Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Does the Qur'an and the Jewish Bible say that Palestine/Israel belongs to the Muslims or to the Jews? What is the ideal solution for the situation in Israel and Palestine?

Does the Qur'an and the Jewish Bible say that Palestine/Israel belongs to the Muslims or to the Jews? What is the ideal solution for the situation in Israel and Palestine?

61:6 And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."

(Jesus was only sent to the Children of Israel, and he announced to them the coming of Muhammad (61:6), so the Jews are required to follow the Qur’an. Muhammad was also sent to all of mankind (7:158, 34:28, 3:96, 21:107, 6:19, 36:70), including Jews and Christians; and he was the last Prophet (33:40)) (Jews are required to follow the Qur’an, which means they are ordered to become Muslims (i.e., to submit to God) (6:14). Muslims are not divided into Jews and gentiles, and Muslims cannot discriminate against other people based on land or lineage) (See the link below, “Is Muhammad mentioned in the Bible?”) (Allah knows best)

22:78 And strive for Allah with the striving which is due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you any difficulty in the religion. The religion of your father Abraham. He named you Muslims before, and in this, that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over mankind. So establish prayer and give zakah (charity) and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - so an Excellent Protector and an Excellent Helper.

(The religion of Abraham was revealed to Muhammad; that is the true religion. Jewish false innovations, which differ from the religion of Abraham (i.e., from the Qur’an), are not accepted. Following Rabbis instead of God is polytheism. You cannot take your ethnicity or your own wishes as a religion or as a god) (Allah knows best)

3:105 And do not be like those who became divided and differed after the clear proofs came to them. And they will have a great punishment.

34:28 And We have not sent you except to all mankind, as a giver of glad tidings and as a warner. But most people do not know.

4:174 O mankind, surely a convincing proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light.

(There are Verses directly addressed to “mankind” (4:174, 7:158, 22:1), to the “Children of Adam” (7:27, 36:60, 7:31), to the people of the Book (the Bible) (5:19, 3:64, 3:65), to “Jinn” (6:130, 55:33), and to the “Children of Israel” (2:40, 2:47, 20:80); so the Qur’an is for all of them) (The Qur’an must be followed because it is a revelation from God. Mankind are not able to write a Book like the Qur’an. See the articles below: “The Qur’an and Mathematics,” “Is there any contradiction in the Qur'an?” and “Is the Qur'an scientifically correct?”) (The Bible contradicts itself, and Jews innovated concepts, so a Criterion and New Revelation was needed (the Qur’an), confirming and returning to the religion of Abraham while rejecting Jewish and Christian man-made innovations) (Allah knows best)

5:12 And certainly Allah took a Covenant from the Children of Israel and We appointed from among them twelve leaders. And Allah said, "Indeed, I am with you if you establish prayer and give the zakah (charity) and you believe in My Messengers and you assist them and you loan Allah a goodly loan, surely I will remove from you your evil deeds and I will surely admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever of you disbelieved after that, then he certainly strayed from the right way. 5:13 So for their breaking of their covenant We cursed them and We made their hearts hard. They distort words from their places, and forgot a part of what they were reminded of. And you will not cease to discover treachery from them except a few of them. But forgive them and overlook. Indeed, Allah loves the good-doers. ... 5:19 O People of the Book, surely there has come to you Our Messenger, he makes clear to you (after) an interval of the Messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But surely there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is on every thing All-Powerful. 5:20 And when Moses said to his people, "O my people, remember the Favor of Allah upon you when He placed among you Prophets and made you kings and He gave you what He had not given anyone from the worlds. 5:21 "O my people, enter the Holy land which Allah has ordained for you and do not turn your backs, for then you will turn back as losers." 5:22 They said, "O Moses, indeed, in it are people of tyrannical strength and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it, and if they leave it, then certainly we (will) enter (it)." … 5:24 They said, O Moses, indeed, we will never enter it, ever, as long as they are in it. So go, you and your Lord, and you both fight. Indeed, we are sitting [here]." 5:25 He said "O my Lord, indeed, I do not have power except (over) myself and my brother, so (make a) separation between us and between the defiantly disobedient people." 5:26 (Allah) said, "Then indeed, it (will be) forbidden to them for forty years, they will wander in the earth. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people."

(Some non-Muslims claim that Verse 5:21 says the Holy land was given to the Children of Israel, but Verses 5:20 and 5:21 are explicitly addressed to “the people of Moses.” Therefore, one interpretation is that the Holy land was prescribed / decreed to the Children of Israel who lived during the time of Moses, not to “any” Children of Israel” (“O my people, enter...” (5:21)). This interpretation is supported by Verse 5:26, in which the land was forbidden to them for forty years, meaning the land was meant to be entered during the time of Moses) (And according to the context, "Indeed, I am with you if you establish prayer and give the zakah (charity) and you believe in My Messengers” (5:12). Thus, the land was conditional upon belief and good deeds, but the Jews do not believe in all Messengers (e.g., Jesus and Muhammad), and do/did not perform good deeds (5:13, 5:25). “They took the calf after clear proofs came to them” (4:153), they transgressed during the Sabbath (4:154-155), they disbelieved in the Signs of God (4:155), they killed Prophets without right (4:155), they uttered a great slander against Mary (4:156), they hindered many from the way of God (4:160), they took usury and wrongfully consumed the wealth of others (4:161), they distort words (5:13), they do not believe in Jesus (5:110),…) (According to the context, Verse 5:13 says they were cursed for breaking their covenant. Prophet Muhammad is warned, “you will not cease to discover treachery from them except a few of them” (5:13). According to Verses 5:22-24, this is also in the context of fighting those who inhabited that land at a time when its inhabitants were not Muslims, because the people were “tyrannical” (5:22) and thus not righteous. Tyranny is forbidden in Islam (50:45, 10:83, 11:59). On the other hand, in the present day, Jews reject God’s revelation, the Qur’an, which confirms the Torah and the Gospel, while Palestinians believe in it. Palestinians are the Muslims / Submitted ones, not the Jews. Moses and Aaron were also Muslims / Submitted to God, while there are Jews who are the bad ones and the wrongdoers) (Regarding Verse 5:25, Moses even disassociated himself and his brother from his people: “He said ‘O my Lord, indeed, I do not have power except (over) myself and my brother, so (make a) separation between us and between the defiantly disobedient people.’” (5:25)) (Another point is that Palestinians are, in fact, also descendants of Jacob who converted to Christianity and then to Islam (according to genetics, though not according to a Jewish man-made cultural / religious identity)) (Allah knows best)

5:33 Only the recompense for those who wage war (against) Allah and His Messenger and strive in the earth spreading corruption is that they be killed or they be crucified or their hands and their feet of opposite sides be cut off or they be exiled from the land. That is for them disgrace in the world, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.

(According to Verse 5:33, wrongdoers are to be exiled or punished rather than remaining in the land. Jews who are wrongdoers and disbelievers do not have any right to the land. Those who reject the Verses of the Qur’an are disbelievers (29:47, 84:22, 2:91, 52:33-34, 46:10, 10:95-97, 23:38-39, 40:70)) (Allah knows best)

71:26 And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant. 71:27 Indeed, You, if You leave them they will mislead Your slaves and they will not beget except a wicked, a disbeliever.

7:148 And the people of Moses took, after him, from their ornaments an image of a calf, which [for] it (had) a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it and they were wrongdoers.

(The people of Moses were wrongdoers (7:148)) (Allah knows best)

7:128 Moses said to his people, "Seek help from Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth (belongs) to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the end is for the righteous."

10:84 And Moses said, "O my people, if you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him, if you are Muslims."

("Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits (to God)." By definition, all Messengers and those who submitted were Muslims/submitted (to God)) (Among the Children of Israel, some were Muslims/submitted and some were not) (Allah knows best)

17:103 So he intended to drive them out from the land, but We drowned him and all those who were with him. 17:104 And We said after him to the Children of Israel, "Dwell (in) the land, then when the promise of the Hereafter comes, We will bring you (as) a mixed crowd."

(According to Verse 17:103, those who intended to drive the Children of Israel out of the land were drowned. On the other hand, in the present day, the Jews are the ones who intend to drive Palestinians out of the land, and some Jews commit genocide, murder, and terrorism, which means they no longer have any right to the land) (Allah knows best)

2:83 And when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, "Do not worship except Allah, and be good to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy, and speak good to people, and establish the prayer and give the zakah. Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing. 2:84 And when We took your covenant, "Do not shed your blood and nor evict yourselves from your homes," then you ratified while you were witnessing.

(In Islam (Submission (to God)), you cannot evict anyone from their home; therefore, the Jews are the ones making trouble in Palestine and using God as an excuse to evict Palestinians from their homes. Some Jews are the tyrants of today) (Note: “Jew” in the Qur’an refers to their religion, while “Children of Israel” establishes their lineage) (Allah knows best)

21:105 And verily, We have written (katabna) in the Scripture after the mention, that My slaves will inherit the earth - the righteous.

(Verse 21:105 is supported by the Torah: according to Leviticus 18:24-28, living in the land is conditional upon good deeds) (Verse 21:105 uses the same word “katabna” (We have written) as Verse 5:21 “kataba” ((has been) ordained). One interpretation is that one Verse complements the other; thus, the righteous slaves are the ones who will inherit the earth) (According to the Qur’an, the Jews were not righteous because, “they took the calf after clear proofs came to them” (4:153), they transgressed during the Sabbath (4:154-155), they disbelieved in the Signs of God (4:155), they killed Prophets without right (4:155), they uttered a great slander against Mary (4:156), they hindered many from the way of God (4:160), they took usury and wrongfully consumed the wealth of others (4:161), they distort words (5:13), they do not believe in Jesus (5:110),…) (Psalms 37:27-28 say, “Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.”) (Allah knows best)

20:6 To Him (belongs) whatever (is) in the heavens and whatever (is) in the earth, and whatever (is) between them and whatever (is) under the soil.

(According to Leviticus 25:23, “The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers”) (Allah knows best)

10:87 And We inspired to Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt in houses, and make your houses as places of worship, and establish the prayer. And give glad tidings to the believers."

(Moses and his brother are not ordered to create a new nation and call it “Israel” (i.e., Prophet Jacob); actually, according to Verse 10:87, they were ordered to settle in Egypt during the time of Moses) (Allah knows best)

26:53 Then Firaun/(Pharaoh) sent gatherers in the cities, 26:54 "Indeed, these (are) certainly a small band 26:55 And indeed, they (are) surely enraging [to] us, 26:56 And indeed, we (are) surely a multitude, forewarned." 26:57 So We expelled them from gardens and springs, 26:58 And treasures and an honorable place, 26:59 Thus. And We caused (the) Children of Israel to inherit them.

(Once the people of Pharaoh were expelled, the land was inherited by the Children of Israel. So, the Qur’an refers to Egypt rather than a new country. Actually, Palestine/Israel belonged to Egypt at the time of Pharaoh and Moses) (Allah knows best)

42:13 He has ordained for you of the religion what He enjoined upon Noah, and that which We have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not to be divided therein. Difficult for the polytheists is that to which you call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns.

(The Qur’an does not say that you have to divide people. Some Egyptians became believers at the time of Moses (e.g., Pharaoh’s wife (66:11), the magicians (7:120-121), a man from the family of Pharaoh (40:28),...). And the Qur’an does not say that you have to divide yourselves into different countries. On the contrary, for example, Dhul-qarnain (Cyrus) was a believer, and when he was king, territories were united, and it was the world’s first true empire) (Another point is that the Jews who are doing this to Palestinians are oppressors, murders, genocidal, wrongdoers, and cowards, because Palestine alone is considered a weak country. Arabs and Muslims should be one single country. See the link below, “How important is the unity of Muslims?”) (Allah knows best)

2:94 Say, "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you, and not for others of mankind, then wish for death, if you are truthful." 2:95 And they (will) never wish for it, ever, because (of what) their hands (have) sent ahead. And Allah (is) All-Knower of the wrongdoers.

7:36 But those who deny Our Verses and are arrogant towards them, those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide in it forever.

(The Jews deny the Verses of the Qur’an. According to Verse 7:36, “those who deny Our Verses and are arrogant towards them, those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide in it forever”, so those who deny the Verses are not to inherit the land) (The Jews do not believe in Hell, but they failed to erase everything about “hell” from the scripture; according to Daniel 12:2, “multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt”; Psalm 145:20 says, “The Lord preserves all who love him, but all the wicked He will destroy”; Psalm 78:65-66 says, “then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine. He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame”) (Allah knows best)

28:76 Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he oppressed them. And We gave him treasures which indeed the keys of it would burden a company (of men) possessors of great strength. When his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not love the exultant.

(Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he oppressed the People of Moses. Someone who opposes God and His Messengers (e.g., Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc.) is not to inherit the land) (Allah knows best)

44:17 And certainly, We tried before them (the) people (of) Pharaoh, and (there) came to them a noble Messenger. 44:18 That, "Deliver to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.

(According to Verse 44:18, the servants of God were the ones to be saved, rather than the wrongdoers) (Allah knows best)

29:39 And Qarun, and Pharaoh and Haman. And certainly, Moses came to them with clear evidences, but they were arrogant in the earth, and they could not outstrip Us. 29:40 So We seized each of them for his sin. Then of them was he upon whom We sent a violent storm, and of them was he who was seized by the awful cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow him, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves.

(Qarun, who was from the people of Moses, was seized for his sin. He was not among those who were to enter the Holy land) (Allah knows best)

2:124 And when his Lord tried Abraham with words and he fulfilled them, He said, "Indeed I (am) the One to make you a leader for mankind." He said, "And of my offspring?" He said, "My Covenant does not reach the wrongdoers."

(A Covenant does not reach the wrongdoers) (Allah knows best)

2:133 Or were you witnesses when death came to Jacob, when he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac – One God. And we are Muslims/submissive to Him."

(The sons of Jacob (Israel) were Muslims / submissive to God, not Jews in terms of religion. “Jew” is a word named after “Judah,” a person. The true religion is not named after a person) (Allah knows best)

2:140 Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the descendants were Jews or Christians?" Say, "Are you more knowing or is Allah?" And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from Allah? And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

3:67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim, and he was not of the polytheists.

2:135 And they said, "Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided." Say, "Nay, the religion of Abraham, the upright; and he was not of those who associated partners."

(According to Verse 2:135, Jews and Christians no longer follow the true religion. But they are required to follow the Qur’an (61:6, 5:19)) (Muslims follow the religion of Abraham, so it is not a new religion. God did not command anyone to evict people without right) (According to the Qur’an, Jews or Christians might differ from the true religion in what they concealed of the Book (6:91, 2:143), what they forgot (5:13), what they were burdened with for their wrongdoing (16:124, 4:160), what they innovated (57:27), following their desires (2:120, 5:48), and committing excess in their religion (4:171), etc.) (Allah knows best)

62:6 Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah , excluding the people, then wish for death, if you are truthful."

(Verse 62:6 is clear about the matter of the Jews’ attitude towards non-Jews: "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah , excluding the people, then wish for death, if you are truthful.") (Allah knows best)

2:253 These Messengers, We preferred some of them over others. Among them were those with whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degrees. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. And if Allah had willed, those after them would not have fought each other after clear proofs came to them. But they differed, some of them believed and some denied. And if Allah had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allah does what He intends.

9:11 But if they repent, and establish prayer and give zakah, then (they are) your brothers in religion. And We explain the Verses in detail for a people (who) know.

(The party of the Children of Israel who submit and become Muslims are brothers in religion) (Allah knows best)

64:2 He is the One Who created you, and among you is a disbeliever and among you is a believer. And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.

(Mankind is not divided into Jews and gentiles, but into believers and disbelievers, regardless of ethnicity or lineage) (If you make an ethnicity or lineage your religion, you might commit idolatry. Obeying devils is polytheism (6:121), and if you differ from the religion, it implies polytheism (i.e., obeying people / Satan instead of obeying God) (30:31-32)) (Allah knows best)

4:140 And surely He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the Verses of Allah being rejected and ridiculed, then do not sit with them until they engage in a conversation other than that. Indeed, you then, (would be) like them. Indeed, Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together.

(You do not have to sit with those who reject and ridicule the verses of God; if you do, you would be like them) (It is said that someone is a Jew because he has a Jewish mother; that makes him belong to a group in which there are wrongdoers. On the other hand, someone is a Muslim if he submits to God. If he were to say that he is a Muslim but does not submit, he would not be a Muslim. So, Muslims belong to a people who are never criminals (68:35-36); they obey God, and what God orders is good) (Allah knows best)

5:80 You see many of them taking as allies those who disbelieved. Surely, evil (is) what their souls sent forth for them(selves), that Allah became angry with them, and in the punishment they (will) abide forever.

(You cannot take as allies those other than believers; therefore, you cannot take as allies those who disbelieve, whether among your own ethnic group or other ethnic groups, but Jews do otherwise) (Verse 5:80 directly refers to the Children of Israel, because Verse 5:78 begins by saying, “Those who disbelieved from the Children of Israel…”) (Allah knows best)

9:23 O you who believe, do not take your fathers and your brothers as allies if they prefer disbelief over belief. And whoever of you takes them as allies, then those are the wrongdoers.

(Believers do not take disbelievers as allies. Jews take disbelievers among themselves as allies. According to Verse 9:23, those who do so are wrongdoers) (According to the article “Irreligion in Israel,” “Israeli Jewish society is highly secularized when compared to the rest of the Middle East. Israeli Arab society is much more religious, with any degree of secularity barely acknowledged”) (So, Palestinians have more right to the land) (Practicing Jews do not believe in some religious matters (e.g., they do not believe in Hell; they do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah, etc.). Those who disbelieve in part of the Scripture are to be punished (see Verse 2:85 below)) (Allah knows best)

2:85 Then you are those who kill yourselves and evict a party of you from their homes, you support one another against them in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom; while their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Book and disbelieve in part? Then what should be the recompense for those who do so among you, except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the most severe punishment? And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

(Verse 2:85 is addressed to the Children of Israel (2:83)) (Allah knows best)

14:2 Allah is the One to Whom (belongs) whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe punishment.

3:103 And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together, and do not be divided. And remember the Favor of Allah on you when you were enemies, then He made friendship between your hearts then by His Favor you became brothers. And you were on the brink of the pit of the Fire, then He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes clear for you His Verses so that you may be guided.

(If a descendants of Jacob/Israel were Muslim, he could not evict other Muslims from the land, because it would imply division and disobedience. Muslims are commanded to hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and not be divided (3:103)) (Allah knows best)

22:40 Those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some of them by others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.

(People cannot be evicted for religious matters (e.g., because they say, “Our Lord is Allah”). God supports those who support Him (22:40)) (Muslims outnumber Jews in population and in land) (Allah knows best)

5:78 Those who disbelieved from the Children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary, because they disobeyed and they used to transgress.

4:153 The People of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. Indeed, they had asked Moses even greater than that for they said, "Show us Allah manifestly," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf after clear proofs came to them, then We forgave them for that. And We gave Moses a clear authority. 4:154 And We raised the mount over them for their covenant, and We said to them, "Enter the gate, prostrating." And We said to them, "Do not transgress in the Sabbath." And We took a solemn covenant from them. 4:155 Then because of their breaking of their covenant and their disbelief in the Signs of Allah and their killing of the Prophets without any right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped." Nay, Allah (has) set a seal on their (hearts) for their disbelief, so they do not believe except a few. 4:156 And for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander. 4:157 And for their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him; but it was made to appear so to them. And indeed, those who differ in it are surely in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And certainly they did not kill him. 4:158 Nay, Allah raised him towards Him. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 4:159 And there is none from the People of the Book but must believe in it/him before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them. 4:160 Then for the wrongdoing of those who were Jews, We made unlawful for them good things which had been lawful for them, and for their hindering many from the way of Allah. 4:161 And for their taking of usury while certainly they were forbidden from it and for their consuming wealth of people wrongfully. And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. 4:162 But those who are firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what is revealed to you and what was revealed before you. And those who establish prayer and those who give zakah (charity) and those who believe in Allah and the Last Day – (to) those, We will give them a great reward.

(The Jews do not believe in the Gospel or the Qur’an, even though it confirms the Torah (3:3, 5:46), so they are disbelievers) (Allah knows best)

7:160 And We divided them into twelve tribes as communities. And We inspired to Moses when his people asked him for water, "Strike the stone with your staff." Then gushed forth from it twelve springs. Certainly, every people knew its drinking place. And We shaded them with clouds, and We sent down upon them manna and quails. "Eat of the good things which We have provided you." And they did not wrong Us but they were wronging themselves. 7:161 And when it was said to them, "Live in this city and eat from it wherever you wish and say, "Repentance," and enter the gate prostrating, We will forgive for you your sins. We will increase (the reward of) the good-doers." … 7:163 And ask them about the town which was situated by the sea, when they transgressed in the (matter of) Sabbath, when their fish came to them visibly on the day of their Sabbath and the day they had no Sabbath (they did) not come to them. Thus We test them because they were defiantly disobeying.

(See the link below, “Does the Qur'an replace the Bible?”)( Allah knows best)

15:23 And indeed, We, surely We give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.

3:33 Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah, and the family of Abraham and the family of Imran over the worlds.

(The Qur’an does not say that one race is better than another, but some hypocritical non-Muslims wrongly claim that all races are not considered equal in Verses 3:33 and 2:47. However, according to Verse 12:90, there is a reason to be favored regardless of race: “he who fears Allah and is patient” and is a “good-doer” (12:90), so it is conditional upon that. Verses 12:90-91 support that it is conditional, because Joseph and his brothers were sons of Israel / Jacob, and God preferred Joseph and one of his brothers over the sons of Israel who were sinners (12:91). Furthermore, in general, according to Verse 17:70, the children of Adam were preferred, regardless of someone’s race or ethnicity) (The Verses of the Qur’an are not mutually exclusive but complement each other) (Allah knows best)

12:90 They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Indeed, Allah has favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not let go waste the reward of the good-doers." 12:91 They said, "By Allah, certainly Allah has preferred you over us, and indeed, we have been sinners."

(According to Verses 12:90-91, God preferred and favored Joseph and his brother (believed to be Benjamin) over their other brothers. So, among the Children of Israel, the good-doers were favored over the wrongdoers and sinners) (Another point is that, among the sons of Jacob, only Joseph was a Prophet; Joseph’s descendants are at least half Egyptian because Joseph’s wife was Asenath, an Egyptian woman. According to the article “Asenath” by Mary Jane Chaignot on biblewise(dot)com, “she was an Egyptian princess, aristocratic, and high-born. Together, she and Joseph had at least two sons: Ephraim and Manasseh. These sons would become the progenitors of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh”) (Some Jews say that Palestinians are Egyptian, as if Egyptians did not belong to Palestine, and as if Jews were not genetically related to Arabs (e.g., Egyptians), while Arabs are descendants of Abraham. So, some Jews are in fact fratricides (the act of murdering one’s own brother or sister) (Palestinians were genetically “Jews” who converted to Christianity and then to Islam). Even if they were not genetically related, expelling and murdering someone for such a reason is still an abominable and sinful act) (Actually, Palestine was part of Egypt at the time of Moses; so if Palestinians are Egyptian, as some Jews say, then Palestinians are at home, while modern-day Jews came from different parts of Europe, mixed with Europeans, and deviated. According to the Jewish Bible, they were commanded not to marry gentiles: Deuteronomy 7:3-4 states, “Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following me …”) (Allah knows best)

12:99 Then when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to himself and said, "Enter Egypt if Allah wills, safe."

(Moses was to settle his people in Egypt (10:87), and Joseph said to his parents, “enter Egypt.” The Qur’an does not mention entering a place to be named “Israel”) (The Jewish Bible in fact agrees on this point. The land of Canaan was essentially an Egyptian province. The paradox is that if a group of people “left” Egypt to go to Canaan in 1300 BCE, they were technically ‘leaving Egypt to go to Egypt.’”) (Allah knows best)

12:56 And thus We established Joseph in the land to settle therein wherever he willed. We bestow Our mercy (on) whom We will, and We do not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.

(Ultimately, anyone has the right to settle wherever they will; it is a human right. But regarding the Palestinians, they have lived in Palestine permanently-it’s their home. Wanting to drive them out or kill them is satanic, polytheistic (following rabbis/people rather than God) and an act of terrorism.) (Allah knows best)

7:137 And We made inheritors, the people who were considered weak - the eastern (parts) of the land and the western (parts) of it, which We blessed. And the best word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because they were patient. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people used to make, and what they used to erect. 7:138 And We led the Children of Israel across the sea. Then they came upon a people devoted to idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god as they have gods. He said, "Indeed, you are an ignorant people.

(One interpretation of Verse 7:137 is that only the people of Pharaoh were destroyed (8:54); so it does not imply that all Egyptians were to be destroyed. On the contrary, for example, Pharaoh’s wife (66:11), the magicians (7:120-121), and a man from the family of Pharaoh (40:28) became believers, so they were no longer considered among the “people of Pharaoh.” Thus, the land was inherited by the weak among the Egyptians themselves, who are not considered “people of Pharaoh.” Verse 10:83 confirms that people did not believe Moses for fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, lest they be persecuted, because Pharaoh was a tyrant (10:83). On the other hand, the Children of Israel were led across the sea (7:138) rather than staying there, and they found a people already living there who were devoted to idols. Verses 7:137-138 do not specify if the place was Egypt or belonged to Egypt, but Verse 10:87 explicitly says: “We inspired [to] Moses and his brother, ‘Settle your people in Egypt’”) (Actually, Palestine belonged to Egypt at the time of Moses, so by crossing the sea, they were still in Egypt. According to the article “Moses” on wikipedia, the lifetime of Moses was sometime between 13th and 16th BCE. The map below confirms that Palestine/Israel belonged to the Egyptian Empire in the 15th century BC (Source: ancient(dot)eu”)) (Verse 10:90 confirms that the Children of Israel were taken across the sea while they were fleeing, so being led to the sea may have been for the purpose of drowning Pharaoh and his people rather than entering a land other than Egypt or leaving Egypt, because Moses was to settle his people in Egypt (10:87)) (Those who are devoted to idols (7:138) are not to inherit the land; in that sense, Palestinians are not devoted to idols, as Muslims only worship God) (Allah knows best)

37:113 And We blessed him and Isaac. And (some) among their offspring are good-doers and (some) are clearly unjust to himself.

10:93 And verily, We settled the Children of Israel in an honorable settlement, and We provided them with good things, and they did not differ until knowledge came to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

(According to the article “The origin of Palestinians and their genetic relatedness with other Mediterranean populations” in ncbi(dot)nlm(dot)nih(dot)gov, “Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based on cultural and religious, but not genetic, differences”) (Another source, the article “the population genetics of the Jewish people” by Harry Ostrer and Karl Skorecki, says that “A high degree of European admixture (30-60%) was observed among Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Italian, and Syrian Jews. The proportion of European admixture among North African Jewish groups increased from east to west, with Moroccan Jews demonstrating the highest proportion. In contrast, the corresponding non-Jewish North African host populations demonstrated substantially higher inferred North African ancestry and less European ancestry”) (In conclusion, the racist and xenophobic European Jewish claim that Palestinians are Egyptians-made in order to expel Palestinians from Palestine-is wrong. Genetics support that Palestinians, and Arabs in general, belong to Palestine more than modern Jewish populations. In Islam, the religion of Abraham revealed by God for mankind, race or ethnicity is irrelevant to becoming a Muslim (aka submitting to God)) (Allah knows best)

24:55 Allah has promised those who believe among you and do righteous deeds, that He will surely grant them succession in the earth, as He gave succession to those before them, and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has approved for them, and surely He will change for them, after their fear, security (for) they worship Me, they do not associate anything with Me. But whoever disbelieved after that, then those are the defiantly disobedient.

2:224 And do not make Allah an excuse in your oaths that you do good, and be righteous and make peace between people. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

(Jews use God as an excuse to evict Palestinians from their homes, even though there is no such command. If there were such a command, Muslims would be the first to obey it by leaving Palestine. A land would not be given to wrongdoers or people who reject Jesus and Muhammad) (Furthermore, nations must be concerned that no support or help should be allowed for killing, lest they be complicit in acts of terrorism, or eviction of people from their homes-support which the USA currently provides, much as they did against the Native Americans. Nations should also be concerned about the extremism in the Torah, such as honor killing, a raped girl being forced to marry her rapist, stoning, women being forced to have relations with her husband’s brother, incest, the killing of old men, women, mothers, children, babies, and cattle (Ezekiel 9:5-6, 1 Samuel 15:3), cannibalism, etc.) (The Jewish Bible had many authors over time who had no authority to corrupt the Scripture. Therefore, the Jewish Bible should not be followed because it contains man-made rules and is not a reliable source. See the link below, “Is the Bible corrupted?”) (In Islam, as revealed by God, fighting is only permitted in the context of self-defense and against oppression) (Allah knows best)

60:1 O you who believe, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies offering them love while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, driving out the Messenger and yourselves because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you come forth to strive in My way and to seek My Pleasure. You confide to them love, but I Am most knowing of what you conceal and what you declare. And whoever does it among you then he has certainly strayed from the straight path. 60:2 If they gain dominance over you, they would be you enemies and extend against you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they desire that you would disbelieve.

20:85 He said, "But indeed, We [verily] have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray." 20:86 Then Moses returned to his people, angry (and) sorrowful. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Then, did the promise seem long to you, or did you desire that the Anger of your Lord descend upon you, so you broke (the) promise to me?" 20:87 They said, "We did not break (our) promise to you by our (own) will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people, so we threw them, and thus threw the Samiri." 20:88 Then he brought forth for them a calf's body which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot." 20:89 Then, did they not see that it could not return to them a word and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit? 20:90 And verily Aaron had said to them before, "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order."

(Aaron did not worship the calf; instead, he asked them to follow him and obey his order because they were only being tested by it (20:90)) (Verse 20:85 specifies that the Samiri led the people of Moses astray, so the people of Moses were the wrongdoers (7:148), excluding Moses and Aaron) (Another point is that Jewish sources defame Jesus, Aaron, Mary, Samaritans, etc., and the Jewish Bible says that Isaac was Abraham’s only son, even though Ishmael is his brother and was born first. This makes the Jewish sources unreliable; even if the Jewish Bible were to say that Palestine is for the Jews, one cannot trust the sources of those who corrupt the scripture, and oppose God and His Messengers, and who usually and wrongly defame people even today) (Allah knows best)

28:4 Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into sects, oppressing a group among them, slaughtering their sons and letting live their women. Indeed, he was of the corrupters. 28:5 And We wanted to bestow a favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors, 28:6 And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts through them that which they were fearing.

(The oppressed in the land are made inheritors. The Children of Israel were oppressed by Pharaoh, but now many Jews oppress Palestinians. Therefore, the Jews who oppress have no right to the land) (Allah knows best)

17:33 And (do) not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever (is) killed wrongfully, verily We have made for his heir an authority, but he should not exceed in the killing. Indeed, he is helped.

(According to the entire Qur’an, fighting is for self-defense and against oppression. Regarding Judaism, the Jewish Bible in 1 Samuel 15:3 speaks of putting to death women, children, babies, cattle, etc; and in Ezekiel 9:5-6, there is the killing of old men, women, mothers, and children, which is not about self-defense. The paradox is that Hitler did exactly what the Jewish Bible describes, as if he were a practicing Jew in that regard. The world should be concerted about what the Jewish Bible says. Killing innocents is a consequence of what they invented in their own scripture. As a result of their scripture, some Jews use it as an excuse to kill and expel Palestinians from their homes, much as Hitler did to Jews and other groups. History also shows that if Jews were to gain dominance over Christians, they would treat them as they do Palestinians; they would kill Christians as well (as they have actually killed Palestinian Christians). For example, in AD 524, the Yemeni Jewish Himyar tribe, led by king Yusuf Dhu Nuwas, massacred more than 22,000 Christians. It was also alleged that the Talmud contained slanderous references to Jesus and Mary, etc.) (More Slavs were killed in the Holocaust than Jews, but people do not mention it, as if the life of a Jew were more important than the lives of others. In Islam, one soul is as important as all of mankind: “whoever kills a soul other than for a soul or for spreading corruption in the earth, then it is as if he has killed the whole mankind” (5:32)) (Some Jews were Nazis and voted for Hitler, despite Hitler’s speech; and some Jews are Nazis today (aka resembling Nazi ideas or behavior) by killing and expelling Palestinians from their homes) (The Holocaust should not be used by certain Jews to evade responsibility for the actions of the state of Israel or to achieve goals against Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, etc.) (It is said that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, while world war II fatality statistics estimate total deaths ranging from 70 million to 85 million. Thus, Jews made up about 7%-8% of the total, while non-Jews made up 92%-93%) (The Holocaust dominates global public discourse, even though many other events in history resulted in more deaths than Jews’: some sources say that around 34,000,000 died during the European colonization of the Americas (made by Christians); around 34,000,000 died in the Molgol conquests (made by atheists); around 22,000,000 died in the second Sino-Japanese war, etc.) (Allah knows best)

4:5 And do not give the foolish your wealth, which Allah made a means of support for you, but provide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of kindness.

(Besides the killing of innocent people mentioned in 1 Samuel 15:3 and Ezekiel 9:5-6, the Nazi persecution of the disabled also seems based on the Jewish Bible: Leviticus 21:18-21 says, “No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; no man with a crippled foot or hand, or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the Lord by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God”) (Allah knows best)

27:76 Indeed, this Qur’an relates to the Children of Israel most of that (concerning which) they differ in it.

(The Jewish claim that the land belongs exclusively to the descendants of Isaac is not even supported by the Jewish Bible. According to Genesis 15:18, God gives the land to the descendants of Abraham, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates. Since Arabs are also the biological descendants of Abraham through Ishmael, they are inherently included in this covenant) (While Genesis 17:19-21 is often used by Jews to claim that Palestine was reserved only for the descendants of Isaac, this interpretation creates a direct contradiction with the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15:18. According to Genesis 17:4, the covenant is that God will make Abraham the father of many nations; Muslims follow the religion of Abraham, so the covenant is fulfilled with the descendants of Ishmael, not Isaac. Furthermore, Genesis 17:7 says, “I will establish my covenant … to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.” God is the God of both Ishmael and Isaac, and Islam is the religion of Abraham (16:123). The covenant is fulfilled through the descendants of Ishmael. God in the Torah is also the One Who revealed the religion of Abraham in the Qur’an. Genesis 17:8 says, “the whole land of Canaan … I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you”; Abraham’s descendants include both Ishmael and Isaac’s descendants. Genesis 17:10 says, “the covenant you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised”; Muslims are also circumcised) (After Abraham heard that Sarah would bear Isaac, Abraham said in Genesis 17:18, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!” Then, Genesis 17:19 says, “then God said, ‘Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.’” These Verses do not abrogate the Verse about giving Canaan to Ishmael’s descendants as descendants of Abraham; rather, they include Isaac’s descendants in addition to Ishmael’s. Genesis 17:19 says “YES” to Abraham’s petition that “ONLY Ishmael might live under your blessing” (after hearing the news about having Isaac) (Note: The Hebrew text uses the word “abel,” falsely interpreted as “no“ or “but,” by Jews and Christians, while in ancient Hebrew, “abel” is a solemn affirmation meaning “truly,” “indeed,” or “yes.” Evidence for this is found, for example, in Genesis 42:21, where Joseph’s brothers realize their guilt, they say “abel ashemim anachnu,” which is interpreted as “truly / verily we are guilty.” So, it is an emphatic “yes”. In addition, Genesis 17:20 says: “And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.” This is fulfilled with the descendants of Ishmael. Genesis 17:21 says, “but my covenant I will establish with Isaac,” which is understood by Jews as abrogating the covenant for Ishmael’s descendants. However, in context, Abraham wanted “only Ishmael”, and establishing the covenant with Isaac in addition implies it is for both Isaac and Ishmael’s descendants, under the condition of good deeds (Leviticus 18:24-28). Since Jews reject the Prophets (Jesus and Muhammad), Palestine belongs to Muslims: whether Arab or Jew converted to Islam) (Another point is that many Arabs are descendants of both Isaac and Ishmael through intermarriage, and Palestinians were originally Jews who converted to Islam,… . But Arabs, or Palestinians, who are also descendants of Isaac, are rejected by Jews for religious reasons. And Jews invented the false concept of being a Jew/children of Israel only if the female line was never broken at any point, contradicting the Hebrew Bible (Torah), in which identity often appeared through the father (Numbers 1:2, 1:18,…)) (Another point is that Jews originally came from indigenous Levantines (Canaanites). Likewise, Palestinian people are mainly indigenous Levantines / Canaanites (80%+), but converted to Christianity, then to Islam. In genetics, Palestinians represent the original Abrahamic stock more directly than those Jewish populations who came from Europe (Ashkenazi is between 40-60% Levantine, so the admixture with Europeans is very high), as Palestinians have remained in the land of their ancestors since the time of Isaac and Ishmael. Considering that Palestinians are the ones who follow/believe in all Prophets, then they are descendants and authentic followers of Abraham, and they are also the righteous ones; therefore, they are those who were given the land (according to the Jewish Bible). But, according to Islam, anyone could move on earth wherever they want (4:100), as long as they maintain good behavior. Muslims from Palestine and non-Palestinian ones are all brothers. Some Jews cannot make God an excuse to expel people from their homes (2:85, 16:90)) (Notice also that Mizrahi Jews are nearly identical to Palestinians, and Sephardic Jews are very close to Palestinians. In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the history of Zionism, there are specific historical reasons why the Ashkenazi population is often the primary focus of criticism. The modern political movement of Zionism began primarily in Europe among Ashkenazi Jews. The paradox is that those violent mixed Jews among them (while they were commanded not to mix) are the ones who make trouble (murder, genocide) and want to kill and expel the local ones, while they have no rights over the land because of their evil deeds or disbelief (genocide, murder, they intermarried other groups in disobedience, they follow their rabbis (polytheism), they defame/reject the prophets, etc.)) (Allah knows best)

6:83 And this is Our argument, We gave it to Abraham against his people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 6:84 And We bestowed to him Isaac and Jacob, all We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and of his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. And thus We reward the good-doers. 6:85 And Zechariah and John and Jesus and Elias - all (were) of the righteous. 6:86 And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot, and all We preferred over the worlds. 6:87 And from their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path. 6:88 That is the Guidance of Allah, He guides with it whom He wills of His slaves. But if they (had) associated partners, surely (would be) worthless for them what they used to do. 6:89 Those are the ones whom We gave them the Book and the judgment and the Prophethood. But if they disbelieve in it, then indeed, We have entrusted it to a people who are not disbelievers therein.

14:35 And when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this city secure and keep me and my sons away from worshiping idols. 14:36 My Lord, indeed, they have led astray many among mankind. So whoever follows me, then indeed, he is of me, and whoever disobeys me, then indeed, You are Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

(Islam is not a new religion. Muslims follow the religion of Abraham (2:135, 3:95, 4:125, 6:161, 16:123)) (Abraham said, “whoever follows me, then indeed, he is of me”. So, ultimately, regardless of race or ethnicity, whoever follows Abraham-as only Muslims truly do-is of him) (Jews and Christians mix truth with falsehood) (Allah knows best)

17:1 Exalted is the One Who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, which its surroundings We blessed, that We may show him of Our Signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

(“Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa” and its surroundings are mentioned in the Qur’an. It is a place of prostration in Palestine for the Muslims/Submitted ones) (Allah knows best)

2:42 And do not mix the Truth with falsehood and conceal the Truth while you know.

(Regarding the evidence that 1 Samuel and Ezekiel were corrupted: the Qur’an, used as a Criterion, is evidence that the Jewish Bible was corrupted. There are mathematical and scientific evidences that the Qur’an is from God. The falsehood in 1 Samuel and Ezekiel consists of extreme violence, sins attributed to prophets, historical errors introduced by scribes over centuries of oral and written transmission… . Narrative discrepancies between the Books of Samuel and Kings (which cover the same history) are proof of human error. It is said that during the destruction of the First Temple and the subsequent exile, the original scrolls of Ezekiel and Samuel were lost or destroyed. The Book of Samuel was compiled by anonymous editors long after Samuel died, showing a broken chain of narration, which is proof that the text is a human history book rather than a purely divine revelation. The Book of Ezekiel falsely gives God human flaws, such as regret. Further evidence includes stylistic shifts and contradictions within 1 Samuel, such as additions in 1 Samuel 8 and 15; shifts in the style and language used in chapter 16; and clear contradictions in chapter 17, … . And there are style shifts within Ezekiel (e.g., style changes in chapter 33 and on; a massive stylistic shift in chapters 40-48, etc.), etc.) (Allah knows best)
