The Israelites and the Promised Land

The Israelites and the Promised Land

• The Israelites are the children of Israel, not the same as the modern-day Israeli state.
• The name "Israel" is another name for the prophet Yaqub (Jacob), a great messenger of Allah.
• The Israelites were promised the holy land of Al-Aqsa (Jerusalem) by Allah, conditional upon upholding justice, righteousness, and following Allah's law.

The History of the Israelites

• The Israelites were under Pharaonic rule and were oppressed, tortured, and turned into slaves in Egypt.
• Allah sent Moses to save them, and they were eventually given the promise of the holy land.
• They broke the covenant by not following Allah's law, and as a result, they were forbidden from entering the holy land for 40 years.

Modern-Day Israel and Zionism

• Modern-day Israel is not the same as the Israelites, and its establishment is based on a corrupt and oppressive ideology.
• Zionism is a political movement that seeks to establish a Jewish state in the land of Palestine, disregarding the rights and existence of the indigenous Palestinian population.
• Netanyahu's government's policies of annexation and dispossession have led to the catastrophe, as stated by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The Children of Israel and the Prophets

• The children of Israel include many great prophets and messengers, such as Jesus, son of Mary, and John the Baptist.
• They were given the responsibility of upholding Allah's law and spreading justice, but they failed to do so.
• The Quran confirms that the children of Israel were favored by Allah above other people, but this favor was conditional upon them upholding the trust and following Allah's law.

Current Situation and Victory

• The current Israeli state is built on corruption, oppression, and the dispossession of the Palestinian people.
• True victory is not about controlling land or material power but about standing up for justice, faith, and the cause of Allah.

Muslims and the Concept of Submission

• A Muslim is someone who submits and surrenders to Allah, meaning they obey and follow the words of God.
• Muslims believe that they would follow the original Torah sent upon Moses, the original Injil sent upon Isa (Jesus), and the Quran sent upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them).

The History of the Children of Israel

• The Children of Israel were a righteous people, but they lost their way and corrupted their faith.
• Allah sent prophets and messengers to guide them, but they rejected them and broke their covenants.
• The Roman Empire and other empires took over the land of the Children of Israel, leading to their dispersion and exile.

The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah

• After the death of Prophet Sulayman (Solomon), the kingdom of Israel split into two parts: the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
• The Kingdom of Judah was named after Judah, one of the children of Prophet Ya'qub (Jacob).

The Name "Jews" and Its Origins

• The name "Jews" comes from the Kingdom of Judah, which was the last kingdom to fall.
• The term "Jews" does not refer to the original Children of Israel, but rather to those who became Jews later on.

The Covenant with the Children of Israel

• Allah made a covenant with the Children of Israel twice, but they broke it both times.
• The covenant was to hold on to the Torah and the words of Allah.

The History of Zionism

• Zionism was invented in the late 1800s by Theodore Herzl, an Austrian man of Jewish heritage.
• The ideology is based on the idea that the Jews have a promised land from God and a right to establish an Israeli state by force if necessary.
• Many Orthodox Jews reject Zionism.
