Gog och Magog nämns i både bibeln och koranen (Yaʾjūj wa-Maʾjūj). Ibland är de namn på personer och ibland folkslag. Ett exempel på hur de kan vara aktuella i modern tid är ett uttalande från den desillusionerade tidigare presidenten George W. Bush:

I koranen sura 18 verser 94-98 nämns att Gog och Magog sådde fördärv på jorden och därför blev instängda bakom en skyddsmur av järn och koppar av en mytologisk person som kallas den Två-hornade (tros syfta på Alexander den Stora). Vidare påstås att när domedagen närmar sig kommer muren att raseras och horderna från Gog och Magog kommer att släppas lösa.
I muslimernas mest betrodda hadithsamling Sahih al-Bukhari hittar vi följande hadith:
Frågan till muslimer är vart kan vi hitta den här muren? Och vart gömmer sig Gog och Magog? Och hur kommer det sig att de inte syns trots deras stora antal och dagens teknik med satelliter och annat? Vem var den Två-hornade?
En vanlig invändning är att mongolerna skulle vara skulle vara Gog och Magog men som man kan tyda från koranen och haditherna skulle detta utspela sig i samband med "den sista timmen" och Messias (Eesa) återkomst, al-Mehdi och Antikrist (al-Dajjal) och de andra av domedagens tecken. I Sahih Muslim, den andra mest erkända hadithsamling hittar vi följande hadith:

Citat:
President George W. Bush told Jacques Chirac that Gog and Magog were at work in the Middle East: "This confrontation is willed by God," he told the French leader, "who wants us to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins."[69] Chirac consulted a professor at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) to explain Bush's reference.[70]

Citat:
Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh: The Prophet got up from his sleep with a flushed red face and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe to the Arabs, from the Great evil that is nearly approaching them. Today a gap has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this." (Sufyan illustrated by this forming the number 90 or 100 with his fingers.) It was asked, "Shall we be destroyed though there are righteous people among us?" The Prophet said, "Yes, if evil increased."

"...Allah will send revelation upon Eesa (A.S.) that 'Such a creation of mine is now going to emerge that no power will be able to stop them. Therefore take my servants and ascend the Mount of Toor.' Then Ya'jooj and Majooj will emerge and surge forth in all their fury. When those from among them who constitute the former part of their army pass the lake of Tiberias (which is in northern Palestine), they will drink up all the water of that lake and by the time those that constitute the latter part of that same army pass the lake, they will say, "There used to be water here (long ago). When they reach the Mount of Khamr in Jerusalem, they will arrogantly proclaim: 'We have conquered the people of the earth, now we will annihilate those in the sky.' So saying they will fire their arrows towards the sky. When the arrows return to the ground they will be blood stained.
In the meantime, Eesa (A.S.) will be on the Mount of Toor with his followers. At that time the head of and ox will be as valuable as is a hundred dinars to you in this day. [This indicates the scarcity of provisions]. Faced with these hardships, Eesa (A.S.) and his followers will make dua unto Allah (to remove this calamity). As a result, Allah will cause sores to appear on the necks of each and every individual of these people which will cause their death suddenly. When Eesa (A.S.) and his followers descend from the Mount of Toor there will not be a single space on the land where the dead rotting bodies of these people is not littered, giving off a horrendous odour. Eesa (A.S.) and his followers will once more supplicate unto Allah as a result of which Allah will send down huge birds whose necks will be as thick as that of the necks of camels, and they will dump these bodies in a place where Allah wills. (According to a narration by Tirmidhi, they will be dumped at a place called Nahbal).
Allah Ta'ala will then send down a heavy rain, the waters of which will flow in every part of the earth cleansing it thoroughly. It will rain for a period of forty days.
The Muslims will then burn the bows and arrows of the Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj for a period of seven years.
Allah will order the earth to yield forth its crops in abundance and there will be such blessing and prosperity that one pomegranate will be sufficient for a whole group while the peel thereof will suffice to cast a shadow over them. The milk of one camel will be sufficient for many groups while one milk giving cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe. One milk giving goat will be sufficent for a whole family..."
