but not in the finest details Imran Hussein talks about cause mainly the Book itself was about this. Yet the way he puts things together is not well connected in my opinion and could not be convinced until i read about it somewhere else
It gives a scientific indication of where Gag and Mgage are & when they are going to come up in our lives, it is kind of open minded thinking that no one yet wrote like it before so it worth reading and making a conclusion of Your own at the end!
الفكرة الاساسية لهذا الكتاب أجرأ وأحدث من العديد من الكتب تحت نفس التصنيف والبحث. لكن ربما كان الخلل في الصياغة ؟ بعض المعلومات والاحاديث تكررت واعطيت دور الصدارة بينما تم التغاضي عن امور كثيرة واحاديث عديدة .. بالاضافة لبعض النقص في المعلومات .. على العموم الفكرة الرئيسية جيدة.
