The Destruction of Israel in the Quran: Part 2

​The Children of Israeel  following the Exodus

​Following the first promise mentioned in Part 1, Bani Israeel never actually regained complete rule over the Holy land as an independent state, as they do today. Following the Exodus, when they were saved from Firoun, Allah Most High, ordered them to fight the enemies controlling the Holy land at the time to reclaim it. They refused the order of their Prophet and leader, Musa ( peace be upon him) and as a punishment were made to roam through the land as nomads for 40 years. Throughout history their offspring did enter the Holy land and settled there, but did not rule over it with unrestricted authority, as they do today.

Bani Israeel were scattered in small communities throughout the world. Also, History indicates that were a greatly persecuted nation. There are so many instances throughout history of mass genocide of the Israelites, especially at the hands of Christians, with the last recorded affliction to befall them being the holocaust in Germany in WWII.

This was prophesied in the Quran in no uncertain terms.   

Allah Most High says:

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا مِّنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَوْنَاهُم بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

And mention when your Lord declared that He would surely continue to send upon them ( Banu Israeel) until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

And We divided them throughout the earth into communities. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good times and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience]. 

[Surat Al-A'raf 7:167-168]

It is interesting to note that the good times mentioned in he ayah predominantly corresponded to the Jews living under Muslim rule during the Golden ages of Islam. 

As always, the Quran never places all jews in the same category: Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise.

Prior to the final promise

​Allah (SWT) says:

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا

Then we gave you once again your turn against them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower [Surat Al-Isra 17:6]

notice the conjunction ثُمَّ which denotes a lapse in time from the first destruction of Jerusalem. How much time this denotes can only really be understood with the passing of time and seeing how events have unfolded.

History indicates that the Jews never regained complete and dominating power of the Holy land, not up until 1948. The people they defeated to get power from them were the Muslims whose ancestors ( Egyptian, Assyrians and Babylonians) were the very same nations who destroyed Jerusalem the first time, hence the statement "Then We gave back to you a return victory over them"

For a state to be powerful, it requires 2 main resources: wealth and manpower. These are used to develop buildings and infrastructure as well as to have a trained army capable of attacking and defending itself.

"..And We reinforced you with wealth"

The resource of wealth is evident ever since the establishment of the modern Jewish State. Zionist Jews control a sizeable portion of the world banking system in the world today. Israel is probably the largest recipient of financial and technical aid from the West. Along with this they have stolen most of Palestine's land and resources.

"and sons"

Human resources are also required. Notice the ayah refers to بَنِينَ i.e. sons or men of youthful age, which is needed for the building of a state and strong military. That is not to say women will not be part of such an army, but their contribution will not to significant level as the men. Hence the word "Baneen" emphasises the importance of young men.

"and made you more numerous in manpower"

The word for Manpower in the ayah is نَفِيرًا which denotes an army that is sent to attack an opposing army. So this would indicate the great military might of the new Zionist state.

​The establishment of the Zionist state of Israel

Allah Most High says

​فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا الْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَالدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture while taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah , so will you not use reason?

[Surat Al-A'raf 7:169]

This Ayah speaks about a generation from Bani Israeel to come after who will inherit the scripture. Yet, all they would be interested in would be the lowly matters ( related to desires and worldly benefit) and  knowing full well of their sins saying: 
​
سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا 
 "It will be forgiven for us." (us- as the chosen people).

The next part is interesting:

​وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ
​And if an offer like it comes to them, they will take it.

This is a conditional sentence which indicates when an offer is made that they will accept it. However, the acceptance of this goes completely against  the scriptures. On top of this they attribute the lie ( of its legitimacy ) to Allah Most High. 

​Acceptance and legitimization of that which was forbidden was one of the main reasons for Allah Most High sending Isa (peace be upon him).  Their Rabbis had permitted Usury and other evils and their people followed them contravening the commands of Allah and making their Rabbis as their Lords. 

Another lie that was spread was that the Holy land was jewish land and they had a God given right to it. Zionism as a movement started in the late 1800's and began to take hold until the offer and of the British to establish a jewish zionist state in Palestine. Once again, those who legitimized it went against the teachings of their scripture and lied against Allah!

The Zionist state of Israel as many orthodox Jews believe is an illegitimate state and goes against their own scripture.  This is a short presentation by a jewish Rabbi speak about the truth regarding Zionism.

The second promise

​Allah Most High says

فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرً

Then when the final promise comes, [We will cause our slaves - i.e. the Muslims] to uncover the evil of your faces and they will enter the masjid , as they had entered the first time, and to destroy what had been elevated/constructed with total destruction." Surat Al Isra

As I explained earlier, the Classical Mufasireen did not have the knowledge of the future events in the Holy land.  Many of the modern day scholars of Tafsir , such as the famous Azahari Sheikh Muhammad Mutwaly Al Sha'rawy rA, have stated that the second of the promises has yet to appear and will in fact take place in the future with the destruction of Isreal.

Isreal has spent billions of dollars trying to portray itself as a democracy that is simply defending themselves from the aggression of the Muslims. Zionist own a large amount of media stations and outlets and are spreading their propaganda night and day. This can only go so far and they are losing supporters and sympathizers day by day. There will be a time soon when their evil will be made evident to the world.

لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ

to uncover the evil of your faces
​
Before re-entering the Masjid the ayah mentions the first step in the liberation of Masjid Al Aqsa and the Holy land which is a political step that involves exposing the evil of Banu Israeel (and their supporters from within the Muslim Ummah - the Qaruns of the Ummah). This would likely result in countries cutting ties with them, embargoes and/or stopping financial and military support for them. This would bring about an economic and military stagnation.  

The ayah continues

 وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ

and they will enter the masjid , as they had entered the first time.
 
Here there is emphasis on Masjid Al-Aqsa as opposed to the first promise which was an utter destruction of the Holy land by non-believing armies. The ayah speaks about the Muslims being able to enter the masjid as they were previously able to do so. This would indicate a period of time of the Muslims being barred from entering the Masjid (and likely expelled). 

When was the first time?

It is unclear but history mentions numerous times in History when Muslims entered the Masjid. The first time occurred during the reign of khilafa Umar ibn Al khataab rA.   The Muslims through history did lose the holy land but this was only temporarily and not at the hands of the Children of Israel, but rather the Christians. For the majority of the Islamic Khalifat the Muslims had full control over the holy land. 

A point to note is the ayah speaks about re-entering the masjid. We know the "slaves" sent in the first promise utterly destroyed the temple. Entering on the other hand denotes a sense of achievement and honouring from Allah most High. 

There is another opinion which indicates that the same people/generation to be expelled will also return as liberators. This could indicate that the destruction of Israel could take place very soon and begin with the expulsion of the Palestinians from the Holy land.

​Wa Allahu A'lam
