Are Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj humans?

I will recount one of the Prophet Muhammad’s hadiths, peace be upon him, from Sahih Bukhari 4741:

Allah orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire.’ Adam will say, ‘O Lord! Who are the mission for the (Hell) Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of each thousand, take out 999.’ At that time every pregnant female shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of Allah.” (When the Prophet Muhammad mentioned this), the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in color) whereupon the Prophet Muhammad said, “From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine will be taken out and one from you.”

That’s how we know they’re human and descended from Adam’s offspring. We also learned from this narration that there are a lot of them. They are so populous that, if we had to put it into a single calculation, it would be 999 versus 1 (999 ya’jooj and ma’jooj against one man).

Are Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj caucasians?

No, caucasions are not ya’jooj and ma’jooj. Here are some reasons:

First of all, the wall that is built would be broken down by Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj themselves, and nobody can cross it. As this hadith states this:

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Gog and Magog people dig every day until, when they can almost see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: “Go back and we will dig it tomorrow.” Then Allah puts it back, stronger than it was before. (This will continue) until, when their time has come (The end of this world), and Allah wants to send them against the people, they will dig until they can almost see the rays of the sun, then the one who is in charge of them will say: “Go back, and we will dig it tomorrow if Allah wills.’ So they will say: “If Allah wills.” Then they will come back to it and it will be as they left it. So they will dig and will come out to the people, and they will drink all the water. The people will fortify themselves against them in their fortresses. They will shoot their arrows towards the sky and they will come back with blood on them, and they will say: “We have defeated the people of earth and dominated the people of heaven.” Then Allah will send a worm in the napes of their necks and will kill them thereby.'” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the beasts of the earth will grow fat on their flesh.”

– Sunan Ibn Majah 4080

This makes it abundantly clear that when Allah wills it, the wall will fall down by themselves. Now, if we say that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are caucasions, then Muslims had fought a lot of battles against Russians (a Caucasian country). And when a war happens, of course the army has to cross the boundary walls. If Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are caucasions, then Muslims have already defeated them several times and even ruled upon them.

2. Furthermore, from the hadith that is narrated above, we got to know that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj will be extremely large in number (so large that they will drink all the water) Here is another reference from chapter number 21 (Surah Al-Anbiya) of Quran ,verse 96:

“until Gog and Magog are let loose, and begin swooping from every mound”

In other words, they will be so large in number that they will come down from every hill. Caucasions aren’t very robust, populous, or able to consume all the water; therefore, it is illogical to claim that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are Caucasian.

3. Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj will come down like swamps. What kind of caucasions are similar to swamps?
