Palenistine is land of jew...Please answer the qs
Question
I need to know what the Koran says about Israel. I am in this community and some Jews are asking questions about the Koran saying that the Koran acknowledges that Israel is the land of Palestine and the Jews are promised that in the Koran. They say it was mentioned in the Koran that David was promised Palestine and it was called Israel. They also say that God choose the Jews to inherit that land. Please give me information to help me. THANKYOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND MAY ALLAH GUIDE AND BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GOOD DEED.
Answer
Every claim made by the Jews is incorrect.
The Qur'aan does not; a) Acknowledge Israel belonging to the Jews, b)
Promise David Palestine, c) State Jews inheriting Palestine.
Rather, the Qur'aan clearly states, 'Disgrace and poverty has been put upon
the Jews.' That is due to them being disobedient to Allah and His Prophets
(Alayhimus salaam). Their success and dignity lies in accepting Islam as
some Jews did at the time of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), for
example, Abdullah ibn Salaam.
We advise Muslims politely explain Jewish individuals the reality of Islam,
perchance, that attitude may be a means of Hidaayat (guidance) for some. Don
't be rude and evil to them.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
