" Jerusalem In The Quran "

Introduction to " Jerusalem In The Quran " - Imran N. Hosein

In the thirteenth year of his mission as Allah’s last Prophet on earth, Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
was forced to leave his beloved city of Makkah and seek refuge in the distant Northern Arabian city of Yathrib (later
renamed Madīnah). He had to leave because pagan Arabia was waging unjust war on Islam. Today, once again, an
ostensibly Jewish-Christian but essentially pagan Euro-world-order is waging unjust war on Islam with the same venom
and fury with which it was waged by pagan Arabia.
When the Prophet arrived in Madīnah his long-awaited tryst with the Jews began. And today’s stage of ‘their’ war
on Islam marks the final chapter of that tryst. Islam emerged victorious from that first encounter, and it is as certain as
the day follows the night that Islam will again emerge victorious in this final encounter with which history will end. We
wrote the book entitled ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’ān’ in order to explain that subject and to refute all the false and devilish
propaganda against Islam with which those enemies have now inundated the world.
The Holy Qur’ān itself described the Jews as a people who believed that they were the “chosen people of the Lord-
God to the exclusion of all the rest of mankind” with privileged access to truth and that “heaven was reserved for them.” Yet
their hearts were entirely wedded to this world and they longed “to live for a thousand years.” Consider the following
verses of the Qur’ān:
Say: "If the last abode (i.e., heaven), with
Allah, be for you alone, and for no one else,
then why do you not desire death, if you are
sincere (concerning this belief)."
“But they will never desire death on
account of the (sins) which they have
committed, and Allah well knows those who
commit Dhulm (i.e., oppression, injustice,
etc.).”
“You will certainly find them, of all
people, to be the most desirous for (long)
life, even more so than those who worship
idols: each one of them wishes he could be
given a life-span of a thousand years: but
the grant of such a life-span will not save
him from (due) punishment. For Allah
sees well all that they do.”
(Qur’ān, al-Baqarah, 94-6)
