Jerusalem In Quran; Chapter-4; Book by Sheikh Imran N. Hosein

Israel Palestine Conflict is almost a 100 years old and recent development is only a precursor of what was planned a long time ago. Sheikh Imran N. Hosein has written the Book "Jerusalem in Quran" some two decades ago and he stated that the book could not have been written until this era, since it is only over the past few years that the concealed plans of the Jews have come so clearly into view that few can doubt that there is a Jewish plan for world domination. Here is Chapter-4, for the readers of Bangbox Online, for the alternate opinion on the matter that is falsely spread by Zionist Jews dominated media.

JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

By Imran N. Hosein

PART ONE

Chapter 4

THE QUR’AN DECLARED THAT THE HOLY LAND, INCLUDING JERUSALEM,

WAS GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES

“Remember Moses said to his people: O my People! Remember the favour of Allah unto you,

when He produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given

to any other among the peoples.

“O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah gave to you, and turn not back ignominiously,

for then will you be overthrown, to your own ruin.”

(Qur’an, al-Maidah, 5:20-1)

Daniel Pipes, in his article published in the Los Angeles Times (‘Jerusalem means

more to Jews than to Muslims’ July 21, 2000), attempts to dismiss the Islamic claim to

Jerusalem by declaring of Jerusalem, among other things, that: “It is not once

mentioned in the Qur’an or in the liturgy”.

It is true that the word ‘Jerusalem’ does not explicitly occur in the Qur’an, but that

appears to be in consequence of Divine Wisdom. The Qur’an refers to Jerusalem in an

enigmatic way (and appropriately so) as a city that was destroyed, its people expelled,

and banned from ever returning to reclaim it. The ban would remain in force until such

time when Gog and Magog come forth (see Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:95-6.) The Arabic

name for Jerusalem ‘Bait al-Maqdis’ occurs several times in the Ahadith. The Roman

name ‘Aelia’ also occurs in a very important prophecy of Prophet Muhammad

(sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).

It is amazing, really, that Dr. Pipes should have chosen to ignore those verses of the

Qur’an that unambiguously declared that the Holy Land (of which Jerusalem is the

very heart) was given by Allah Most High to the Jews. When Moses (‘alaihi al-Salam)

took the Israelite people out of slavery in Egypt, and they had miraculously crossed the

sea and entered Sinai, Moses (‘alaihi al-Salam) addressed them and ordered them to make

the effort to win control of the Holy Land. He said:

“Oh my people, enter into the Holy Land which Allah gave to you, and do not turn

back (since such will be a betrayal of your faith) for then you will be lost (which also

includes the loss of the Holy Land).”

“They replied: Oh Moses, there are ferocious people dwelling in that land, and we will

not enter it unless and until they depart from it. If they leave, then we will enter it”(see

also: Numbers 13:32-33).

“Then spoke two God-fearing men (Joshua and Caleb according to the Torah) who

had been blessed by Allah: Enter upon them by the gate (i.e., make a frontal attack)

for if ye enter by it, lo! You will be victorious. So put your trust (in Allah) if ye are

indeed believers.”

(Qur’an, al-Maida, 5:21-23)

The Jews responded to Moses (‘alaihi al-Salam) with an answer that was so insulting

that Allah Most High immediately prohibited their entry into the Holy Land:

“They said: O Moses! We will never enter (the Holy Land) while they are in it. So go

thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here. He said: My Lord! I have control over

none but my brother and myself so hold us apart from these sinful rebellious people.

“(Their Lord) said: For this (act of betrayal) the land (i.e., the Holy Land) will surely

be forbidden them for forty years. They will wander in the earth (Sinai) bewildered. So

grieve not (Moses) over these sinful rebellious people.”

(Qur’an, al-Maida, 5:24-6)

The Qur’an actually reconfirmed elsewhere the declaration that the Holy Land was

given to the Jews:

("Pharaoh) sought to wipe them [the Israelites] off the face of the earth. But We

(Allah) drowned him (Pharaoh) together with all who were with him. Then We (Allah)

said to the Israelites: ‘Dwell in security in the land (i.e., the Holy Land)’…”

(Qur’an, Banu Israil, 17:103-104)

and again:

“Whereas unto a people who (in the past) had been deemed utterly low (and of no

account), We gave as their heritage the Eastern and Western parts of the (Holy) Land

that We had blessed. And (thus) the fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the

Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy in adversity, whereas We

utterly destroyed all that Pharaoh and his people had wrought and all that they had

built (with such pride).”

(Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:137)

Again it amazes me that Jewish and Zionist scholarship should so studiously have

avoided quoting these plain statements in which the Qur’an declared that the Holy

Land was given to the Jews:

“Oh my people enter into the Holy Land which Allah gave to you….”

“Then We (Allah) said to the Israelites: ‘Dwell in security in the (Holy)

Land’….”

“We gave as their heritage the Eastern and Western parts of the (Holy) Land

that We had blessed.”

Our readers who sincerely seek the Truth in respect of the subject of the destiny of

Jerusalem should ponder over this reluctance on the part of Euro-Jewish, Zionist and

Israelite scholarship to refer to the Qur’an on this matter. This book offers an

explanation for that strange behavior. The explanation resides in their reluctance to

reveal the corruption of the divine conditions in the Torah which Allah Most High had

ordained for inheritance of the Holy Land. The fraud in the rewritten Torah is exposed

in the Qur’an. What was that fraud?
