THE QUR'AN SAYS:  G-D GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWS AND WILL RESTORE THEM TO IT AT THE END OF DAYS

Commentary on "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104 by Sheikh Professor Abdul Hadi Palazzi and Dr. Asher Eder

JERUSALEM, September 30, 1997, Root & Branch:

 THESIS - G-d gave the Land of Israel to the Jews and will restore them to it at the End of Days.

"To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs.  Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them.  Pharoah said to him:  ‘Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.’  ‘You know full well,’ he [Moses] replied, ‘that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs.  Pharoah, you are doomed.’"

"Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites:  ‘Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel].  When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]."

"We [Allah] have revealed the Qur'an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down.  We have sent you [Mohammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning."

[Qur'an, "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104]

Dr. Eder Comments:

The Qur'an confirms the special link between the People and Land of Israel.  The Tanakh (Jewish Bible) repeats this constantly.  The return of the Jews to their Land is also proclaimed by both books.

The Qur'an speaks of the final return of the Jews (Judah) and Ten Lost Tribes (Ephraim) to the Land of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the "Night Journey."  This probably refers to Deuteronomy 30:4-5, where Moses predicts the return of the House of Israel (Judah and Ephraim) from the four ends of the earth, which had never happened before.

Sheikh Professor Palazzi Comments:

G-d wanted to give Avraham a double blessing, through Ishmael and through Isaac, and ordered that Ishmael's descendents should live in the desert of Arabia and Isaac's in Canaan.

The Qur'an recognizes Palestine as the heritage of the Jews and it explains that, before the Last Judgment, Jews will return to dwell there.  This prophecy has already been fulfilled.
