Now my world is
and welcome to the straight path. I'm
your host Fuad Muhammad. Israel, the
so-called Jewish state, if it's correct
to say the word Israel as the name of a
country, was established in 1948.
Today, the Jews are claiming and they
want to make Jerusalem the Jewish
capital. But, however, why are they so
enthusiastic in making Jerusalem their
capital? And what are the history of
this country of Israel? Where did the
meaning of Israel come? We'll be
discussing this on the straight path.
But before I do, we'll take a short look
at the report at a report that talks
about a bit of the history of Jerusalem
and a history of the Al Axa mosque. Take
a look inshallah.

Mash a the proceeding is a brief summary
on the history of Mashel Aar going back
from 5,000 years since the time the Bun
were dominating. Then from their family
came alan which were a people that had
Arab. They were a people that were good
toss and so was good to them.
Puts became more developed with
buildings and the population grew. The
many olive trees and kuds were a symbol
of love and a sign of gratitude to its
people. During this times went through
more than 25 different battles and still
Kuds and his people were in a good
state. Puts is considered to be a main
historic site filled with symbolic
meanings and very unique city. Puts is
like that of a bridge which joins
between the heavens and the earth since
many
is like that of a bridge.
Since many prophets descended there like
a fresh pure flowing river like a bright
light for a traveler trying to find his
way in the dark. Ever since the night of
the ascension, puts became the first
kibla for the Muslims. They all faced
the direction of puts with their hearts
before actually seeing it with their
eyes. Puts lived in the hearts of
Muslims before they lived in. And every
Muslim was anxious to visit puts.
In the year 636 according to
English calendars became under the rule
of Omar
may Allah be pleased with him the second
Khalifa of Islam has a very interesting
past
reached its peak in advancement after
becoming under the rule of Islam such
that many other nations were surprised
and why shouldn't have cuts surpassed
other nations and the one who opened to
the Muslims from the very first was our
noble messenger peace be upon him. It is
reported that the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said there
will always be a group from my ummah
upholding the truth victorious over
their enemies. They are not harmed by
those who oppose them nor by what
afflictions befall them until the
command of Allah comes to them. The
Sahab was asked, "Oh messenger of Allah,
where are these people?" He said, "They
are by Muktus and around Betus.

Mash a or the sacred size reaches
146 dulma 1,000 cubic m and it includes
all of the area that is in the vicinity
of the fetus around masjid a in it are
many walkways and places of shade to
sit.
which the kings and rulers had built.
There are many places for drinking fresh
water. The most popular of them is that
which was built by
and there are more than 25 wells of
fresh water therein. This is the famous
mash that the
lay out for its future plans. As for its
present day appearance, that was begun
by the Khalifa Abdul Malik ibn Mirwan
and completed by his son Wal who
inherited the caliphate from him in the
year 705.
According to the English calendar, it
was a custom of the old to light up
candles around the sacred masid of aa.
There used to be a sum
1,700 candles around the masid. And
whoever wasn't able to visit the masid,
they would send candles and oil so that
it could be used to light up around the
masid.
There is no disagreement amongst the
historians that the honorable dome of
the rock masid has one of the most
beautiful and unique architectural
designs on the face of this planet. Raja
ibn Haya al- Ki who is from Ban and
Yazid Ib Islam who is from were the two
engineers that were responsible for
overseeing the building and planning of
the masid which took place in the year
691
according to the English calendar under
the rule of Abdul Malikwan
the Umawia Empire
certainly contributed tremendously to
the development of Kutz and a creative
handcarved surahim
which is said to be the heart of the
Quran in the heart of Palestine Kutz
which was filled with pure belief of
throughout all times. The sacred area of
Kutz has 10 doors to enter into it and
the city of Kutz which is now called
the old city has seven doors in addition
to some of the ancient doors which are
now closed to the sacred area of Kutz
and to the city. The fence around was
destroyed more than 17 times during its
history, but it would rapidly redevelop
after each type. The fence around was
destroyed more than 17 times during its
history, but it would rapidly redevelop
after each time. The last renovation
that was done was in the time of Sultan
Almuni
in the year 1536 according to English
calendar. Around it was built four
extremely high minets and 34 towers. The
sacred area of is filled with blessings,
honor and beauty. Its minets sing the
praises of Allah. Its domes high in
beauty climb the skies.
Its places of prayer point to none other
than purity
and its numerous meeting places hold
tight memories of noble people. On July
30th, 1980, the Parliament of Israel and
its two main political parties joined
together for a legislation that would
make Kutz the capital of Israel. We must
defend this sacred city of Islam which
is considered to be the third sacred
city. We must be willing to defend it
with all our might and power and not be
miserly with our money and blood in
doing so. Especially in a time where
people have forgotten and forgotten its
sacredness. In just a matter of 100
years, the masid ala was changed into an
office and the dome of the rock into a
synagogue and the prayer area that the
Muslims would pray in into a stable for
horses. The adan was no longer heard in
until Allah willed for the sacred city
to return by the hands of one who would
remove this oppression and stand for
justice. So then came Surahin Alubi and
entered Kutz carrying the flag of after
the battle of in the year 1178 according
to English calendar. He and his
victorious army prayed there together
wearing their armor following the
honorable legacy of our noble prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him.
Oh,
if you're wondering what the word could
mean in the report, it means Jerusalem.
And today's topic is about the history
of Israel and Jerusalem and why they're
so uh enthusiastic in making it the
Jewish state. We have a guest to talk
about this, but we'll take a short break
and we'll be back right after this.
Islam is
[Music]
[Applause]
now reaching every corner of the world.
Watch Huda via live streaming on
www.huda.tv.
[Music]
The world of Islam at your fingertips.
Hudda. A light in every home.
is my
We're back and you're watching the
straight path. Today we're talking about
the history of Israel and the history of
Jerusalem. We also we're also going to
shed some light on what is Judaism, what
is the Jewish faith, maybe lack of
understanding what there really is is
lack of reaching what is what we want in
that area called peace. Well, to talk
more about this topic, we have with us
brother Ahmed Rajab. Salam allayikum,
brother.
It's a pleasure having you back here on
the straight path.
Thank you very much.
We're talking about about a very touchy
and interesting topic. Many of which um
a topic of which many Muslims don't
don't have any knowledge about. They
don't have any knowledge about it nor
they see it very um encouraging to find
out more about it. But I'm sure if we
really do understand about it about this
topic then it would give us a better
understanding of the conflict in
Palestine. My first question to you uh
brother Ahmed is that we hear the state
of Israel the children of Israel who is
really Israel
by the name of Allah the most gracious
the most merciful. Uh first of all we to
before we start to talk about uh how we
can solve the problem of Israel or uh
the Palestinians we need to understand
who is the other part so we can
understand them better and deal with
them in a better way. First of all
Israel who is Israel. Uh if we read the
Quran as well uh as the the Bible, we
will see that um Israel is prophet Jacob
who is Yah in Arabic and uh the changing
of his name has a story behind it.
Subhan
uh if you read the story in the Bible,
you will see that it's a very odd story.
Immediately you will feel uh shaken if
you read it. In Genesis 32, uh you will
see that um prophet Jacob, he was
walking according to the Bible and from
the Christian point of view, he met God,
God in flesh.
Mhm.
As a man and he was in wrestling like
they are wrestling together
and uh God couldn't overpower Jacob.
It's very
uh he couldn't. So um and even though
that that he's God, but it it shows that
the struggling to the point that Jacob
hold God and God told him, "Please leave
me alone. I have to go. The dawn is
coming." So Jacob told God, "Don't I
will not let you go till you give me the
blessings."
So who's that man supposedly to be God?
He told him what's your name? And then
he asked himself uh he he told him my
name is Jacob. He said you from now your
name is not Jacob your name is Israel.
So this is the story of changing the
name from Jacob to Israel. The Jews they
don't believe that this man was God.
They believe that he wasn't just an
angel.
But the Christian they say that he is
God. And if you from a neutral point of
view when you read the the statement, it
has to be God because it says after he
told him that your name is Israel,
Jacob made a comment and he said, "And I
saw God face to face."
Yes.
So now we can see why the Christians are
saying that he saw God and that was God
who was wrestling with him. Mhm.
Of course, anyone who has a right mind,
he will refute the whole story.
Yes.
Uh after this um we know now the the
story of the name of Israel.
Mhm.
Jacob had 12 sons.
Yes.
And those are the 12 tribes of Israel.
Okay.
And after those u many years the ca um
prophet Moses came and after Moses you
see that Moses were thus just with one
of those tribes not all of them.
Okay.
And after this there was one tribe and
the head of the tribe his name is was
Judah.
Mhm.
Judah.
Okay.
So the people who were ruled by Judah
they want to call themselves something.
Mhm.
to be distinguished from the other
children of Israel.
So they call themselves
uh Jewish people, the Jewish people.
Okay.
If you go through um and they want to
call their their religion something.
Yes.
So they call it according to Judah, they
called it Judaism.
Okay.
And I'm challenging anybody, anybody
that can show me one word, the word of
Judaism in their book.
In the in the Jewish books, there is no
one single word that says Judaism.
You will not find it. So even though
that they call it the Judaism religion,
there is no such thing called Judaism
religion. The religion in fact it's a
monotheism religion.
Yes. So if you go back to the reality,
nobody should be called a Jewish person
as a religion uh description
but as a race
uh is will describe him more.
So so Judah was was a person a man.
Yes. Was a person was a man. He was not
a prophet or anything. He was just the
leader of the tribe or the or the king
of this tribe. And they want to call
themselves something to be different
than the other tribes. So they call
themselves uh the Jewish people.
Yeah. Okay. You just said it's it was a
religion of monotheism.
Yes.
Um so what really is the Jew Jew the
Jewish religion today? What is it really
about?
It's the same as before. They have uh
they have to believe there is only one
God
and uh there is no comparison between
him or anything else or anyone else.
Even there they have in the Old
Testament in numbers 23:19 that says God
says I'm uh that God is not a man and
he's not a son of man that it's
impossible that he will be a man and
it's impossible that he will be a son of
man.
Yes.
And nothing is like him and he's like
nobody.
So they believe their point of view of
God is the same as Muslims. Exactly.
But they have laws that they have to
follow.
Uh it's very uh complicated laws.
some of it um is too difficult for them
to uh to follow actually.
For example,
for example, if you see one of the
things that I always show it to people
that this book it's impossible to be all
of it from God.
Mhm. One of the one of the things they
say if a woman commit adultery and you
want to know if she what she she's
guilty or not then bring the priest and
he will bless the water. Put water in a
bucket and put sand or dust in the water
and she has to drink it. If she's
swollen then she's guilty. If she's not
swollen then she's innocent.
And this is in the book.
And this is in their book. Then what in
the why in the world they don't do this
now? Why Bill Clinton they could do this
easily without the DNA or anything like
that?
You so that shows how things are
ridiculous that they put it to increase
the importance of the priests
because priest wants to be very
important and they want to show how how
much power they have.
Mhm.
And this is one of the things that they
cannot really follow even these days.
Yes. Um and they have other things that
they cannot for example eat the chicken
and egg at the same time. They cannot do
this. They cannot eat milk or any milk
product and meat because milk is made
from uh came from a cow or something
like that. So they made it and you they
cannot even cook milk or or uh milk
product uh in a pot and use the same pot
for meat.
It's too tough. You have to make some
pots for meat and some pots for other
things.
Interesting.
Yes. And uh one of the things that is
really very difficult for them is the
Sabbath
which is the Saturday.
Okay.
They are not allowed to do anything. And
when I'm saying anything is means
anything. They are not allowed to work.
They are not allowed to cross the street
carrying something. They are not allowed
to even um tie knot. uh they are not
allowed to uh to help anybody
um so it's really very difficult uh to
to follow these laws and Allah made made
it so hard on them because they are hard
people
they were questioning too much they go
to details and that's why it keep it
kept being uh more difficult on them
more and more and more
very interestingly that all these laws
it's uh it's vague it's very vague laws
that you cannot really understand or how
to know how to follow it unless you read
the Talmud.
Mhm.
And they have two books.
Okay.
The Torah which is the the they say this
is the revelation of um uh Moses and we
believe the same thing.
The revelation of God to Moses
and the Talmud which they call it the
revelation the oral revelation that it's
been passed through um in an oral way.
It's like hadith. Yes.
In in our religion.
Yes.
Uh so for example they say um in Sabbath
we are not allowed to work but the in
the Talmud it shows what kind of work
that we are not allowed to do.
Mhm.
So this it's like in in Islam in the
Quran it says we have to pray but in
hadith it teach us how to pray.
Yes.
Um it's the same it's the same thing. Uh
so that's why they have any Jew, real
Jew has to uh follow these two books.
What about the the Torah that they're
they're following? Is it um do they have
different types of Torah like how the
Bibles has different version? They have
different version of the Torah.
No, they don't have different versions,
but they might have different uh
translations. They might have different
translations uh from u both are English.
Mhm. But uh they are different in the
translation but they have one one book
they they are not different from each
other.
I want to take you away bit from the
topic brother Ahmed. Um many times we
hear Judaism and Zionism used in the
same sentence.
Okay.
Why?
Well it's because uh Zions uh or the
Zionists uh usually usually I'm saying
usually not all the time. Usually they
are Jews.
Okay. But not every Jewish is Zionist.
Okay.
And uh let's go let's go back a little
bit to um why they want to establish
Israel.
Okay.
What what is the story behind it?
Mhm.
Israel and the promised land. And this
is the all always the the reason of the
conflicts between Muslims in general and
the the Jews.
Mhm. that the Jews are saying that
Israel is their promised land.
Yes.
And the Muslims are living there.
And how come you kick me out from my my
place and you say that God gave it to
you?
Yes.
Well, let's go back to their Bible, to
their book, and we show them that they
have no right for this promised land.
Yes, it's true. It was promised for
them.
Mhm.
But in conditions.
Okay. There were there was some
conditions that they had to follow.
Okay, what were these conditions?
Okay, let me read some passages from the
Bible.
Okay, no problem. No problem.
For example, in Deuteronomy 4:E1, it
says here now, O Israel, the decrees and
laws I am about to teach you. This is
God is talking to them. Mhm.
Follow them so they so that you may live
and may go and take possession of the
land that the Lord, the God of your
father is giving you.
Mhm.
It's very important to um to stress on
this part which says here now Israel the
laws.
Mhm.
I am about to teach you.
Yes,
there are laws.
Yes. that he is teaching you teaching
them follow them that you may live you
may you may yes and may not okay
according if you follow these laws or
you don't follow these laws okay
so unfortunately some of them they just
take okay he gave us the land and ignore
the part that they have to follow and
teach and listen to what are the laws
mhm And after this in Deuteronomy 4:es
25 to 27.
Okay.
You will see here
uh that Allah is talking to them after
you have had children and gr
grandchildren and have lived in the land
a long time.
If you then become corrupt
and make any kind of idol
Mhm.
doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your
God and provoking him to anger, what is
the consequences?
I will call heaven and earth as witness
against you
this day that you will quickly perish.
Subhan Allah.
from the land that you are crossing the
Jordan to possess.
So now if they become bad, if they do
evil, if they don't follow the laws, the
consequences is that they will quickly
perish.
Yes.
From the land.
Yes.
Not from the word. Not from from the
land.
Okay.
After that, they did really do evil. So
there was panor punishment in
Deuteronomy 28:62.
You who were as numer numerous as the
stars in the sky will be left but few in
number
because you did not obey the Lord your
God. So you see now the Jews were before
Jesus, before Christ, before Prophet
Muhammad and still they are the lowest
number among all the religions. They are
only 15 million.
So uh and in Daniel 9 11 all Israel has
trans uh transgressed your law and
turned away refusing to obey you.
Mhm. Therefore, the curses and sworn
judgment written in the laws of Moses,
the servant of God, have been poured out
on us because we have sinned against
you.
Subhan Allah.
So all these passages and all these
verses shows that they disobeyed God.
They didn't follow the law.
Therefore, Allah perished them from the
land and scattered them among the
nations. So it's not after that it
doesn't become the promised land
anymore.
Yes and no.
Okay.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala really he uh
punished them but after this he gave
them another chance.
Mhm.
But the chance has a condition.
Okay.
And they didn't follow it again.
Okay. And um before we go uh this uh
part
I would like to mention that the the
reestablishment of the Israel has many
um passages in the in the Bible.
Mhm.
And the conditions are that they have to
follow the Messiah. They had to have a
Messiah Christ.
Mhm.
Of course they don't believe in Jesus.
So who is the Messiah then?
Who is the Messiah?
This is very very important question.
They don't believe in Jesus. And if I a
Jewish person
Mhm.
and I live these days, I have all the
rights to do not believe. If I hear the
story from Christians, I have all rights
to do not believe that Jesus is Messiah.
Why is that?
Why? Because the signs there is signs
and and uh symbol of the description of
the Messiah in the all in their books.
It says for example in Psalms 91 it
talks about the Messiah
that God concerning him
and this is what it says.
And God concerning you he will send
angels to lift you up so your foot will
not strike a stone.
Mhm. This is when when he asked God to
save him and God says I heard his
prayers and I saved and rescue him.
Okay, we'll continue that story of
brother Ahmed. We'll take a short break
here on the straight path as we continue
to talk more about Judaism and the
history of Israel.
is my sight.
[Music]
The Muslims in particular will have very
good knowledge of Islamic religion and
Islamic law and then will run their
lives according to the injunctions of
Allah. It will enable them to know how
to live peacefully with them in the same
time practice Islamic religion or follow
the injunctions of Allah as requested
and required by Allah.
Now my world is bright.
Islam is my
welcome back. You're watching the
straight path. We're talking about
Judaism and the history of Israel. And
we're joined by our dear brother,
brother Ahmed Rajab. Um, just before
this, you said that the Jews have no
right to believe that Jesus was the
Messiah the way the Bible described him.
Is this correct?
Yes. What I'm saying is if if you read
their book, you will see that the
Messiah or Christ
has to they have their his description,
his story.
So they are waiting for that man.
Yes.
If the Christian says that this is
Jesus, this is the Messiah, this is the
way we look at him, the Jews should say
no, this is will be the opposite of what
we believe. But guess what? If Muslims
tell them the story of Jesus from the
Muslim point of view or the Islamic
point of view, they have no other choice
but to believe that he is Messiah.
Okay.
For example,
Mhm.
they have in Psalms 91.
Mhm.
It says the following. For he will come,
he is God. For he will command his
angels concerning you. You is the
Messiah
to guard you in all your ways. Guard you
in all your ways. They will lift you up
in their hands so that you will not
strike your foot against a stone.
Okay?
You will treat upon the lion and the
cobra
because he loves me, says the Lord. I
will rescue him.
I will protect him for he acknowledged
my name. Now
for Allah's sake, if I ask somebody
if the if the Jews believe that the
Messiah, the angels will come to rescue
him that his foot will not strike a
stone.
How come you can con as a Christian you
can convince him that the Messiah was
crucified on the cross?
Uh interesting.
You understand?
Yes. Yes. Because even if in Islam we
say that it was not him on the cross but
God lift him up.
Exactly. Yes.
This is exactly the description of the
Messiah.
Subhan Allah.
In their book.
Yes.
So there is a contradiction between
Jesus story
about them to them and our story about
Jesus to them.
Yes.
That's why they don't believe that uh
the Messiah should be should get hurt.
Mhm.
Another thing
in Deuteronomy 13.
Mhm.
It says the following. If a prophet or
one who uh foretells by dreams appears
among you and announces to you a
miraculous sign or wonder. And if the
sign or wonder of which he has spoken
takes place and he says let us follow
other gods
and let us worship them. You must not
listen to the words of that prophet or
dreamer. The Lord your God is testing
you to find out whether you love him
with all your heart or or with all your
soul.
Mhm.
Listen to this. That prophet or dreamer
must be put to death.
Okay.
Here it says if there is a prophet or a
dreamer mix miraculous thing. Yes.
Wonders and it took place.
Yes.
And if he tell you come and worship
other gods beside the gods that you
know.
Yes.
Don't believe in him is just God is
testing you.
Okay.
Mhm.
And this prophet or that dreamer, he
will be he will die.
Yes. Now
if you take Jesus story from the
Christian point of view and you present
it to the Jews and you tell them yes he
was making wonders.
Yes.
And according to the Christians he was
talking about trinity
which is something new to the Judaism
monotheism.
Yes.
So they will tell you no we are
monotheistic people. We will not believe
in you.
Yes.
And and this man has to be put on death.
he will die and you said that he died so
he is not the Messiah.
Okay. Subhan Allah. So it shows that
Islam Islam really would support this
perspective from from the Jewish
perspective. Exactly.
Of that Messiah is Jesus but from the
Muslim how the how how Islam described
him to be.
Yes.
Subhan Allah. So Islam really described
Jesus and described uh Jesus accordingly
to what fit in Judaism
and uh let's say not Judaism because
there is no such religion called
Judaism. It's just a race um because
even we we we as we mentioned before
Judah himself
existed after Moses.
Yes.
So what we call Moses then Jewish person
how come he's not Jewish person? because
the word Judaism was not ex did not
exist in the days of Moses.
Uh so yes in Islam it solved this
problem and take it away.
Okay. Some of the viewers may say okay
all the all the contradictions between
Judaism and Christianity. Yet let us
come back to today's world. We find a
lot of Christian states really
supporting Israel and their cause. Yiani
why is this?
Okay, first of all, we have to mention
that uh the Christian support uh some
Christians support some Jews.
Okay.
Not all Christians support all Jews.
Okay.
But who are those Christian and who are
those Jews?
Mhm. Mhm. You will find uh interestingly
that uh in the late of the 18th um 100
you will find that the Zionism movement
started and it's a secular uh Jewish
movement secular Jewish movement not a
religion or religious movement
after this at the same time another sect
or another theology Christian movement
and start to appear
and this um uh church or this way of
doctrine or this doctrine in
Christianity they are not as the
traditional Christians who are for uh
just uh spread the word or the gospel of
Jesus to the Gentiles but you will see
the new ones are uh evangelists who are
interest still interested in the people
of uh of Israel
and still interested in the Jews.
Yes.
And some even Jews who they call
themselves ultraorththodox.
Okay.
Ultra orthodox Jews. They exist. They
are about 50% of the Jewish people
population in the world. They are
against Israel.
Oh really?
Yes. They are against the existence of
Israel. They consider it as a sin that
because if you read the scriptures in
the in the in the Bible, you will see
that the reestablishment of Israel has
to be a divine
uh reestablishment, not a secular
movement. It has to be God who do do it
or the Messiah.
There there's still Jews who believe
this.
Yes. So there are still Jews who would
really have their belief that is close
to the Islamic belief. That's correct.
That's uh absolutely yes.
Okay.
And I tell you something um in
Murphersboro in Tennessee
Mhm.
when uh the war of Gaza happened uh last
uh December.
Mhm.
We asked to make a protest uh in the
square.
Yeah. And you will not believe that some
of the protesters were Jews with us
supporting the case of Gaza
Mhm.
against Israel. They consider Israel as
a sin to exist. It's a sinful thing to
exist.
Okay.
But um okay, looking at looking at it,
which opinion is more correct to the
setting up of Israel or their opinion
like the like the Jews that joined you
like that joined you guys? Um which is
the opinion if you really look into
their scriptures which opinion is more
correct?
The opinion of those who are against
Israel?
Mhm. And why is that?
Because this the scriptures is very
clear.
Uh for example, it talks about um why uh
or when uh they can reestablish Israel.
Okay.
For example, it says in Deuteronomy 30
Mhm. uh from verses 1 to 20. When when
you and your children return to the Lord
your God and obey him with all your
heart and with all your soul according
to everything I command you today, then
the Lord your God will restore your
fortune and have compassion on you and
gather you again from all the nations.
Okay.
Yes.
So there what is the condition? The
condition is that they have to obey him
with all their hearts and with all their
souls.
The problem here,
yes,
that the law that they have to rule the
country, they don't follow it. Israel is
a secular country,
not as people think it's a religious
country.
They don't follow the law of Moses to
run it.
Okay? So they break the condition to
establish uh Israel. This is number one.
Number two,
uh it says in in different um part
to them
and that king
uh he has to be a one king
which is the Messiah.
Yeah. For example, in Ezekiel 37, it
says, "There will be one king over all
of them, and they will never again be
two nations or be divided into two
kingdom."
Mhm.
My servant David will be king over them.
Mhm.
So they say, "Okay, my servant, my king
David, King David, King David died long
time ago."
And after this u you will see in the
same passage
that uh David it says David my servant
will be their prince forever
which that what does that mean? It means
that he's not really the king David uh
that he's talking about but there is
another king that who will come and and
uh will lead them.
So who who who would be this king?
He this is the problem. They were
waiting for the messiah and they thought
that the messiah will be a king.
Okay. So when they saw Jesus that he's a
poor man, a normal man. So they said
that's impossible to be the Messiah. We
are waiting for a king. A king that will
rule all of us.
Yeah.
But the Christians they say and we
believe that even the passages in the in
the Christians uh you will see for
example in Matthew uh 27:11.
Meanwhile, it says, "Mean meanwhile
Jesus stood before the governor and the
governor asked him, are you the king of
the Jews?" Jesus said, "Yes, I am."
Mhm.
So, yes, Jesus, he is the king of the
Jews. He came to rule them.
Mhm.
But they refused. Even in the book of
the Christians they said how how far
they went with him that they refused him
they rejected him and they deny that he
is the king of the Jews because they
belittling him.
Mhm.
So um when we talk about uh why then
some Christians uh follow and help them
Yes. Yes.
We will see that number one
there are uh some scriptures that they
follow and um they they uh follow it uh
regardless anything
and they cut it from the context.
Okay.
For example, they say
in the Genesis 12, I will bless those
who bless you.
Okay.
Okay. And whoever curses you, I will
curse and all peoples on earth will be
blessed through you. Here is the
problem. They say you is Israel. So
whoever bless Israel, God will bless
him. Whoever curse Israel, God will
curse them.
Okay?
But there is a problem.
Okay?
If you go wider,
a verse before and a verse after, you
will see it this way. I will make you
into a great nation and I will bless
you. I will make your name great and you
will be a blessing. I will bless those
who bless you and whoever curses you I
will curse and all peoples on earth will
be blessed through you. So Abraham left
as the Lord had told him.
Okay. How did Abraham reach there?
Exactly. So you here is not Israel. It's
Abraham.
Yeah. Of course. Of course.
Right.
Yeah.
So, you have a very strange way that
they uh uh approach the Christian.
Mhm.
They say to the Christians, we believe
that the Messiah will come and you
believe that the Messiah will return.
Mhm.
So, both have the same goal or waiting
for the same person. Okay.
Therefore, for him to return, we have to
reestablish the temple.
If we don't reestablish the temple, he
will not come for us and he will not
return for you.
And that's why some of the Christians
support them because they want the
Messiah to come. They want to uh make
things quicker. But let let us look from
the Islamic perspective. Now the return
of prophet Jesus, we do believe in this.
How does all of this come together? Are
the Messiah they're looking for is
different from the Messiah we're looking
for? No, we are looking for the same
messiah of the Christians and the same
messiah of the Jews.
But each one of them they look at him in
different way.
So what reestablishing the synagogue has
to do with this
this establishing because they believe
that the temple uh Jesus will not come
back or Messiah will not come back
unless the temple exists.
This is their belief.
But there is a problem here. Mhm.
I think that we have to talk to the Jews
and the Christians at the same time
about Islam, not about this problem.
Because if we talk to them about Islam
and we convince them about Islam and
they become Muslim, the whole thing will
be solved.
Yes. Because actually where where the
shortcoming from the from the Bible is
and a shortcoming from the is where
Islam filled up everything and completed
it perfectly.
Exactly. Exactly. Especially if you read
the Bible and you see that some Jews
went to John the Baptist
and they asked him, "Are you uh Elijah?
Are you the Messiah? Are you the
prophet?" And he said, "I am not Elijah
and I am not the Messiah and I am not
the prophet." So that means they are
waiting for Elijah and they are waiting
for the Messiah and there is another
prophet who will come after the Messiah.
they are waiting for.
Mhm.
Okay.
Prophet Jesus said that John the Baptist
is Elijah. Okay. And the Messiah is
Jesus.
So who is left?
Prophet Muhammad. If they believe in
him, the problem is solved.
Subhan Allah. Subhan Allah. So we need
first to talk to them to to convince
them about Islam and to talk to the
Christians as well and tell them um that
the establishment of of Israel is is a
sinful especially that there are 50% of
the Jewish population are against Israel
establishment and they call themselves
the ultraorththodox
Jews
and we just have two minutes before we
wrap up the program and if Israel didn't
And we see the e the evilness of of of
the establishment of the state
especially when so many lives are lost,
so many homes are taken away uh
forcefully in a tyrannic way. Um we see
so many destruction. Can this all as you
said be some of the evils because the
the very first condition was not met?
You know uh the best answer I heard from
this was from the Jew.
Mhm. the Jewish people, the real Jews,
um the ultraorththodox, they say they
were de debating with the the Zionists
and they said, "How come you are doing
this in Israel?" And they call this the
land of Lord, the land of God. It's
impossible.
And they told them their answer that the
Talmud says that we are allowed to take
the land with the permission of other
nations.
The real Jews responded, but you forgot
the permission of the most important
nation, the people who live in.
You didn't take their their permission
because they really the Talmud tell them
that they can take back their land in
peaceful in peaceful way if they take
the permission of all nations.
But they didn't take the permission of
the most important people, the people of
the land itself.
Subhan Allah. Brother Ahmed if what I
what I can the the the the summary that
I can put but what you've all you've
said there is the Muslims lacking two
things lacking to know their own
religion and lacking to know what's
around them in the world and if we can
get these two things together brother
Ahmed I think we can do a great deal in
telling the truth to every nation this
is true we have to teach all Muslims and
not all Muslim but the Muslims who wants
to do something and I believe that the
word is stronger than any rockets or any
bomb or anything. You can change uh
people votes in America if you teach
them. I saw many people change their
opinion totally about the case of in the
Middle East when you talk to them and
you show them evidence and you see them
in their opinion in the votes.
Subhan Allah.
And and their opinion the comments that
they make. Brother Ahmed, thank you very
much for being with us on the straight
path today and we hope to continue with
this topic and continue to talk about
how Islam has a solution for every gap
that other religion have inshallah.
Thank you very much.
Okay, that's it for today on the
straight path. If you have any questions
for brother Ahmed or any comments for
the show, you can write to us straight
path.tv.
Until next time.
