Gog. Name of the tribes of barbarians near the Caspian sea.
M. Asad: Vague references to them in the Bible (Genesis x, 2, I Chronicles i, 5, Ezekiel 38, 2 and 39, 6, Revelation of St. John 20, 8). Most of the post-classical commentators identify these tribes with the Mongols and Tatars.

18:94
قَالُوا يَاذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجاً عَلَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدّا ً
Qālū Yā Dhā Al-Qarnayni 'Inna Ya'jūja Wa Ma'jūja Mufsidūna Fī Al-'ArĐi Fahal Naj`alu Laka Kharjāan `Alá 'An Taj`ala Baynanā Wa Baynahum Saddāan
They said: "O Two Horned One, Gog and Magog are destroyers of the land, so shall we make a tribute for you that you will make between us and them a barrier?"
21:96
حَتَّى إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَب ٍ يَنسِلُونَ
Ĥattá 'Idhā Futiĥat Ya'jūju Wa Ma'jūju Wa Hum Min Kulli Ĥadabin Yansilūna
Until Gog and Magog is opened, and from every elevated place they will race forth.
