characterized by the cow incident (Qur’ān, al-Baqarah, 2:67-73):Allah ordered them to slaughter a cow and hit the victim's bodywith its parts. The victim temporarily came back to life and namedhis killers (qataltum nafsan, you [plural] killed a person). Thewhole community of the Children of Israel had conspired to coverup who did it (wallahu mukhrijun ma kuntum taktumoon, and Allahwill bring out what you [plural] were concealing).In the Qur’ān, the Children of Israel (banu isra'eel) also arereferred to as Jews (al-yahood) or the People of the Scripture (ahlal-kitab). This last term also refers to Christians. Sometimes thecontext of the Qur’ān determines which community is meant, butsometimes it is left open to refer to both communities.Allah also tells us that “a group from among the People of theScripture” (the context implies that these are either all Jews or asubgroup of them) abandoned the Torah and adopted in its placethe recitations of jinn satans (ma tatloo ash-shayaateen, Qur’ān, al-Baqarah 2:101-102). These recitations may be included in theTalmud, one of the holy books of Judaism.Moreover, Allah tells us that all Jews (al-yahood) collectivelywork hard (yas'awna, plural) to create fasaad (wa yas'awna fil ardifasaadan, Qur’ān, al-Maa'idah 5:64). This includes religiousfasaad and all other kinds of fasaad. Righteous People of theScripture (righteous Jews), the exception to this rule, are those whoaccept the Qur’ān (Aal 'Imraan 3:113-115).Based on the above arguments, I conclude that the humansatans who lead Gog and Magog and the fasaad groups that workfor them must belong to the Children of Israel who follow therecitations of jinn satans.33
