Imran N. Hosein - Jerusalem In The Qur'an (1/15)

Jerusalem in the Quran is a great book that thrilled and delighted me in a number of ways. I am surprised that such a meticulously documented book had to wait for such a long time before seeing the light. It is now more than half a century since the Zionists began their appalling oppression and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people whose only offense is that they happened to live in a country considered by the Jews to be their promised Holy Land.

The Zionists have continuously referred to distorted scriptures from the Torah and other Biblical material to justify their atrocious behavior and to motivate the Jews to establish a State of Israel that extends from the Nile to the Euphrates with Jerusalem as its capital.
For example, David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, is quoted to have said, The Bible is our deed to the land of Israel. Muslim scholars, on the other hand, have largely failed in refuting Zionist claims from authenticated historical and religious sources and have also failed to accomplish their religious responsibility in clearly documenting this question from the Holy Quran and the Blessed Ahadith of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As far as I know, whatever is written on this subject is rather superficial and emotionally tainted or simply stating facts in a cool manner.

May Allah Taala reward Brother Imran Hosein for writing this scholarly document, which will indeed fill up this intellectual and religious gap and serve as an academic reference to Muslims in all parts of the world. As I write this introduction, this book that was published only this year is already being translated to Arabic and Bosnian. In a short time it will be rendered into other European languages and to all the other tongues of the Islamic world.

It must be reported however that the importance of writing a book about the Holy Land in the Quran have not escaped the vision of far-sighted and creative Muslim thinkers such as Dr. Kalim Siddiqui, Founder-President of the Muslim Institute for Research and Planning, and Professor (Shaheed) Ismail Al-Farouqi. I am surprised at the vision of the former scholar who asked Imran Hosein to write this book as early as 1974. He urged him saying that Jerusalem is the key to understanding the historical process of the Middle East and the world at large. Shaikh Imran successfully accomplished this task after 27years. Though seemingly late, but it has come at the right time in which the whole world is being shocked by Jenin and what happened in Sabra and Shatila.

Ismail Al-Faruqi actually put this issue in writing in his book, Islam and the Problem of Israel that the author referred to. He strongly stated that Israel poses a greater danger to Muslims than the Euro-Christian Crusades of the Middle Ages or the Euro-Colonialism of modern times. Israel, he wrote, is neither of these, but that it is both and more, much more. He therefore urged Arabs and Muslims not to accept the Jewish State as an integral part of the world nations of Asia and Africa. He also incited Muslim scholars to investigate this issue in depth. I am sure that if both of these great Muslim thinkers were alive, they would have acclaimed this classic book as what they have aspired for.

I am amazed by Imrans style of writing. Though Jerusalem in the Quran, is a meticulously written thesis combining religious and historical documents with recent political events and penetrating interpretations from the Quran and Hadith, it runs like a story. Once you begin reading it, it is hard to stop. This is the general quality of a novel. The person would read it once and throw the book away - but not that of a serious thought-provoking dissertation like the book that Brother Shaikh Imran published. It is a reference that one needs to keep and reread whenever the subject is to be researched. I believe that this eloquence of the Shaikh must be the result of a natural gift that has interacted with his indefatigable work as a preacher and daiyah and the Divine Blessings for his sincerity...

Horrible gibberish. mohammed was a false prophet. Wake up people!

p.s. Jesus IS God. Wake up and smell the 21st century. Learn about the trinity. Such lost souls. May God show you the way and open your Hearts.

@YouCruising Did you know "gibberish" stems from Al-Jabir, whose writing was written in a secret code referred to as "Jabirish", which you are now using? Pretty amusing I think.

Yet another know-it-all troll.

[YouCruising]

@IfItIsAllahsWill You got that right (re "wise" part). And ACTUALLY, the origins: "it is derived from the root of the Irish word gob or gab (mouth)." And what you're referring to is not close being true, either. There is another false thought it's derived from: "British territory of Gibraltar, which is unintelligible to non-natives." However, that would be a mix from many ethnic backgrounds including: Hebrew & Hindu. That's actually more amusing, don't ya think? Anymore false teachings, sensei?

[IfItIsAllahsWill]

@YouCruising Oooh, someone knows how to use Wikipedia. No wonder you come here speaking such stupidity, you rely upon the consensus for your knowledge, not facts. Too bad the etymology of the word can be traced back to the Middle East before any of the examples you gave.

Go back under your bridge and sit on your cross, you troll.

@YouCruising You are misguided the people that wrote about the trinity did not even knew Jesus(pbuh) you are so blinded by false guidance, if you don't change that you will pay for it in the end, the bible is corrupted most of the new testament is false, do research then come back with ''gibberish''

For more than 1432 years ... and no human being on this planet was able to bring a chapter ( not a book ) like a chapter in the Quran....Not a single man could win in this challenge.

‎23. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.

24. But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

@YouCruising Allah is the GOD and only one. Jesus is also a prophet. GOD cannot die and does not need any thing from this little world. You cannot prove what you are saying. GOD is only one. he does not have a son. I did not want to argue with you because it is useless. If Allah wants you to believe he has the power but not i cannot do anything. My duty was to give you a message that is all. Thanks May Allah guide you.
