Transliteration:( Hattaaa izaa futihat Ya'jooju wa Ma'jooju wa hum min kulli hadabiny yansiloon )
"Until [149], when Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj [150], would be let loose and they would be coming down from every height."
This means that the destruction of the disbelievers will continue until the time Gog and Magog (Yajooj and Majooj) are released. That moment marks the final limit of such destruction. Other interpretations also exist.
Gog and Magog are two massive tribes, making up 90% of mankind, while the rest of humanity forms only 10%. When released, they will drink up the water of the oceans due to their overwhelming numbers.
