Our methodology of study requires us to locate the system of meaning which binds the totality of our data pertaining to the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day’ into a harmonious and integrated whole. That system of meaning, in turn, would allow us to identify those Ahadīth which are, or appear to be, in conflict or discord with the main body of data of the subject as derived from the Qur’ān and the Ahadīth. Since the Qur’ān has proclaimed that discrepancies, contradictions and discord would have been found in abundance within its text had it come from a source other than divine, the implication is that no contradictions (external or internal) exist in the text. Our method is therefore one of incrementally expanding on the system of meaning of the subject as derived from the Qur’ān by integrating into it those Ahadīth pertaining to ‘Signs of the Last Hour’ that are in harmony with the Qur’ān. We then exclude from our study such Ahadīth or interpretations of Ahadīth that are in contradiction or discord with that expanded system of meaning. Others who adopt a different methodology of study than the one here explained, and who may not wish to exclude such a Hadīth (or interpretation thereof) from their study, would perhaps arrive at conclusions different from ours. We found one such Hadīth in our study of this subject i.e. the Hadīth which has been understood to imply that Gog and Magog would be released only after Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salām) returns and only after he kills Dajjāl:
“. . . It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to
the mountain, fa yab’athullahu Y’ajūja wa M’ajūj (and then Allah Most High will send or raise Gog and Magog) and they will spread out in every direction or occupy every place of advantage. The first of them will
pass by Lake Tiberias (i.e. the Sea of Galilee) drink out of it, and when the last of them passes, he will say: ‘There was once water here . . . .’”
(Sahīh Muslim)
A deficient methodology which focused on this solitary standalone Hadīth led many to conclude that Allah Most High would release Gog and Magog into the world (and hence destroy or level the barrier built by Dhul Qarnain) only after Jesus (’alaihi al-Salām) returns and kills Dajjāl. But the Hadīth uses the word send or raise. It does not use the word ‘release’.

The first of them will pass by Lake Tiberias (i.e. the Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it and when the last of them would pass (and that would have to be a very long time later), he will say: ‘There was once water here . . . .’”
(Sahīh Muslim)
This Hadīth has been almost universally understood to state or imply that the release of Gog and Magog into the world cannot take place until Jesus (‘alaihi as-Salām) has returned and has killed Dajjāl. This book rejects the use of such a defective methodologywhich focuses attention on a solitary Hadīth interpreted in a way that nullifies all the evidence to the contrary that has been amassed from both the Qur’ān and Ahadīth.

- Would Gog and Magog be sent/raised after Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salam) has returned and after he has killed Dajjal? (Hadīth)
