S u rah al-Kahf, Chapter 18, Verses 108-111 234 Commentary The Holy Prophet sa is here commanded to say to the disbelieving Christian people that, even after having disclosed so many secrets of the unknown and having made great prophecies about the ultimate triumph of his cause and the downfall of Christian nations, he cannot claim to be a son of God or to have been endowed with divine powers. He is but a human being and his greatest merit lies in his being the bearer of the divine Message. If disbelievers too desire to be blessed with revelation, they should also give up associating false gods with All a h. Then will God bestow His favours upon them and lay open to them the treasures of heavenly secrets. The Holy Prophet sa is reported to have said that the recitation of the last ten verses of this chapter makes one secure against the spiritual onslaughts of the Dajj a l. This shows that the Dajj a l and Gog and Magog are one and the same people--- Christian nations of the West; the Dajj a l representing the evil aspect of their religious propaganda and Gog and Magog their material and political predominance.
