ISRAELI HOLY LAND IN QURAN
It is stated in Torah /Bible & Quran that ALLAH /GOD/ELOHIM has enjoined & dedicated a holy promised land (land parts of Palastine -currently Israel- & surroundings )to the Israeli children in which they can live & prosper . In the following , we will look at the Quran verses mentioning& confirming this holy land subject
Q5;21
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ>>>>>>>> يَا قَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَكُمْ
Translation “ when Mussa said to his people >>>>>>> O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained to you”
The context of the Holy land dedication in Quran is as follows
- After ALLAH rescued Mussa & his people( the sons of Israel) from the Egypt Pharoah , then Mussa told his people to go to the holy land ordained by ALLAH to them whereby they will have a well being prosperous life
- This holy land as in Torah & Bible & history & all the Quranic Tafsir (interpretations) is “ Jerusalem ( Al kods) some land parts of Palastine (currently Israel) & surroundings of Jordan & Levant /Al Sham ” where their grand father Jacob (Israel) & his pedigree lived & which at a time was a kingdom of Dawood (David) , then his son Solaiman (Solomon) , see Quran tafsir by Tabary , Ben Kathir , Jalaleen , Qurtobi in below link
- Mussa warned his people not to turn back in fight,” [do not] retreat in fear of the enemy, or you will end up as losers”.However , the Israeli sons failed Mussa & they said “They said, ‘O Moses, there are giants in it, who were very tall and mighty; we will never enter it until they depart from it; if they depart from it then we will enter it.”
- Thus , He, God, exalted be He, said, to him: ‘Then it, the Holy Land, shall be forbidden them, to enter, for forty years; they shall wander lost, bewildered, in the land
- Years after the death of Mussa , came a Jewish Prophet –which Quran did not name but thought to be maybe Samuel or Joshua – this prophet was commanded to fight against the giants, so he sallied forth with those that chose to follow ALLAH orders to fight & remained by his side and he fought against the giants . This was when Dawood (David) the prophet of ALLAH killed his enemy leader (Goliath) the unbeliever who was the Palestine leader, retrieved the land & Dawood became the king over this holy land then he was inherited by his son king Solaiman (Solomon) with the well known SOLOMON KINGDOM
- Below are Quran verses depicting above
Q5;20-26
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّـهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَعَلَ فِيكُمْ أَنبِيَاءَ وَجَعَلَكُم مُّلُوكًا وَآتَاكُم مَّا لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾ يَا قَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَدُّوا عَلَىٰ أَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا خَاسِرِينَ ﴿٢١﴾ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنَّ فِيهَا قَوْمًا جَبَّارِينَ وَإِنَّا لَن نَّدْخُلَهَا حَتَّىٰ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَإِن يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَإِنَّا دَاخِلُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾ قَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِمَا ادْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمْ غَالِبُونَ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّـهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَن نَّدْخُلَهَا أَبَدًا مَّا دَامُوا فِيهَا ۖ فَاذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾ قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ إِلَّا نَفْسِي وَأَخِي ۖ فَافْرُقْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ۛ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ۛ يَتِيهُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ
Q2;246-251
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ مِن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ إِذْ قَالُوا لِنَبِيٍّ لَّهُمُ ابْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًا نُّقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ ۖ قَالَ هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ أَلَّا تُقَاتِلُوا ۖ قَالُوا وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِن دِيَارِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا
قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو اللَّـهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿٢٤٩﴾ وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٥٠﴾ فَهَزَمُوهُم بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُودُ جَالُوتَ وَآتَاهُ اللَّـهُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُ مِمَّا يَشَاءُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّـهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ اللَّـهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
Q 27;16
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ
Translation to above verses
Mussa commanding Israeli sons to enter the holy land & their declination to him & GOD punishment to them for this
- Q5:20-26 “And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember the favor of Allah upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds. O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allah ‘s cause] and [thus] become losers They said, “O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter. Said two men from those who feared [to disobey] upon whom Allah had bestowed favor, “Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant. And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers. They said, “O Moses, indeed we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here [Moses] said, “My Lord, indeed I do not possess except myself and my brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient people. Allah] said, “Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people.”
Israeili sons gaining the holy land at the time of David
- Q2:246-251 “Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, “Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah “? He said, “Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?” They said, “And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?” But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers. And their prophet said to them, “Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king.” They said, “How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?” He said, “Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing. And their prophet said to them, “Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, “Indeed, Allah will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand.” But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, “There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers.” But those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, “How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient. And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, “Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed”
- Q27:16 “ And Solomon inherited David”
7. Recapping above , we see from explicit Quran verses that Allah has ordained the holy land in Palastine to Israeili sons, , this gives the Israelis/Jews the right to live & prosper in this holy land either the state is run by them as Israeil or by palestenians as Palestine or there are two adjacent states, one for Israel the other Palestine . This also unveils & debunks the claim falsely attributed to Islam asking for “Jihad against Israel”, whilst Islam in Quran actually confirmed the Torah & Bible statements ordaining this land to the Jews. At the same time Jews who were privileged by Allah/Elohim must appreciate this & diligently obey His commands & defend their land right but without unjust retaliation or aggression to other non Jews land residents & avoid perpetrating major sins or spreading corruption & oppression in earth & act in a just fair ethical peaceful manner towards all land residents & humankind regardless of their belief as instructed in their Torah book , otherwise ALLAH anger will fall on them (the jews) & they will be humiliated & tortured once more same as what happened to them in the past , see Allah warning to Israelis Q 17;8
وَإِنْ عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا
translation “But if you return [to spreading corruption in earth ], We will return [to punishment].”——-
