Gog and Magog in Islam
In the Qur'an, in Surat al-Kahf (83-98), it is written that Dhul-Qarnayn (the one with two horns) — who because of ambiguity has been conjectured to refer to various historical figures including Cyrus the Great, Darius the Great and Alexander the Great — travelled in three directions, meeting each time villagers who complained about Gog and Magog (Ya'jooj Wa Ma'jooj or يأجوج و مأجوج, in Arabic, Yecüc-Mecüc in the Turkish spelling). First, to where the twin suns rise (to the east); second, to where the twin suns set (to the west); and a third direction, which is not specified in the Qur'an, between two mountain chains where a folk were living on the foothill, and to the north dwelt Gog and Magog (sometimes transliterated from Arabic as Yajuj and Majuj), who continuously attacked the southern people. They are believed to be two tribes of wild and destructive nature.
When Dhul-Qarnayn arrived at the third location, that folk complained about the tribes and offered Dhul-Qarnayn a tribute to build a wall between them so that Gog and Magog would not bother them anymore. Believing his reward would be from God, Dhul-Qarnayn refused the tribute but agreed to build the wall. He constructed the wall out of iron and then poured melted copper over it, making it difficult to climb or dig under. This stopped Gog and Magog from threatening the people for a certain time. There is an opinion that this wall might be in the Caucasus Mountains at Dariel Pass. According to the Islamic scholar, Mufti Ebrahim Desai, they are situated in a land of ice.
The Gog and Magog attempt to break through the iron wall every day, but when night falls and they are near escape, they stop and say to each other "we will finish it tomorrow". The next day when they wake up, they see that all the work they had done had become undone while they slept. This scenario continues every day until the day they say "we will finish tomorrow, in sha allah" (in sha allah meaning by the will of God) before they sleep, and thus when they awaken, they will finish their work and break out. It is also said that when the worker says "in sha Allah", he will not be saying it because he believes in God (Arabic:Allah), but because he is having a conversation with his son who will be named "InshaAllah".
They are also mentioned in the sayings of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, as the sign of the nearness of the Doomsday, and that they will destroy the civilizations (The Books of Sahih Al Bukhari and Sahih Al Muslim).
"But when Gog and Magog are let loose and they rush headlong down every height (or advantage)" (Quran 21:97)
They will emerge during the reign of Jesus, and will be vast in number drinking up the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates. It is said that God divided mankind into ten parts- nine tenths constitute Gog and Magog while the remaining tenth constitutes the rest of mankind. Some Muslim Scholars like Abul kalam Azad, Sayed Moududi and Tibri believe that they were Mongols, who were always raiding and destroying the Persian and Indian civilisations, and finally destroyed the Muslim dynasty of Baghdad and Khwarzam (central Asia).
Others, following Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir, who located the tribes of Gog and Magog between the Black Sea and the Caspian, argue that this refers to the Khazars of that region who largely converted to Judaism in the ninth century.

They are in the Bible, too.
The tradition of Gog and Magog begins in the Bible with the reference to Magog, son of Japheth, in the Book of Genesis and continues in cryptic prophecies in the Book of Ezekiel, which are echoed in the Book of Revelation. The ambiguity of this tradition cannot be overstated. Even the nature of these entities differs greatly between sources. They are variously presented as men, supernatural beings (giants or demons), national groups, or lands. Gog and Magog appear in the Qur'an and occur widely in mythology and folklore.

I have heard it explained that Gog and Magog are cities in what is now Russia, not people.
