Zainab said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though amongst us there are pious people? ' He said, 'Yes, if evil increases." Narrated by Um Salama: The Prophet woke up and said, "Glorified be Allah: What great (how many) treasures have been sent down, and what great (how many ) afflictions have been sent down!" {Sahih Bukhari, Volume #4, Book #56, Number #797})

In Surah al-Kahf of the Qur'an (Chapter 18 entitled 'the Cave'), as well as in Prophetic commentary (Ahadith), Gog and Magog are described as two people who descended from father Adam (alahi salam) and who were created by Allah Most High, and endowed with great power.
"None but I can destroy them", said Allah (in Sahih Muslim)
Surah al-Kahf has described how they were contained behind an iron barrier because they used their power to commit acts of Fasad (acts of wickedness, oppression, corruption). The Surah also implied that they would use power to wage war on those who lived lives of faith and righteousness, and that they would act malevolently against those who lived the primitive way of life.
The Surah went on to inform that when the Last Age commenced, "Allah would bring down the barrier" and Gog and Magog (who are a major sign of the Last Age) would be released into the world. Surah al-Anbiyah then revealed that they would eventually "spread out in every direction" - indicating that with their invincible power they would take control of the whole world and for the first time in history, one people would rule all of mankind:
He [Dhul-Qarnain] said: "This (wall) is a mercy from my Lord: but when the warning of my Lord comes to pass, He will reduce it to dust (and Gog and Magog would thus be released into the world); and the promise of my Lord is true."
(Qur'an, 18:98)
"But there is a ban on a town (Jerusalem) which We have destroyed: that they (the people [Bani Israel/Children of Israel] of the town) shall not return (to reclaim that town as their own); until Gog and Magog are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly spread out in every direction (replicating themselves amongst all the peoples of the world)."
(Qur'an, 21:95-96)
In Surah al-Anbiyah above, the Qur'an referred one more time to Gog and Magog while making mention of a 'town' that Allah destroyed, and its people were expelled and then banned from returning to reclaim that 'town' as their own until Gog and Magog were released and had spread out in every direction. Those whose spiritual vision is illumined by 'light' that comes from Allah Most High can recognize both the 'town' and the Gog & Magog world order. That light gives them the capacity to penetrate the 'internal reality' of things.
The 'town' is Jerusalem.
