It should now be clear that this subject is particularly
important for all those Muslims who must comment on, or respond to, the rapidly
evolving awesome drama in Jerusalem. As long ago as 1974 the late Dr. Kaleem
Siddiqui, founder-President of the
Muslim Institute for Research and Planning in London, urged this writer to
produce precisely this book that would demonstrate that Jerusalem is the key to
the understanding of the historical process as it manifests itself today.
The Qur’anic view that emerges from this book clearly establishes that it is
not possible for anyone to truly understand the modern world unless one can
also penetrate the reality of Jerusalem today!
The modern West wants an Islam to be adopted that
will, among other things, accommodate the Jewish State of Israel and pave the
way for Muslims to embrace it and make peace with it... This book has provided
the Islamic response to that strategic goal of the West, a response that is based
firmly on the Qur’an and the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam). This book has revealed that there will never be peace
at any time in the future between the true followers of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) and the Jewish State of Israel, and that the true followers
of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) will eventually triumph
over the oppressor Israel and liberate the Holy Land of Israel’s
oppression.
The most important of all subjects dealt with in the Qur’an
that must be taught in Islamic educational institutions today is the subject of
‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’. It is with this subject more than any other
that Muslims can successfully respond to the present attack of the godless
world which forces upon them such modification of the faith as would
accommodate Israel. Professor Dr. Isma‘il Raji Faruqi, the distinguished
Palestinian scholar of Islam who was assasinated because he was a thorn in
Israel’s side, warned Muslims of this danger:
“The problem of Israel confronting the Muslim World today
has neither precedent nor parallel in Islamic history. The Muslim World has
tended to regard it as another instance of modern colonialism, or at best, a
repetition of the Crusades.The
difference is not that Israel is neither one of these, but that it is both and
more, much more. Unfortunately, there is no Islamic literature on the
subject.The need for this analysis of
the problem is, therefore, as great as the present moment which calls upon the
Arab World in particular and the Muslim World in general to accept Israel as an
integral member of a world-of-Muslim-nations in Asia-Africa.”
(‘Islam and the Problem of Israel’, Islamic Council
of Europe, London, 1980. ISBN 0 907163 025).
Dr. Faruqi was of
the view that Israel constituted a danger to Muslims far greater than the
danger posed by the Euro-Christian Crusades of the medieval age, or by the Euro-Colonialism
of the modern secular age. Hence he rejected the call for the acceptance of
Israel as an integral member of ‘a world of Muslim nations in Asia Africa’.
This book has made a
humble attempt to complement Dr. Faruqi’s work by providing Muslim teachers, in
particular, with the Qur’anic guidance as it pertains to Jerusalem and its
destiny.
‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ was written partly in
response to the newspaper article of Daniel Pipes that was published in the Los
Angeles Times (“Jerusalem means more to Jews than to Muslims”, July 21,
2000). In it he attempted to dismiss any 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…” Dr. Pipes and his media surrogates, who provoked
us to respond, may wish to revise their opinion if they were ever to read this book.
Indeed a Muslim is duty-bound to respond to such hostile
critics who persist in challenging Islam and the Qur’an,
particularly so in respect of their new crusade on behalf of the Jewish State
of Israel. Response should always be made through turning to the Truth that is
in the Qur’an. The Qur’an declares that when Truth is hurled against
falsehood, Truth will always vanquish falsehood. And the believers have been ordered
to use the Qur’an while waging a mighty struggle against the
disbelievers.
Regardless of whether Dr. Pipes accepts or does not accept ‘Jerusalem
in the Qur’an’, it is clear that the study of this subject matter is basic
for an understanding of the problem of Israel and Islam. And that is the
primary importance of this book.
One dimension of the over-all Zionist-Jewish strategy has
been the attempt to control Israel’s strategic environment through cultivating
alliances of expediency with a corrupt, permanently rich, predatory and godless
elite who now control the Arab Muslim communities around Israel on Israel’s
behalf. That elite is forced to maintain friendly ties with Israel in order to
maintain their position of power, dominance, privilege and wealth. Those Jews
who are supporters of the State of Israel constantly put pressure on that elite
to so oppress Muslims that they would either be forced into submission to
Israel, or their opposition to Israel would pose no threat to the Jews. When
Israel escalates its oppression in the Holy Land and the Muslim Arab masses become
enraged then that ruling elite is forced, as a matter of survival, to adopt a posture
of anger against Israel.This
Jewish-Arab (elite) strategy has today reached an advanced stage of
implementation. … it is the strategy of a people who have essentially abandoned
the ethical heart of the religion of Abraham (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
The Zionist-Jewish strategy requires that they one day abandon that Arab elite…
Indeed the strategy of abandoning that Arab elite has already begun. Even as we
write Israel is preparing for a war with the Arab Muslims that would result in
an expansion of the territory of the Jewish State. Israel would then rule the
entire region as the Ruling State in the world (i.e., replacing USA as
the Ruling State).
In response to all such Jewish strategies that seek to defy
Allah Most High and the believers, and to subvert destiny, the Qur’an
ominously declared:
“And they (the Jews)
plotted and planned, and Allah too plotted and planned, and Allah is the best
of plotters and planners.”
(Qur’an, Ale Imran, 3:54)
That strategy was successful in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and
Saudi Arabia , all of which are client states of a godless USA. But that
strategy has not succeeded in the Holy Land. Nor has it succeeded in Syriaand Yemen.
Readers of this book may wish to reflect over the prayer of
Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) who prayed as follows:
“Narrated by Ibn Umar: The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa
sallam) said: O Allah! Bestow Your Blessings on our Sham (Syria) and our
Yemen. People said: Our Najd (Najd is that part of Saudi Arabia from which
the Saudi rulers have originated). The Prophet again said: O Allah! Bestow
Your Blessings on our Sham and Yemen. They said again: Our Najd as well. On
that the Prophet said: There will appear earthquakes and afflictions, and from
there (i.e., Najd) will come out the side of the head of Satan.”
The Jewish State of Israel has completed 50 years of
existence. But that is certainly not an achievement “against the odds” as the
Jews would have us believe. An essentially godless Zionist Movement conned Banu
Israil with a mountain of lies! One such lie was the false slogan “a
land without people for a people without land”.
If the Arabs are not ‘people’, if they are just
‘grasshoppers’ as former Israeli Prime Minister Shamir once declared, did they
not permit the Jews to dwell amongst them for more than two thousand years? The
Arabs guaranteed to the Jews security of life and property while they lived
amongst them in the Arab lands for more than two thousand years. The Arabs did
all of this and more at a time when Europeans had closed their doors to Jews,
or had reluctantly allowed them to live in ghettoes. Arabs did this because
they still possessed a ‘remnant’ of the religion of Abraham that had come to
them with Ishmael (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). That ‘remnant’ of the
Truth had taught them to show hospitality. To this day the hospitality of the
Arab has survived. The same religion of Abraham should have taught those Jews
to show gratitude to hospitable ‘grass-hoppers’.
Zionism argued that Truth, in Judaism, had conferred on the
Jewish people ‘exclusive’, ‘eternal’ and ‘unconditional’ title to the Holy
Land. Zionism argued that restoration of the Jewish State of Israel, destroyed
by Allah Most High some 2000 years ago, validated Judaism’s claim to (an
imperialist version of) Truth. After all, had the Torah not proclaimed: “every
spot on which your foot treads shall be yours”(Deuteronomy, 11:24)?For
fifty years since the birth of Israel the world has watched in amazement the
calamitous threading of Jewish ‘footsteps’ in an ever-expanding Israel. That
expansion has not as yet ceased. Despite the ‘appearance’ that Israel is besieged
and is circling her wagons to better protect herself from an Arab onslaught, the
‘reality’ at the time that this book is being published (after the destruction
of the Jenin refugee camp and the slaughter of so many more Arabs) is that
Israel is preparing to unleash a major war on the Arabs through which the
frontiers of the Jewish State would dramatically expand to embrace the
Bibilical Holy Land, i.e., “from the river of Egypt (and this implies
control over the Suez Canal) to the River Euphrates (and this implies
control over all of the Gulf oil with the possible exception of Iran’s oil.
Europe, Japan and much of the rest of the world are dependent on that Gulf
oil).” That war, which would be planned with meticulous care, would also
witness Israel replacing USA as the ‘Ruling State’ in the world.
And so, from a Biblical perspective, the Jewish success in
restoring the State of Israel and in then expanding the territory of the State,
in addition to Jewish control over the holy city of Jerusalem, certainly
appears to validate Judaism’s claim to Truth.
Our question is: How was this achieved without the Messiah?
The answer is that it was achieved through the deception of a False Messiah (al-Masih
al-Dajjal)!
Again, the inescapable implication of the apparent success
in restoring the Biblical Israel was the validation of the Jewish claim that
Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) were both impostors.
But in order for Israel to be created, Judaism had to hitch
its wagon onto the newly emergent, essentially godless and decadent modern
western civilization. That godless western world established its authority as
the peerless dominant actor on the stage of the world, “descending on
mankind from every height” or “spreading out in all directions”(Surah
al-Anbiyah, 21:96) to control all the sea, land and air. Nor could the Jewish
State have survived these fifty years but for the active assistance of that
all powerful but godless and decadent West.
Those Jews who support the State of Israel acclaimed what
appeared to them to be the restoration of Biblical Israel, but they
conveniently ignored the great injustices and oppression inflicted upon a
hapless Palestinian people - Christian as well as Muslim - whose only sin
appears to have been their residence in the Holy Land (of the Jews). That
injustice and oppression has been constantly increasing these 50 years. Our question
to such Jews is this: Is a valid claim to Truth compatible with such godlessness,
decadence, injustice, racism, and oppression? Can a people ‘hitch their wagon’
to an essentially godless train and still claim to be faithful to the God of Abraham?
The Zionist-Jews argued that they did not drive the
Palestinian people out of their homes - rather they left themselves. Well then,
why did those Jews not preserve their homes for them as a sacred trust, and why
did they not invite them to return to their homes? Instead the Jews have
persisted for fifty long miserable years in obstinately denying them the ‘right
of return’ to the homes.
Israel’s wicked oppression continues to intensify every day.
Israel will soon reach the pinnacle of ‘false’ glory when she becomes the Ruling
State in the world. However, this book declares that the world is
witnessing the beginning of the end for the Impostor Jewish State of Israel!
Jews should not blame Zionism for the plight in which they now find themselves.
All that Zionism ever did was to exploit every single lie that was put into the
Bibleby embellishing those lies with a
mountain of more lies.
Jerusalem in the Qur’an – Implications for Muslims
What are the implications for those Muslims who read this
book to the very end?
The first is that Jerusalem and the Holy Land should be
dearest of all to their hearts - as dear as Makkah and Madina - and the
struggle to liberate the Holy Land from the abomination of the secular
Euro-Jewish State of Israel should be the dearest of all struggles (of
liberation) for the Muslim. If a Jew can leave USA or Europe or Russia and join
the Israeli Defense Force and participate in the armed oppression of the Muslim
and Christian Palestinian people in the Holy Land, then a Muslim should also have
the same freedom to leave wherever he resides in the world and join in the
armed resistance of the oppressed in the Holy Land. … It is, in fact, a minimum
tangible expression of faith in today’s world that Muslims should at least have
the desire in their hearts to participate in that armed resistance (Jihad)
in the Holy Land. Muslims should be warned, however, that as soon as they
publicly declare their belief that the State of Israel will be destroyed by a
Muslim army, and express the hope that they would be members of that army, they
would eventually be intimidated and even arrested in order to silence them and
make of them an example which would intimidate others.
Secondly, the financial and other resources of the Muslim
world should be directed primarily to assist in the cause of the liberation of
the Holy Land from oppression.
Thirdly and most important of all, Muslims (male as
well as female) must study themessage and guidance of the Qur’an as it
pertains to the destiny of Jerusalem, and then teach it to others.
