21:96
Wisdom of Gog and Magog: These are the same living particles which are related to the world of particles. The way in which they are mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith is a tanzili example. Thus Gog and Magog are the general spiritual army who create destruction in the earth of the personal world so that after this destruction new construction can commence. But this army has to be stopped where there is no preparation for the spiritual revolution. The heights (21:96) from where the army of particles is going to come running, are the ranks of knowledge of the holy Imam of the time, namely, his physical and spiritual hudud. In this world there are three hundred thirteen great mumins and there are forty-seven candidates (for their rank), so that when one is elevated spiritually or passes away from this world, then one of them has to replace him. If we add 47 to 313, it becomes 360 which is the total number of the da'is of 12 jaza'ir (pi. of jazirah).
Ya'juj wa Ma'juj (The army of the lord of the time)
It is said in verse (21:96): "Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they will hasten out of every elevated place." That is, the atomic army or the army of particles will come out of the Imam and all other hudud under him and accomplish the work of spiritual jihad and inner resurrection.
