Ya'jooj and Ma'joog (Gog & Magog) in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah
These creatures will let loose on Earth and create havoc AFTER Dajjal has been defeated. There are characters like Imran Hossein who believe that Gog & Magog are some in the white Caucasian (race) because they are stealing and pillaging the resources and wealth of other nations but it is his imagination. During the colonial era many Deobandi Scholars like Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri (RA) believed that British were Gog & Magog because of their colonial strength and quest for subjugation of others and exploitation.
Before Imran Hossein (hundreds of years ago) some speculated that Gog & Magog are Tatar (Mongols) who were brutal in their thirst for blood and conquest.
When China invaded India in 1962 (some Indian Scholars) believed that Chinese were Gog & Magog because India was simply overwhelmed by sheer number of Chinese troops.
My point is that in every era people have tried to stick the label of "Gog & Magog" on someone powerful.
Lets turn to Qu'raan and Sunnah.
Wall containing Gog & Magog
The King Dhul-Qarnain built a wall to contain Gog & Magog as mentioned in the Qu'raan. Before reading further know that King Dhul-Qarnain is certainly NOT "Alexander the Great"!

Suspension of Hajj due to Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Some have speculated that suspension of Hajj due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a sign of day of judgement. This is not the case because according to authentic narrations:
- Dajjal will emerge
- Dajjal will be killed
- Gog & Magog will emerge
- Gog & Magog will be killed
- THEN Hajj will be suspended
