A pagan state in the Holy Land - JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

A pagan state in the Holy Land

The Jewish State of Israel is, in fact, a pagan state that displays all the mores and morals of paganism. Any Jew who is convinced that the events of the return of the Jews to the Holy Land and the ‘restoration’ of the State of Israel represent progress towards the return of the golden age and the validation of Judaism as Truth must shudder at the following recent news articles in the Jerusalem Post which confirm the pagan way of life which now thrives in the Holy Land:

“According to police statistics, there are more than 200 brothels, 200 sex clubs, and an unknown number of offices providing call girls throughout the country. Yael Dayan, chair of the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women, estimates that there are about one million visits each month to prostitutes, both of the storefront or streetwalker variety and those who work in the higher-class escort services. Some 50 to 60 ‘health clubs’ operate in the few blocks around Tel Aviv’s old Central Bus Station alone, with other concentrations in Haifa, Jerusalem, Netanya, Beersheba, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Eilat. The back pages of local papers in many cities are filled with ads for sex services, as well as discreet ‘help wanted’ ads trying to recruit women to the trade.”

 (Jerusalem Post, August 28, 2000)

“In recent months, the media have been filled with revelations about the extent of white slavery in Israel. Women are being sold as chattels from one pimp to another. Approximately 25,000 sexual transactions for money take place every day in Israel. Coupled with the conviction of (Defence Minister) Yitzhak Mordechai for aggravated sexual assault and his subsequent judicial pardon, those revelations have provoked a great deal of discussion about the value of a woman's body in Israeli society. Though Israeli society may have lagged at the start of the revolution, today the sexual practices of Israelis are, with the exception of the religious, virtually indistinguishable from citizens of other Western countries. The absence of consent makes the actions of Mordechai and those who buy and sell women on auction blocks, both morally and legally far more reprehensible than the everyday casual sexual encounter. But their actions reflect commonplace ways of viewing others.”

(Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2001)

Another report from an Israeli who occupies a very high position in that society is even more revealing of the nature and extent of oppression in the Jewish State:

“ …. in public remarks that shocked Israelis, a former head of the Israeli domestic security service blamed government policies for triggering the Palestinian revolt.

  “Ami Ayalon, retired head of the Shin Bet security service, said Israel is guilty of ‘apartheid’ policies that go against the spirit of Judaism. He suggested that the Palestinians were following a logic in choosing violence, and spoke of the profound ‘humiliation’ that Israel inflicts on Palestinian workers and others who seek to enter Israel. Such comments are commonly heard from Palestinians and outsiders but rarely from an Israeli who has held senior-level positions in the security establishment.”

 (Jerusalem Post, Tuesday December 4, 2000)

Indeed the President of Israel himself has unwittingly confirmed the oppression visited upon a hapless Palestinian people who resist the Jewish State with the Intifada:

“If they have any sense of logic, the Palestinians will open their eyes and realize where this evil path has taken them: hundreds of dead and thousands of injured even though we have exercised restraint, poverty and deprivation, heavy unemployment, irreversible damage to the economy, a collapsing administrative network and in addition to all that they have not advanced politically.”

(Israeli President Katsav, Jerusalem Post Feb 16, 2001)

The President betrayed his contempt for Arabs in the typical way that modern godless modernity has cultivated:

“They're our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred meters away, there are people who don't belong to our continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy.”

(President Moshe Katsav, Jerusalem Post, May 11, 2001)

Dan Jacobson, a professor at Tel Aviv University, had this to say about Israeli justice: 

“For 52 years the Arab minority has been shamefully discriminated against. Consistent land expropriation is but one of the harsher expressions of this discrimination. Denial of jobs in the civil service, major government companies, and publicly owned companies; the meager resources allocated to education and health services in the Arab sector; the embarrassingly disproportionate share of state budgets going to Arab municipalities, are additional expressions of the Israeli Arab citizens’ second-class status. These facts have been repeatedly recognized by successive governments, including those of the right wing, but very little have been done in the course of five decades to resolve the problem.” 

(Jerusalem Post, April 3, 2001)

The above confirms that we are now witnessing the fulfillment of the Qur’anic warning that hell will come before their very eyes:

“And We shall present Hell that day for Kuffar to see, all spread out. (They will be such Kuffar) whose eyes had been under a veil from (recognizing accepting and embracing) My Guidance, and who had been unable even to hear.”

(Qur’an, al-Kahf, 18:100-101)

Let us hasten to recognize that the New World Order that has emerged in consequence of the dominance of modern secular western civilization is one in which godlessness, racial, economic and religious oppression, immorality and sexual slavery have embraced mankind around the world today, including the Muslim world. But the Holy Land is a special land. And the Qur’an is emphatic in its declaration that only those who possess faith (in the God of Abraham), and are righteous in conduct, will be allowed to inherit that Holy Land (see Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:105). Neither modern day Israel, nor the secular, nationalist Palestine Liberation Organization, appears even remotely capable of fulfilling these conditions. The Qur’anic conception of the destiny of Jerusalem in so far as control over the Holy Land is concerned is therefore one in which neither Yassir Arafat’s secular Palestine Liberation Organization, nor the secular State of Israel, will survive. Birds of a feather will perish together!

The above arguments clearly demonstrate the invalidity of Israel’s political claim to legitimacy in so far as inheritance of the Holy Land is concerned. This should not be something too difficult for a believing Jew or Christian to recognize and to accept.

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.

THE MYSTERY OF JERUSALEM, THE ‘TOWN’, IN THE QUR’AN

JERUSALEM IN THE QUR’AN

By Imran N. Hosein

PART ONE

Chapter 2

THE MYSTERY OF JERUSALEM,

THE ‘TOWN’, IN THE QUR’AN

“And there is a ban on (the people of) a town which We destroyed: that they (the people of the town) shall not return (to reclaim their town) until Gog and Magog are released and (eventually) they descend from every height (or spread out in every direction).” 

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:95-6)

(When Gog and Magog do so they assume control over the world and rule the world in the World Order of Gog and Magog).

It is strange, mysterious, and enigmatic, … that the name of the city ‘Jerusalem’ (Arabic ‘Quds’ or ‘Bait al-Maqdis’) does not appear in the Qur’an! Yet so many of the Prophets mentioned in the Qur’an had links with that Holy City, and in it is located that only other House of Allah, apart from those built in Makkah and Madina, ever built by a Prophet of Allah, Most High. Not only is that House of Allah (Masjid alAqsa) mentioned in the Qur’an but so, also, is the miraculous night-time journey in which Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) was taken from Makkah to Jerusalem and to that House of Allah. Perhaps the reason for this mysterious treatment of the subject is located in the Islamic view that Jerusalem is destined to play a central crucial role in the Last Age. Hence there was, perhaps, a divine need to cloud the name of the city, as well as its destiny, with a sacred cloud that would not be lifted until the appropriate time had come, and Jerusalem was poised and ready to play its role in the End of History.

This, perhaps, explains the almost total absence of Islamic literature on the subject of the destiny of Jerusalem, something to which Dr. Ismail Raji al-Faruqi referred when he lamented: “Unfortunately, there is no Islamic literature on the subject” (see Ch. 1). The fact is that no one could have written on this subject until that time arrived when the cloud was lifted. This book was written in consequence of the conviction that the cloud is now being lifted.

When the Jews rejected Jesus (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) as the Messiah and subsequently boasted that they had killed him (see Qur’an, al-Nisa, 4:157), they remained convinced that the advent of the Promised Messiah (and with him, the return of the Golden Age of Judaism) was still to come. They believed that the return of that Golden Age required, among other things, the following:

Ø  that the Holy Land would be liberated from the control of Gentiles,

Ø  that the Jews would return to the Holy Land from their exile in order to reclaim it,

Ø  that the State of Israel would be restored,

Ø  that the Temple (or Masjid) would be restored for the (Jewish) worship of the God of Abraham,

Ø  that Israel would eventually become the Ruling State in the world in a manner similar to that achieved in the age of  David (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and Solomon (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam),

Ø  that a Jewish King, who would be the Messiah, would rule the world from the throne of David (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), i.e., from Jerusalem as the ruler of Israel, and finally

Ø  that his rule would be eternal.

Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) declared that one of the major signs of the Last Day was that Allah Most High would deceive the Jews by raising and sending against them one who would impersonate the Messiah and lead them to believe that the Golden Age was returning. But, instead, that ‘False Messiah’ would lead them by exquisite deception to the greatest divine punishment ever inflicted upon any in Allah’s creation. Al-Masih al-Dajjal or Dajjal, the False Messiah, who is known by Christians as the Anti-Christ, was created by Allah Most High and would be released into the world in the Last Age to accomplish this mission. Now consider the following:

• The Holy Land was ‘liberated’ (i.e., from a Jewish perspective) from Muslim ‘gentile’ rule when the British General, Allenby, conquered Jerusalem in 1917;

• Israelite Jews have now ‘returned’ to reclaim the Holy Land after their divinely ordained 2000-year exile. This has occurred exactly as the Qur’an declared 1400 years ago that it would happen at the ‘End Time’. The remaining Caucasian Jews in USA and elsewhere seem destined to soon reach there;

• A state of Israel was ‘restored’ in 1948 and it lays claim to being the ancient State of Israel;

• An Israel which is armed to the teeth with an arsenal of nuclear … weapons seems destined to exploit the Palestinian Intifada … and the September 11^th Mossad attack on America (which created conditions favorable for Israel) with a war in which Israel will defy USA, Europe, the UN, and all the rest of the world, to take control of the entire region in which it is located. That Israeli war is likely to witness the expansion of the territory of Israel to that promised in the Torah, i.e., from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates. With success in that act of defiance of the entire world, including USA, and with the predictable collapse of the US dollar and US economy, Euro-Israel would finally have graduated from dependency, first on the British and then USA. The Euro-Jewish State would finally replace USA and Britain as a military and financial super-power of the world …;

• The predictable destruction of Masjid al-Aqsa and the reconstruction of the Jewish temple on the site would then take place. The prediction of the Prophet Nathan who declared, “the Messiah would build a House for God” (1 Chronicles 17:11-15), suggests the destruction of the present Masjid.

    All of this [would] appear very much to Jews as the fulfillment of prophecy pertaining to the return of the Golden Age when Solomon (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) ruled the world from Jerusalem. From the perspective of this book, however, none of the above could have been accomplished without the intervention of Dajjal, the False Messiah. Therefore all of the above constitute deception. The Holy State of Israel (first established by Prophet Solomon) has not really been restored.  Rather, an impostor Israel is in the place of the real Israel. It is clear to this writer that the cloud has now been lifted and that the ‘End Time’ has arrived ...  That, perhaps, is the reason why the writing of this book at this time is possible. The Qur’an explains all of the above.

The Qur’an referred to Jerusalem, time and again, as a ‘city’ or ‘town’ – but without naming it ... This appears to have been part of the divine cloud that shrouded the subject of the role of Jerusalem in the Last Age. For example, the Qur’an referred to that occasion when the Israelite Jews worshipped a golden calf while their Prophet, Moses (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), had gone up Mt. Sinai in consequence of a divine summons. The Qur’an warned that such worship of other than Allah Most High …would result in divine punishment:

“Those who took the (golden) calf (for worship and thus committed Shirk) (and whoever thereafter commits Shirk) will indeed be overwhelmed with wrath from their Lord and with shame in this life: thus do We recompense those who invent (falsehoods against Allah).....”

(Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:152-3) 

The Qur’an continued to describe the event while the Israelites were still in Sinai, and before they were allowed to enter the Holy Land, and declared:

“We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. (Then) We directed Moses by inspiration when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: ‘Strike the rock with thy staff’: out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds and sent down to them manna and quails (saying): ‘Eat of the good things We have provided for you’: (but they rebelled): to Us they did no harm but they harmed their own souls.”  

(Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:160)

 It was after this that the Qur’an then referred to Jerusalem simply and mysteriously as a ‘town’:

“And remember it was said to them ‘Dwell in this town (i.e., Jerusalem) and eat therein as ye wish but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility’...”

(Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:161)

 

There is another more ominous and mysterious reference to Jerusalem as simply a ‘town’ in the following passage of the Qur’an:

“And there is a ban on (the people of) a town which We destroyed (and the inhabitants were expelled) that they (i.e., the people of the town) shall not return (to reclaim the town) until Gog and Magog are released and they (eventually) descend from every height or spread in every direction.”

(Qur’an, al-Anbiyah, 21:95-96)

When then descend from every height, or spread out in every direction they, in effect, assume control over the world and rule the world in the World Order of Gog and Magog.

In order to determine the identity of the ‘town’ referred to above we examined all the material that exists in the Qur’an and Ahadith that pertain to Gog and Magog. We found only one town that is linked to Gog and Magog, and it is Jerusalem (see Chapter 10 of Pt. 1). Hence we concluded that the town referred to in the above verse of the Qur’an is Jerusalem!

When we recognize Jerusalem as the ‘town’ it would then become clear that the cloud over Jerusalem in the Qur’an would be lifted only when Y’ajuj (Gog) and M’ajuj (Magog) are released and when they eventually descend from every height or spread in every direction (i.e., they take control of the world in the World Order of Gog and Magog). The return of the Israelite Jews to the Holy Land confirms that Y’ajuj (Gog) and M’ajuj (Magog) have already been released, have already descended from every height, or have already spread out in every direction, and therefore have already taken control of the world. The World Order which today rules over the world is the World Order of Gog and Magog. Indeed it is Gog and Magog who made the return of the Jews to the Holy Land possible.

It is now possible for us to anticipate the grand design through which Dajjal, the False Messiah, would continue to convince the Jews that he is delivering the return of the golden age. That grand design appears to have commenced when Dajjal sallied forth from Britain (see Hadith of Tamimal-Dari in Sahih Muslim) to transform European civilization into a post-Christian and essentially godless civilization, and to endow it … with the power to achieve whatever goal it chose to pursue. Then the plan witnessed the creation of the Zionist movement. Zionism, in turn, established the State of Israel. The plan seems to include eventual Jewish control over the entire region in which the Holy Land is located, and that would be a step towards the world dominion that Dajjal must deliver in order for the Jews to accept him as the true Messiah. At the very heart of the grand design for the region must be the control over wealth and over water. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has explained the link between Dajjal and Riba, and between Gog and Magog and water! 

The Israelite Jews have returned to the Holy Land. That return could not have been possible without modern western civilization (in which Britain played the most conspicuous role). And hence it is also now clear that not only did Dajjal, the False Messiah, sally forth from the island of Britain, but in addition, that Gog and Magog are located within European civilization.
