Is Russia ‘Rum’ in the Qur’an? - Sheikh Imran Hosein

This is Sheikh Imran Hosein’s personal understanding; scholars differ. In this candid interview, the speaker responds directly to being labeled a “conspiracy theorist” and explains why he rejects the term outright. He argues that such labels are often used to silence dissenting voices, insisting that his worldview is rooted in the Qur’an as the absolute Word of God. For him, the measure of truth is not popularity or media approval—but revelation. The discussion explores: • What the term “conspiracy theorist” really implies • Why he avoids public scholarly debates • His interpretation of Gog and Magog (Ya’juj & Ma’juj) • Why he considers them human beings—not mythical creatures • His claim that Gog and Magog relate to modern Western power • Israel, geopolitics, and October 7 • Syria, resistance movements, and regional shifts • Russia as “Rum” in Qur’anic prophecy • The idea of end-times global power realignment • His final reflection on legacy and remembrance The interview moves from theology to geopolitics, from Qur’anic exegesis to contemporary world affairs—framed through an eschatological lens. Whether one agrees or disagrees, the conversation raises major questions about narrative, power, prophecy, and how Muslims interpret unfolding events. #GogAndMagog #ImranHosein #EndTimes #IslamicEschatology #MiddleEast #Russia #Israel #Quran #Geopolitics #YaJujMaJuj
