My friend Arnon Katz who is from Israel wants to Discuss this, can you discuss it with him ? Rehan, can you please ask your expert for interpretation to this phrases from the Quran: the Qur'an says that God gave the Land of Israel to the Jews ! It [the Qur'an] "is a guide for the righteous, who have faith in the unseen and are steadfast in prayer" [Qur'an: Sura 2, "The Cow", verse 2] It [the Qur'an] is "a confirmation of previous scriptures" (i.e., the Bible) [Qur'an: Sura 12, "Joseph", verse 112] "We [Muslims] believe in that which was revealed to us [the Qur'an] and that which was revealed to you [the Torah]. Our God and your God is one. To Him we surrender ourselves". [Qur'an: Sura 29, "The Spider", verse 47] "Enter, My People, the Holy Land which Allah has assigned for you. Do not turn back, or you shall be ruined". [Qur'an: Sura 5, "The Table, verse 21] "We [Allah] settled the Israelites in a blessed land and provided them with good things". [Qur'an: Sura 10, "Jonah", verse 93] "Pharoah sought to scare them [the Jews] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him, together with all who were with him. Then We said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land. When the promise of the hereafter comes to be fulfilled, We shall assemble you all together [in the Land of Israel in the End of Days]". [Qur'an: Sura 17, "The Night Journey", verse 103] "it was Our [Allah's] will to favour those who were oppressed [the Jews] and to make them leaders of mankind, to bestow on them a noble heritage and to give them power in the land [of Israel]: and to inflict on Pharoah, Haman, and their army, the very scourge dreaded by their victims". [Qur'an: Sura 28, "The Story", verses 5-6] "We [Allah] gave the persecuted people [the Jews] dominion over the eastern and western lands which We had blessed [the east and west banks of the Jordan River]. Thus your Lord's gracious word was fulfilled for the Israelites, because they had endured with fortitude; and We destroyed the edifices and towers of Pharoah and his people". [Qur'an: Sura 7, "The Heights", verse 137] "To Moses We gave the Scriptures, a perfect code for the righteous, with precepts about all things, and a guide and a blessing, so that his people might believe in the ultimate meeting with their Lord". [Qur'an: Sura 6, "Cattle", verse 155] "tell of Our servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: men of might and vision whom We made pure with the thought of the hereafter. They shall dwell with Us among the righteous whom We have chosen". [Qur'an: Sura 38, "Sad", verse 46] "Glory be to Him [Allah] who made His servants [Muhammed and El Burak] go by night from the Sacred Temple [of Mecca] to the farther Temple [of Jerusalem], whose surroundings We have blessed, that We might show him some of Our signs. He [Allah] alone hears all and observes all. We [Allah] gave Moses the Scriptures and made them a guide for the Israelites, saying, 'Take no other guardian than Myself. You are the descendants of those whom We carried in the Ark with Noah. He was a truly thankful servant'". [Qur'an: Sura 17, "The Night Journey", verses 1-3] "We gave the Scriptures to the Israelites and bestowed on them wisdom and prophethood. We provided them with good things and exalted them above the nations". [Qur'an: Sura 45, "Kneeling", verses 16-17] "There is guidance, and there is light, in the Torah which We [Allah] have revealed. By it the prophets who surrendered themselves to Allah judged the Jews, and so did the rabbis and the divines; they gave judgement according to Allah's scriptures which had been committed to their keeping and to which they were witnesses". [Qur'an: Sura 5, "The Table", verses 44-45]
