Israel & India - Yajooj and Majooj (Gog and Magog)

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

Surah Al-Kahf (18:94-97) mentions Yajooj and Majooj very clearly, without any ambiguity, i.e they are humans not some supernatural beings. They are mentioned as corrupt people who spread corruption on land. They are mentioned collectively belonging to the same geographical area, but the exact area is not clearly mentioned in Quran.

These days almost every talk show host is talking about end of time prophesies. I am not a talk show host but I have made a curious observation which I would like to share with you. It is a well-known fact that the ruling elite of Israel is basically Ashkenazi Jews who originated from the area which is currently known as the Caucasus region. Their birth names are eastern European names, here is a list of Israeli prime ministers: Benjamin Netanyahu’s birth name is Benjamin Mileikowsky, Golda Meir was Golda Mabovitch / Meyerson, Ariel Sharon was Ariel Scheinermann, Moshe Sharett was Moshe Shertok.

Now jump completely to the other side of Caucasus region, i.e towards India. According to recent genetic studies, many Brahmins are genetically linked to the same area, i.e Caucasus region.  Here I mention only two: “The genetic history of the Southern Arc: A bridge from West Asia to Europe” (Lazaridis et al., 2022). The study argues that the ancestry that eventually became "Steppe" ancestry (which is highly prevalent in Brahmins) actually originated in the Caucasus/West Asian region. This places the "ancestral home" of the linguistic and genetic markers found in Brahmins directly in the Caucasus. The second study: “The formation of human populations in South and Central Asia” (Narasimhan et al., 2019). The study showed that Brahmins have the highest ratio of "Steppe" to "Indus Valley" ancestry in India, both of which trace their roots back to the geographic region of the Caucasus and the adjacent Eurasian Steppe.

I asked the following question to Google Gemini “how would you describe the cultural affinity between the current ruling elites of India and Israel” and got the following response: “The cultural and ideological affinity between the current ruling elites of India and Israel is often described as a "Civilizational Alignment." This goes beyond simple trade or defense; it is rooted in a shared worldview that sees both nations as ancient civilizations undergoing a modern "reawakening.” This response is not from some Muslim Imam pushing his eschatological narrative on Youtube to rake up likes on his podcast. This is from a leading American based AI tool. Now I leave it up to you to ponder over the “reawakening” of the "Civilizational Alignment."

Why SA wanted Iran to be attacked?

In addition to the historical rivalry there is a more subtle reason. In the recent few months, we have witnessed the skirmish between SA and UAE. Then Ahmed bin Othman al-Tuwaijri, a Saudi “intellectual” published an article in which he asserted that UAE is a trojan horse of Israel https://www.al-jazirah.com/2026/20260122/fe3.htm If one is looking for a live example of the proverb "The pot calling the kettle black" than this article is the best example of it.  Who has any doubt about the relationship between SA and Israel? Contrary to the claims of the author, this article was not some independent thought of some independent “intellectual”. No one can write such an article in SA without the blessing of MBS. Why did MBS allow this article to be published? Because in the mind of MBS, UAE is trying to out smart him and as such needs to be cut down to size. MBS knows that UAE is basically a huge shopping mall and would not be able to sustain a few days of war. UAE is 88% foreign nationals, and they will fly back to their countries if the shopping mall is hit. The latest report by CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/28/middleeast/dubai-airport-uae-iran-attacks-intl-hnk states “Dubai was almost unrecognizable on Sunday. On a winter weekend – peak tourist season – the city’s beaches, malls and hotel brunches would normally be full. Instead, highways were largely empty and…..” Here is the situation of a public beach in Dubai.

SA on the other hand is huge and can sustain a few barrages of missiles and drones. This war in MBS’s mind is the proverbial, killing two birds with one stone. Directly attacking UAE, a neighbor Arab/Muslim country, would look bad. Let Israel do it, that has the added benefit of being able to show sympathy at some later appropriate time. Just like mafia boss going to the funeral of his victim and shedding tears. But what MBS does not realize or does not care is that the greater Israel project includes significant parts of SA.

Basant, Hunger Games and our religious parties

 

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent and Merciful.

This week Lahore is in the grip of Basant fever. Almost every billboard has Basant related promotion on it. Motorcycles are being fitted with protective sticks. Doctors in government medical colleges, even those teaching basic sciences, are being told to come to duty on the weekend, rooftops are being rented for millions of Rupees etc. It got me thinking about a 2012 movie “The Hunger Games”. The movie portrayed a dystopian society where the Capitol maintains power by forcing children from oppressed districts to fight to the death as televised entertainment, turning survival into spectacle. I cannot help but see the parallels in our Basant. The rich will have lavish parties with their friends and families on their rooftops and yell bo-kata after every “payche”. The children of the poor will run after the kites after every bo-kata. While pursuing the kite they may fall in open gutter (which don’t exist in our city) hit a vehicle, fight with each other as to who caught it first. In all of this, just like in the movie, they have a high probability of getting injured or even death. While they are participating in this hunger game the other side will continue enjoying its rooftop parties, completely oblivious to what is happing down below.

I don’t have any expectation from our secular parties to confront this so-called traditional festival but I expected the religious parties and the ulema to forcefully speak against it. But unfortunately, the response is not as strong as it should be. Is it the first result of the Rs 25K that the government of Punjab plans to pay to ulema? Or is there something else behind the scene? I don’t know but would like to know.

Quran and the man Israel tried to kill

 In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

One of the most important targets in the assassination attempt that was conducted on September 9, 2025 by Israel was Khaled Meshaal, but he survived. What many people probably don’t know about him is that this is not the first time Israel tried to assassinate him. In September of 1997 six agents of Mossad went to Amman, Jordan on fake Canadian passports armed with fentanyl, a lethal toxin. On the morning of September 25, they delivered the toxin to Khaled Meshaal via an aerosol device and then tried to escape the crime scene. Fortunately, his body guards caught two of them. Upon investigation they revealed their plan. The then king of Jordan, king Hussain asked Netanyahu (who was the prime minister of Israel at that time also) to send the antidote of the toxin. Bill Clinton, the then president of USA, compelled Netanyahu to comply with king Hussain’s request, which he grudgingly did. Under the deal, Israel not only provided the antidote but released the ailing Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the quadriplegic founder and spiritual leader of Hamas along with 70 other Palestinian prisoners. As mentioned in Quran “And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.” (3:145) Israeli plan failed and Khaled Meshaal left the hospital alive. After his recovery Khaled Meshaal became famous as a living martyr.

Fast forward 28 years and Israel, again under the leadership of Netanyahu, attempted to kill Khaled Meshaal. Once again Allah demonstrated to the world that “And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.”. Once again, he came out alive and once again Netanyahu is humiliated. These are signs of Allah for believers to not loose hope and have trust in Allah. Unfortunately, majority of the leaders of Muslim countries, especially Arabs, are cowards who think that if they become friends of Israel their lives will be safe. More unfortunate is the role of our religious scholars who do not highlight these things.

Likely destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

The Zionists are losing public opinion fast, especially among young generation. See the unbelievable rise of Zohran Mamdani in NY ( https://www.zohranfornyc.com/ ). This is happening at such a pace and across the board that even mainstream media pundits like Piers Morgan have to change their stand on Gaza. People like Tucker Carlson are now openly challenging Israeli lobby in America ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXzejeBP4AY ). This shift in public opinion cannot be reversed easily. The Zionists and their intellectual fathers, the Christian Zionists, now realize that their narrative is fast loosing ground. If they have to fulfil their messianic dream of greater Israel and the building of third temple, they have to do it now or they won’t get another chance any time soon. The part about greater Israel is complete in reality, all the rulers in what constitute greater Israel are basically governors appointed/approved by Israel. If you have any doubt about it just consider who intercepted the missiles launched by Iran towards Israel. The only missing piece is the building of third temple. For that the time is running out. The collation of shameless sunni/arab leaders in and around middle-east that they have made over the last couple of decades might not hold very long. Most people probably don’t remember that in 2019 there was a fire at Al-Aqsa mosque (https://www.newarab.com/news/al-aqsa-mosque-catches-fire-notre-dame-cathedral-burns ) because the rest of world was focused on Notredame fire. We don’t know if it was accidental or deliberate but the lack of concern from our side demonstrated to Isreal that it can be done again. So, it is very likely that Israel will create another “accidental” fire or something to bring down the Al-Aqsa mosque in the next six months to a year.   

AI, Job Opportunities and Ethics

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful 

A couple of days ago I recommended a student of mine to a very dear friend of mine (Dr. Mohammad Zubair, a very dedicated alim) for an entry level IT position in his organization. The feedback I got from Dr. Zubair was far from flattering. The problem was not lack of technical skill, but ethical. My student lied about his projects. The IT members of Dr. Zubair’s team were of the opinion that they can teach and enhance the technical abilities of someone but cannot fix the ethical shortcomings of a person.

You may ask what does this has to do with AI? Plenty. Everyone knows that AI is

Anti Hamas demonstrations and anti-Shia slogans in Gaza

 By now you might have heard or read (https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/26/middleeast/why-gazans-are-protesting-hamas-now-intl-latam/index.html) that Anti Hamas demonstrations took place in Gaza. The superficial reason given is that people of Gaza are demoralized and fed-up with the current situation, blame both Hamas & Israel for their misery and want Hamas to leave Gaza. Obviously, Israel will be glad at these supposedly spontaneous demonstrations. But these demonstrations are anything but spontaneous. The actors involved in these demonstrations are not new they are the traitors cultivated by America, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE for decades (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/04/gaza200804 ) waiting in shadows for any opportunity to take back control from Hamas. Nothing new so far, the new and really evil aspect is the anti-Shia slogans which were raised by these murderous traitors masquerading as simple demonstrators. These evil people would happily burn the Muslim ummah in sectarian flames to get into power. But despite their nefarious objectives and the genocide unleashed by Israel, overwhelming majority of Palestinians inside and outside of Gaza still support Hamas.
