The Cave
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[18:94]
They said: "O thou Two-Horned One! Behold, Gog and Magog are spoiling this land. May we, then pay unto thee a tribute on the understanding that thou wilt erect a barrier between us and them?"

* v.94 : This is the form in which these names (in Arabic, Yājūj and Mājūj) have achieved currency in all European languages on the basis of certain vague references to them in the Bible (Genesis x 2, I Chronicles i 5, Ezekiel xxxviii 2 and xxxix 6, Revelation of St. John xx 8). Most of the post-classical commentators identify these tribes with the Mongols and Tatars (see note 100 below).
