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 11^th.

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 11^th 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.

The secular state of Israel in the Holy Land - JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

The secular state of Israel in the Holy Land

It is now possible for us to arrive at some conclusions concerning the legitimacy of the secular state of Israel that has been restored in the Holy Land. Did the success of the Zionist Movement in restoring the State of Israel represent a validation of the Jewish claim to Truth? Was it an act of divine grace?

The secular State of Israel, like all secular states, is an abomination since it is founded on the foundations of Shirk! The most basic characteristic of the religion of Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam) is that it is free from Shirk.  Secular Israel, therefore, most certainly violates the divine conditions of inheritance of the Holy Land. Thus it cannot survive in the Holy Land. It will be destroyed. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has explained that a Muslim army that would emerge from Khorasan would destroy the State of Israel. That army would emerge after Imam al-Mahdi emerges and with him the Islamic Caliphate is restored.  

The restoration of the Islamic Caliphate would thus result in the destruction of Israel. This would be the third and last such event. The first time a Babylonian army was used to destroy Israel. The second time it was a Roman army. And now for the last time it would be a Muslim army.

But there are many other political reasons for rejecting the claim that the restoration of the State of Israel in the Holy Land was an act of divine grace representing a validation of the Jewish claim to Truth. Firstly, it would be a fundamental contradiction that a godless modern European people who live a decadent life, and who oppress others, should be the means through whom divine grace should reach the Jewish people and through whom Truth is validated. ‘Means’ must conform to ‘ends’.  

Secondly, the method through which Israel was restored involved the expulsion, from the Holy Land, of a people who worshipped the God of Abraham (‘alaihi al-Salam). They were expelled for no reason other than that they were not Jews. This constitutes oppression. In addition, since the creation of Israel, oppression against the Arabs, Muslim as well as Christian, who live in and around the Holy Land, has constantly increased. An act of divine grace is incompatible with such oppression!

Thirdly, when Israel was created it was clear that there was no respect for the sacred in the consciousness of those who created the state. The godlessness, corruption, sexual immorality and decadence of Israel in no way differ from that of the godless European civilization. This cannot be conceived of as an act of divine grace. Indeed, the secular State of Israel has brought into the Holy Land such unparalleled corruption and decadence that even sexual slavery now thrives. This is the opposite of righteousness. Indeed it is a pagan society that now exists in the Holy Land!

THE QUR’ÂN AND THE DESTINY OF JERUSALEM

JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

By Imran N. Hosein

PART ONE

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.
