In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate

" May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"

Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with
Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah
guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can
guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that
Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Why The Jews Were Cursed

Muhammad ash-Shareef

Rasul Allahs wife, Umm Al-Mumineen Safiyyah bint Huyayy - radi'Allahu anha -
was the daughter of one of the Jewish leaders of Madinah. After she accepted
Islam, she informed the Prophet - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - when she had first
felt the rays of Islam enter her blessed heart.

It was the day that Anas - radi Allahu anhu - describes as the most radiant day to
every come upon al-Madinah - the day Rasul Allah - salAllahu alayhi wa sallam -
entered it. All the Ansar men, women and children gathered to greet him, cheers
of praise to Allah filled the air.

Amongst the gathering were 2 men; as much as the Ansar and Muhaajireen
revered the Prophet, they despised him. It was the father of Safiyyah - radi Allahu
anha - and her uncle.

She was only a youngster as she looked into the darkness and gloom that had
enveloped their faces when they returned home that day.
Her Jewish uncle asked, "Is it him? Is it the Prophet that our scriptures speak of?"
Huyayy lowered his head and said, "Yes. It is him." "Then what shall we do?"
Safiyyah's uncle continued. Huyayy looked into his eyes, "Till the final day we
shall be his bitterest enemies!"

From the very first rakaah of Taraweeh we read the verse in the opening Surah:
[Guide us to the straight path - The path of those upon whom You have bestowed
favor, not of those who have evoked (Your) anger!..]

Adiyy ibn Hatim asked Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - who it was that
evoked Allah's anger? He said, "It was the Jews" - Tafseer Ibn Katheer

In the opening verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, Allah invites the Children of Israeel to
come back - to remember the favor and blessing He bestowed upon them - and to
fulfill the promise that they would follow the Prophet when he was sent to them.

[O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I bestowed upon you and fulfill My
covenant upon you that I will fulfill your convenant (from Me) and fear only Me.] -
Surah al-Baqarah 2/40

Allah saved them of their slavery to Firown (pharaoh), he saved them from sea and
drowned Firown and his army. Allah selected them to receive food from the sky.
Allah sent them Prophet after Prophet from amongst themselves, and sent the
Holy scriptures - the Towrah and the Injeel. Allah preferred them over all others at
their time.

[ ...And that I preferred you over the worlds (i.e. people).] - Surah al-Baqarah 2/47

How did they reply these Blessings of Allah?

(i) They Followed Only What They Wanted to

When a Prophet came to them, if what he taught did not appeal to them they
either rejected that truth or slit the throat of the Prophet and followed what was to
them appealing.

[We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them
messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did
not desire, a groups (of the Messengers) they denied and another party they
killed.] - al Maaidah 5/70

And we must remember here that this is not the commentary of some human
journalist who claims to be neutral. This is the Lord of the Universe telling us - in
verses to be read till the final day - the deepest secrets that lie in the pits of
Judaism. [And who is more truthful than Allah in statement!] - al Nisaa 4/87

(ii) They Changed the Words of Allah

There was groups of Jews that would change the words of Allah - adding
something here, deleting there - to pound the truth and keep the flock in servitude
to what they desired.

[And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their
tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture.
And they say, "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. And they speak
untruth about Allah while they know.] Ali-Imran 3/78
(iii) Their claim that they are the beloved children of God

Ibn Abbas narrates: Numaan ibn Aasaa, Bahr ibn Amr and Shaas ibn Adee (3
Jews) came to Allahs Messenger - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He sat with them
and invited them to Allah and warned them of Allahs anger. They replied, "Why
are you trying to scare us O Muhammad? By God, we are the children of God and
His beloved ones!" At that the verse was revealed:

[And the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the Children of Allah and His
beloved." Say: "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are
humans from among (all the others) that He created.] Al-Maaidah 5/18 - Ibn
Katheer 2/36

(iv) Their Blasphemous Statements

There came upon the Jews a time of poverty, so they went to Shaas ibn Qays and
questioned him. He said, "Your Lord is stingy, he never provides."

Allah revealed in the Quran:

[And the Jews say, "The hand of Allah is chained." Chained are their hands and
cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He
spends however He wills.] Al-Maaidah 5/64

(v) Their Murdering of the Prophets

One of the most horrific sins that they performed was the slaughtering of their
Prophets. This was one of the major reasons they were struck with humiliation.

[And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger
from Allah (upon them). That was because they (repeatedly) disbelieved in the
signs of Allah and killed the Prophets without right. That was because they
disobeyed and were (habitually) transgressing.] - Baqarah 2/61

Not only did they try to kill their Prophets, but they attempted to assassinate
Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - himself. RasulAllah went with some
companions to meet with the Jews of Banu Nadheer. While he waited for them at
the side of a building, they climed the roof with a boulder to crush down upon the
head of Rasul Allah. Jibreel warned Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - of
their plan. He stood up without saying anything, left for Madinah, and came back
with an army. This was the cause of Banu Nadheer's expulsion from Madinah -
Mukhtasar Seerat Ibn Hisham 159

And the list goes on - They did not command the good or forbid the evil, they did
not accept the ruling of what Allah revealed upon them, they disbelieved their
book, they received food from the heavens but rejected it, they challenged their
Prophet to show them Allah in this life, they took Angel Jibreel as their sworn
enemy, they took the graves of their Prophets as symbols of worship ... and the list
goes on and on in the Quraan and Sunnah.
Part II

There are some verses in the Quraan that spoke about those that do not judge by
what Allah has decreed is a transgressor.

Some students of Ibn Abbas - radi Allahu anhu - asked him, "Were these not
revealed for the Jews and Christians?"
He said, "Subhan Allah! Are all the glad tidings in the Quran for us and all the
admonitions for them? If our we do what they did, our end will be their end."
Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - said, "You will follow the wrong ways,
of your predecessors so completely and literally that if they should go into the hole
of a lizard, you too will go there."
We said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?"
He replied, "Whom else?" - Bukhari

The Quran tells us of snakes in the grass that bit the Jews. Allah tells us this so
that we may take warning of what led them to evoke Allahs anger and not be
bitten by the same snake.

Let us take an example from the following verse:

[And there followed them successors who inherited the scripture (while) taking the
stock of this lower life (i.e. Haram gains and whims), saying (regardless), "We will
be forgiven."] - Araaf 7/169

So many Muslims take this Quran as something inherited, the real power of
Allahs words has not penetrated the hearts. How many of our young Muslim
youth understand the language of Cobolt and A++, spending years to understand,
but do not comprehend a single sentence in the Quran?

Firstly: We should not take them as our close allies.

Allah commands us in the Quran: [O you who have belieded, do not take the Jews
and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally
to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed Allah does not guide
the wrongdoing people.] - Maaidah 5/51

Secondly: We should not Imitate them

The forbidden of imitating the Jews and the Christians applies to those things
that have become icons of their customs and falsehood. So for example, if
someone wore a white collar on his neck, everyone would assume he was
Christian. This is because the white collar has become a symbol of theirs.

The ruling is more general than just clothes. Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa
sallam - said: [Act differently then the Jews.] - Saheeh Abu Dawood

Thirdly: A Muslimah may never marry a Jewish or Christian man that remains on
his beliefs.

Allah declares in the Quran: [They are not (i.e. the Muslim women) lawful wives
for them, nor are they lawful (husbands) for them.] - Mumtahinah 60/10

Is all this a death sentence on the Jews?

Nay, Allahs infinite Mercy has left the gate open for ANYONE who wishes to come
back to him.

[And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allah, We would
have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to joyful Gardens] -
Maaidah 5/65

O Allah guide us to the straight path - the path of those who You have bestowed
favor, not of those who have evoked (Your) anger, nor of those that went astray.
Ameen.

Question:

What can we do about the slaughter of Muslims in Palestine and around the world? What is
our stance concerning the slaughter of Muslims in Palestine and other parts of the world
that is happening right now, where houses are being destroyed, farms are being wrecked,
children are being killed, the wounded are being detained in the streets, houses are being
bombarded and people are being prevented by the Jews and others, from buying the food
and drink that they need? What can I, as a Muslim, do?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

1- You have to make duaa, and recite dua al-qunoot in your salaah (prayer).

2- Collect charity and send it through trustworthy channels.

3- Support the weak and oppressed in all ways, including the media and the internet.

4- Get scholars, daaiyahs, khateebs and writers to explain the oppression that is happening
and the negligence on the part of the ummah, and to mobilize the ummah to defend the
holy places.

5- Check on one’s own intentions with regard to fighting for the sake of Allaah, and see
whether he is applying the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): “Whoever dies without having fought for the sake of Allaah or having had the intention
of doing so, has died following one of the branches of hypocrisy.” (Saheeh Muslim, no.
3533)

6- Pursuing all the means of building up material and moral strength, in preparation for
meeting the enemy (in battle).

7- Reminding oneself and others of the virtues of martyrdom for the sake of Allaah and
studying the rulings on jihad, and not having an attachment to this world.

8- Doing as much damage as possible to the enemies who are in a state of war with us, by
boycotting their products *, attacking them verbally and in writing to humiliate and annoy
them, and to point out their kufr and shirk, and their insults to Allaah, His Messenger and
the believers, publishing as much as possible in the audio-visual and print media about this
serious topic whilst also connecting that to Islamic belief and the words of Allaah and His
Messenger,

FATWAS – Islamic Rulings

http://www.fatwa- online.com/ news/0020221. htm

Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh:

"Indeed waging war against the weak Muslims in Palestine is (Israeli) terrorism and
oppression.
...today the Muslim Ummah was passing through a severe phase which requires it to take a
close look (at itself) so that it can become a single Ummah defending and protecting it's
'aqeedah".
http://www.fatwa- online.com/ news/0020414. htm

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan:

"It is obligatory upon the Muslims to make supplication for their Muslim brothers and to
assist them with wealth. To assist them with wealth and supplication, this is what is obligatory,
and this is what will benefit them.”
http://www.fatwa- online.com/ fataawa/worship/ jihaad/jih003/ 0020406_1. htm

Shaykh Ibn Baaz:

"It has been confirmed to us by trustworthy and reliable witnesses that the Palestinian
intifaadhah (uprising) and those who have stood forth in this are from the most dedicated
Muslims there, and that their jihaad is (an) Islaamic (one). This is because they are oppressed
by the Jews, and that which is obligatory upon them is to protect their religion and themselves
and their families and children and to drive out their enemy from their land with all they are
able to of strength."
http://www.fatwa- online.com/ fataawa/worship/ jihaad/jih003/ 0020404_1. htm

Shaykh Ibn Baaz:

"Certainly, the Muslim(s) feel much pain and great sadness at the deteriorating situation in
Palestine, with matters going from bad to worse, escalating in complexity as the days pass,
such that it has reached where it has (today).
...and that which is worth mentioning here, is that the Palestinian issue is an Islaamic issue
from the beginning (right through) to the end."

PLEASE NOTE: Terrorism is prohibited in Islaam, and these fataawa do not in any way or form
imply it's permissibility or acceptance. Rather, they provide qualified Islaamic legal rulings from the
recognised Senior Scholars of Islaam to oppose those who have caused oppression by occupying
Palestinian land.

Can the Muslims live in peace in Palestine?

Although the Muslims nowadays are in a position of weakness and humiliation – because
they have turned away from their religion – and are unable to fight the Jews, take back their
stolen lands and impose the rule of Islamic shareeah in Palestine, this does not mean that
this will always be the case until the end of the world.

Things have to change, and one of the indications of this is the hadeeth of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who informed us of some things that are to
happen in the future. He was supported by Revelation from his Lord; he did not speak of
his own whims and desires, but of that which was revealed to him. He said:

“You will fight the Jews and will prevail over them, so that a rock will say, ‘O Muslim! There
is Jew behind me, kill him!’” (Reported by Muslim, 2921; al-Bukhaari, 2926).
According to a report narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour [the Day of Judgement] will not begin until
the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. A Jew will hide behind a rock or a tree, and the
rock or tree will say, ‘O Muslim, O slave of Allaah! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill
him!’ – except for the gharqad (box thorn), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (Reported
by Muslim, 2922).

http://islamqa.com/en/ref/1098/palestine

The situation of the Muslims in Palestine

Undoubtedly what is happening to the Muslims in the Holy Land of hardship, torture, expulsion,
killing and harm is a matter which causes sorrow to every Muslim, and indeed to every non-Muslim
who is reasonable, fair-minded and compassionate, when they see the blatant persecution inflicted
upon innocent people, with the intention of driving them out of their homes so that the enemy can
take their place, which is an enemy that possesses the most advanced weapons, with which they
attack unarmed people who are deprived of the means of defending themselves.

This Muslim people has endured for more than fifty years, facing unending Zionist arrogance and
aggression, which pays no heed to human dignity or any covenant or treaty, or any law, except that
to which their own whims and desires make them inclined and in which their evil rabbis and
warlords encourage them.

The outcome of that is well known to Muslims as well as Jews, which is that the consequences will
be in favour of the pious and the party of God will be the victors. The wrongdoer will never enjoy
security, stability and prosperity, rather he will be faced with fear, anxiety, grief and shame, until the
day comes when the Muslims come back to their religion and are governed by the sharee’ah of their
Lord, then they will meet the Jews in battle, where the two sides will face one another, and victory
will go to the people of faith.

Muslims demonstrating in support of their Palestinian brothers

We advise all to fear Allaah and to cooperate in doing good and in righteous deeds, for Allaah will
support those who support His cause.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allaah, He will help you, and make your foothold
firm”

[Muhammad 47:7]

And Allaah says elsewhere in His Holy Book:

“Allaah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will
certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before
them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion which He has chosen for
them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely, give them in exchange a safe security after their fear
(provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me”
[al-Noor 24:55]

I advise all of our brothers to cooperate with them and I advise the rich and those in positions of
authority to extend the hand of aid to their brothers in Palestine who are striving to regain their land
and achieve victory over the enemy, in sha Allaah. May Allaah support them with the truth and
reward them with all good on behalf of the Muslims. All they have to do is to persevere in patience
and constancy, and vie in such perseverance, for the promise of Allaah is true and Allaah will help
those who help His cause. May Allaah help them and grant them victory over their enemies, and
may He enable the Muslims to help them and stand firm with them until Allaah grants them victory
over their enemy, for He is the best of supporters.
