Chapter 13

THE QUR’ÂN AND THE DESTINY OF JERUSALEM

“ …. but if ye revert (to your violation of the condition imposed for inheritance of the Holy

Land) We shall revert (to Our punishments. i.e., you will be expelled again and again) . . .”

(Qur’an, Banu Israil, 17:8)

Prophet Muhammad said: “Prophethood will last among you as long as Allah wishes it to last,

and then Allah will raise it. Afterwards there will be the Khilafah according to the ways of the

Prophethood as long as Allah wishes to last, then Allah will raise it. Afterwards there will be

hereditary rule (by consent) and it will last as long as Allah wishes, then Allah will raise it.

Afterwards there will be biting oppression and it will last as long as Allah wishes, then Allah

will raise it. Afterwards there will be a Khilafah according to the ways of Prophethood and then

the Prophet was silent"

(Musnad, Ahmad bin Hanbal)

After punishing the Jews by expelling them from the Holy Land for a second time,

Allah Most High declared His intention to keep on punishing them if they kept on

desecrating the Holy Land with violations of the condition of faith and righteous

conduct:

“…but if ye revert (to your violation of the condition imposed for inheritance of the

Holy Land) We shall revert (to Our punishments, i.e., you will be expelled again and

again)….”

(Qur’an, Banu Israil, 17:8)

The destiny of Jerusalem is plainly written in the above warning in the Qur’an.

Regardless of agreements negotiated between the secular nationalist representatives of

the Palestinian people and the secular nationalist European Jewry who presume to

represent the Israelite ‘seed’ of Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam), Banu Israil, the destiny of

Jerusalem is plainly visible in the context of the godlessness, decadence and

oppression now polluting the Holy Land. The most extraordinary is the state of

godlessness and the abandonment of the religious way of life. A recent editorial in the

Jerusalem Post has this to say: For too many Israelis, Jewishness has become an

archaic, primitive, and irrelevant system that competes for power and funding, and

even a source of embarrassment for an intellectually-oriented modern society

(Jerusalem Post, September 12, 2000).

Among the Divine ‘Signs’ shown to Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)

during his miraculous visit to Jerusalem was revealed to him the destiny of Jerusalem.

Not surprisingly this matter seems to have escaped the attention of Daniel Pipes, who,

like so many other Jews, seems not to hear the ‘stones’ of the intifada that have

already begun to speak in the Holy Land.

The Qur’an has clearly established a destiny of Jerusalem that would witness

Muslims resuming their rule over Jerusalem which began shortly after the death of the

Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), and continuing uninterruptedly for a few hundred

years. When the Euro-Christian crusaders conquered Jerusalem they were allowed a

brief rule of about eighty years before the destiny of Jerusalem prevailed. A Muslim

army defeated the Crusaders and the rule of Muslims over the Holy Land was

resumed. Again, it continued uninterruptedly for a few hundred years until when, by

Divine plan, the Jews were to be brought back to the Holy Land. It is hardly likely that

the present Jewish rule would last for more than eighty years, and Allah Knows best.

A Muslim army will then defeat the Jews, and Muslim rule will be restored. Allah

Most High declared as much when He spoke in the Qur’an:

“Allah has promised to those among you who believe (in Islam) and are righteous in

conduct that He will surely cause them to inherit the land (i.e., the Holy Land), as He

granted it to those before them (i.e., the Jews); that He will establish their religion

(i.e., Islam) in authority (in the Holy Land), the (religion) which He has chosen for

them (see Qur’an, al-Maidah, 5:3); and that He will change (their state) after the fear

in which they (lived) to one of security and peace: ‘They will worship Me (alone) and

not associate aught with Me.’ If any do reject faith after this they are rebellious and

wicked.”

(Qur’an, al-Nur, 24:55)

When the Qur’an referred to the state of fear in which the believers live it must

surely include the present awesome Israeli oppression in the Holy Land. The Qur’anic

verse also makes clear that the only Muslims who will participate in the coming

inheritance of the Holy Land are those who worship Allah alone and who do not

commit Shirk. The PLO has no part of that community of those who remain faithful to

Allah, Most High.

This promise of the Qur’an is also confirmed by the Prophet (‘alaihi al-Salam) in the

following Hadith:

“Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (‘alaihi al-Salam) said: Black banners shall emerge

from Khorasan (i.e. an area which is now included in Afghanistan, Pakistan and a little in Iran

and Central Asia), and no force will be able to stop them until they are inserted in Aelia

(Jerusalem).”

(Sunan Tirmidhi)

The Qur’an also provides the moral justification for that ‘armed struggle’. The God

of Abraham Himself declared that He has authorized warfare for the purpose of

responding to oppression which witnesses a people being driven out of their homes

and out of the land in which they live for no just cause other than that they are

Muslims:

“To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are

wronged; and verily, Allah is Most Powerful for their aid; “(They are) those who have

been expelled from their homes in defiance of right, (for no cause) except that they

say, "Our Lord is Allah.”

(Qur’an, al-Hajj, 22:39-40)

It is the destiny of Jerusalem that a Muslim army will destroy the State of

Israel and the Messiah (Jesus the son of Mary) will then rule over mankind from

Jerusalem as a Just Ruler. Jesus, the Messiah (‘alaihi al-Salam), would ‘rule’ the world

from the Islamic State that would be established in the Holy Land at that time and in

place of the imposter Zionist Jewish State of Israel.

It is also the destiny of Jerusalem that before the above can occur the Jewish State of

Israel must become the ‘ruling state’ of the world. Israel will ‘rule’ over the world for

a period of a day that would be like a week. At the end of that period the False Messiah

would then himself appear with his day like our day. At that time the water in the Sea

of Galillee would have dried up. Dajjal would ‘rule’ the world from Jerusalem and so

fulfil his mission of impersonating the true Messiah. After Dajjal appears in person it

is then that Imam al-Mahdi will appear.

The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) spoke about this event in the following Hadith:

“Prophet Muhammad said: Prophethood will last among you as long as Allah wishes it to last,

and then Allah will raise it. Afterwards there will be the Khilafah according to the ways of the

Prophethood as long as Allah wishes to last, then Allah will raise it. Afterwards there will be

hereditary rule (by consent) and it will last as long as Allah wishes, then Allah will raise it.

Afterwards there will be biting oppression and it will last as long as Allah wishes, then Allah

will raise it. Afterwards there will be a Khilafah according to the ways of Prophethood and then

the Prophet was silent"

(Musnad Ahmad bin Hambal)

Dajjal would attack the Imam in Damascus, and Jesus the true Messiah, would then

descend and kill Dajjal the false Messiah. After Dajjal is killed it would be at that time

that the last of Y’ajuj and M’ajuj are released and they pass by the Sea of Galillee

declaring, “there used to be water here”. Y’ajuj and M’ajuj would pursue Jesus the

Messiah to a mountain in Jerusalem and Allah would command Jesus to climb the

mountain. Y’ajuj and M’ajuj would then boast that they have killed those who are on

earth and they now turn to kill those who are in the heavens. They shoot their arrows

up into the sky and Allah allows the arrows to return with blood upon them. Jesus the

Messiah would then pray to Allah to destroy Y’ajuj and M’ajuj and Allah would

destroy them with insects that attack them at the back of their necks.

When Y’ajuj and M’ajuj are destroyed the dominant ‘white world order’ will

crumble and the modern world of scientific and technological wonders will collapse.

This book anticipates that that event is not more than another fifty years away. It is at

that time that the Muslim army would emerge from Khorasan and would then face the

Jews on a level battle field. The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) declared in a Hadith

that is located in both Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim that Muslims would then fight

the Jews. Here are his words:

“You will surely fight the Jews, and you will surely kill them. (And this will continue) until

(even) the stones will speak (saying): Oh Muslim! There is Jew hiding behind me so come and

kill him.”

(Sahih, Bukhari)

“Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger said: The Last Hour would not come unless the

Muslims fight against the Jews. The Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide

themselves behind a stone or a tree, and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of

Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say (such),

for it is the tree of the Jews.”

(Sahih Muslim)

It is a very simple matter indeed to eliminate those scholars of Islam who are

incapable of providing true guidance in this age. They would be scholars who would

never, or hardly ever, publicly quote the above Hadith.

The destiny of Jerusalem is such as to give to Muslims the greatest confidence and

hope that Truth will triumph over falsehood and oppression.
