JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN
By Imran N. Hosein
PART TWO
Chapter 3
CONCLUSION
“Had
We sent this as a Qur’an (in a language) other than Arabic, they would have
said: Why are not its verses explained in detail (in a language, which we could
understand)? How strange it is that the book is in a foreign language while the
one who brought the book is an Arab. Say: This book is a guide and a healing to
those who believe; but for those who believe not in it, there is a deafness in
their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): they are (as it were) being called
from a place far distant!”
(Qur’an, Fussilat, 41:44)
It is now time for us to conclude with a brief restatement
of the main points made in this book. They are as follows. The strange revolutionary change that
transformed Europe from a pagan to a very largely Christian but also with a
small and influential Jewish society, eventually gave way to an even stranger
revolutionary change which resulted in that same European people now becoming
essentially godless. In the process of becoming a Christian and a Jew the
modern largely godless White Man subverted both Christianity and Judaism,
respectively, and destroyed whatever was left in these revealed religions that
was still sacred.
The modern secular White Man and his brown, yellow and
black-skinned ‘mimic men’ are now attempting to do with Islam what had
previously been accomplished with Judaism and Christianity. That is the
fundamental explanation for the 1000-year-old war on Islam that was unleashed
with the greatest fury after September
11th.
Muslims are now being subjected to a sophisticated and
comprehensive effort to so rethink Islam and to so modify their religion
that it can be accommodated within the new universal global godless society. A
new cosmetic version of Islam must emerge which would accept the Jews as rulers
of the world and accept the State of
Israel as the Ruling State of the world. This must perforce be an
Islam that would be devoid of all notions of Jihad.
Muslims are being told that the values of the new global
society are indeed universal values of pure Islam. But the new global society
and its cosmopolitan elite are the product of secular western civilization and
it shares the values of that godless civilization. Among those values are the political Shirk that has now
embraced all of mankind in its deadly embrace, and the economic Riba of
the modern economy whose embrace of mankind has brought a new economic slavery.
Godless western civilization made possible the establishment
of both the Jewish State of Israel, and the Saudi-Wahhabi State of Saudi
Arabia, and it is that civilization which has ensured the survival of both
Israel and Saudi Arabia from their birth to the present. This is the key with which Muslims can seek
to understand the world today. Neither of these phenomena can be explained
without the Qur’an. The Qur’anic explanation that has emerged as the very core
of this book is that the world is now in the control of Y’ajuj and M’ajuj
as well Dajjal, the False Messiah.
Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
explained the purpose of a Divine Plan in which the Jews (i.e. the Israelite
Jews) were expelled from the Holy Land after their rejection of the Messiah,
the son of the Virgin Mary, and their attempt to crucify him. Allah, Most
Merciful, then gave them a certain period of time in which to seek His mercy (“It may be that your Lord may (yet)
have mercy on you.” Qur’an, Banu Israil, 17:8), and He left only one
door open for them through which they could earn mercy. That door (to mercy)
was the one last Prophet who was still to come. He was Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam), the Prophet of Allah, Most High. The Jews would have to
believe in him and follow him, honor him and assist him in order to win divine
mercy (Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:157).
If the Israelite Jews were to reject Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam), the implication would be that the door for divine mercy
would be closed, and that when the final count-down of the Last Age came, Allah
Most High would bring them back to the scene of their greatest crimes, i.e.,
the Holy Land (Qur’an, Banu Israil,
17:104). That Jewish return to the Holy Land would signify that their
final divine punishment had commenced. This book has declared that such moment
has arrived! The period of seventeen months commencing after the arrival of
Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) in Madina was the most
crucially important in all of Jewish history. The door to Divine Mercy was
open. When it became absolutely clear at the end of seventeen months that the
Jews had not only rejected Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) but were
conspiring to destroy Islam, Allah Most High decreed the change in Qiblah and this implied that the
door to Divine Mercy was now shut for the Jews. Never again would they ever
qualify for inheriting the Holy Land. Instead it is Muslims who have now been
bestowed that inheritance:
“It is He Who has made you (the Muslims) inheritors of the
(Holy) Land (after the Jews): He has raised some of you by degrees above others
that He might test you through that which He bestowed upon you (Banu Israil got
more than any other people): for thy Lord is swift in punishment: yet He is
indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(Qur’an, al-An’am, 6:165)
It was at this point in time, i.e., after the change in Qiblah
and before the death of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) that
the release of Dajjal and of Y’ajuj and M’ajuj took place.
Only ‘one-eyed’ Muslims would now join with Jews to participate in ‘Inter-faith’
services and joint prayer sessions. This is because Jews have now been brought
back to the Holy Land to face the consequences
of many evil deeds of theirs, including the evil that they now commit. At the
top of that list is their betrayal of their Covenant with Allah Most High.
Jews already recognize that Allah Most High has punished
them many times before. This book has explained the Islamic view that history
cannot end before the Jews receive their final punishment. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) has provided crucially
important information on the subject, to wit: that a Muslim army would conquer
Jerusalem, destroy the impostor State of Israel and punish the Jews. The
followers of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) would thus
liberate the Holy Land. Here, once more, is the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) to that effect:
“Abu
Hurairah reported that the Prophet said: Black banners shall emerge from
Khorasan (i.e., area which is now included in Afghanistan, Pakistan and a
little in Iran and Central Asia), and no force would be able to stop them until
they are inserted in Aelia (Jerusalem).”
(Sunan, Tirmidhi)
This is why ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ should be read
again and again, and why it should lead every reader to a penetrating study of
the Qur’an and to the explanations of the Qur’an that were given
by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). He spoke at length
about Jerusalem and its role in the Last Age. Among the things that he said
were the following:
“Narrated
Auf bin Malik: I went to the Prophet during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was
sitting in a leather tent. He said: Count six signs that indicate the approach
of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague that will afflict
you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the
increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred
Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape,
and then a truce between you and Bani al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will
betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve
thousand soldiers.”
(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)
Perhaps for the first time in history a war is being fought
with ‘stones’. The Palestinian
Muslim intifada (uprising) continues to deliver its response to Israeli oppression
with ‘stones’. That is a truly ominous sign for Israel. In addition, Israel has
engaged in the indiscriminate destruction of ‘trees’ in the Holy Land.
Thousands of olive trees have already been destroyed by Israel in a diabolical
effort to increase the economic hardship being imposed upon the Palestinian
people, Muslim as well as Christian. The outrage against these acts of Fasad
(awesome oppression and wickedness) is such that the ‘trees’ and ‘stones’ in
the Holy Land are now beginning to ‘speak’
in fulfillment of the prophecy of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
Of course the trees and stones cannot be heard with the external ears. Rather,
it is with the internal hearing faculty in the heart of those who possess faith
(Iman) that one will hear the ‘trees’ and ‘stones’ when they speak!
That, perhaps, explains why the Saudi, Egyptian, Turkish, Jordanian and
Pakistani Governments, as well as so many other governments around the world,
appear unable to hear the stones speaking in the Holy Land!
Our view is that the above prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) is already being fulfilled today in the Palestinian intifada.
As time now passes the stones will speak louder and louder. Only those who are spiritually deaf and dead will fail to
hear them. If the very stones are now crying out to Muslims everywhere in the world
to liberate the Holy Land from Jewish occupation and oppression, the implication
is that Muslims should mobilize themselves and devote all their efforts and all
their resources for that struggle; and that struggle be given precedence over
such mundane goals as, for example, raising the standard of living of a people
who are already living comfortably. It follows quite logically that Muslims
cannot reside in territories where the war against Islam and support for
Israel are most pronounced. Such would be USA, Britain, etc. Muslims must
migrate from such territories and go to reside in places where they can better
preserve their faith and support the struggle for the liberation of the Holy
Land. The world is increasingly being forced to recognize the oppression
created and sustained by Israel, an oppression that will constantly increase
until, according to the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (‘alaihi alSalam):
“….
a man would pass by a grave and roll on it saying: I wish I were in the grave
(instead of the dead man), not for religious reasons but because of oppression”
(Sahih, Muslim)
Perhaps the most important warning that this book gives is
that every tomorrow will now witness increased oppression of those Muslims who
remain faithful to Islam. Indeed since September
11th the oppression of such Muslims has dramatically intensified
all around the world. Muslims are now living through the ‘mother of all
trials’. The present Ruling State in the world (USA) is leading an
effort to make the world safe for the next
Ruling State (Israel)!
The guidance that the Qur’an provides in Surah al-Kahf is the only
guidance with which Muslims can hope to survive this wicked storm. The only
guide who can successfully guide Muslims in this age is the guide who
understands the age in which we now live and whose understanding is derived
from the Qur’an and the Ahadith of the blessed Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam). Such a guide would understand the Shirk of the
modern secular State and its system of electoral politics and he would advise
Muslims to abstain from that Shirk by not pledging allegiance to a secular constitution. He would also understand the Riba
of the modern economy and advise Muslims to abstain from all forms of Riba
to the maximum extent that is possible for them. He would recognize ‘paper money’ to be Haram and
would be taking steps to encourage Muslims to return to the use of gold and
silver coins as money which can be used in the market as legal tender. (It is
unlikely that the ‘International Jew’ would allow the Government of Malaysia to
reintroduce gold and silver coins as ‘legal tender’.)
The guide would recognize and warn his people about the back-door
Riba now being practiced by Islamic Banks, Credit Unions and other
financial institutions. Such a guide would declare this to be the age of Y’ajuj
and M’ajuj and of Dajjal, the False Messiah. All others are
just ‘whistling in the wind’.
My book entitled Surah al-Kahf and the Modern Age,
which is now being written, will, Insha Allah, attempt to explain the guidance which that Surah of the
Qur’an provides. At the very heart of that guidance is the imperative of
disconnecting from the godless cities of the modern world and moving to the
countryside where land is cheap and where there is water. Muslim villages should then be established in such locations and
then an attempt be made to establish Islam as the way of life of the villages.
The work of my teacher, Maulana Dr. Muhammad Fadlur Rahman Ansari, entitled ‘The
Qur’anic Foundations and Structure of Muslim Society’ is a blueprint for survival since it
provides the specific guidance of the Qur’an that must be applied in the
establishment of authentic Islam in such Muslim villages. It is from children
who grow up in Muslim villages that are disconnected from the godless world
that the future Muslim army would emerge which would liberate the Holy Land.
