JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN
By Imran N. Hosein
PART TWO
Chapter 1
THE HOLY LAND AND THE POLITICAL SHIRK OF
THE STATE OF ISRAEL
“We
gave Moses the Book and made it a Guide to the Children of Israel,
(commanding): Take not other than Me as (Supreme) Disposer of (your) affairs.”
(Qur’an, Banu Israil, 17:2)
(Shirk
is the worship of any other than the God of Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam).
Any corruption of that worship of that one God is also Shirk. Kufr is
the rejection of Truth.)
Israel is a modern secular state located in the Holy Land.
Its political system is based on political secularism. What is the religious
legitimacy of such a modern secular state when judged according to the religion
of Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam)? And does such a secular state,
established in the Holy Land, conform with, or violate, the Divine conditions
for inheritance of that Holy Land? This chapter attempts to answer those
questions.
