ISRAEL – TO WHOM DOES IT BELONG?

ISRAEL – TO WHOM DOES IT BELONG? TO THE YAHOOD OR TO THE MUSLIM PALESTINIANS?

The notion that Israel, viz. that portion of Palestine captured and conquered by the Yahood, belongs to the Muslims of Palestine is baseless. To understand this issue it is necessary to refer to the Qur’aan – to the Shariah. However, since most Muslims, including muftis, molvis and sheikhs, are ignorant of the Qur’aan they miserably fail to understand reality and the Law of Allah Azza Wa Jal.

The very first factor to understand is that Allah Azza Wa Jal is Rabbul Aalameen. He is the Rabb Who is the Sovereign/King of all universes as He declares in Surah Faatihah. Thus, the entire world belongs to only Allah Ta’ala.

The second important factor to understand is that only Allah Azza Wa Jal apportions His dominion to whomever He wills and in whatever measure He wills. The Qur’aan Majeed confirming this fact states:

“Say: ‘O Allah, Maalikal Mulk (King/Sovereign of all land/countries/power)! You bestow mulk (land/country) to whomever You desire, and You snatch away mulk from whomever You desire. You grant honour to whomever You will, and You disgrace whomever You will. In Your Hand (power/control) is all good. Verily, You are powerful over all things.” (Aal Imraan, Aayat 26)

When Bani Israaeel (the Yahood) complained to Musaa (Alayhis salaam) about the brutality and persecution of Fir’oun, he said to them:

“Seek aid from Allah and adopt Sabr (patience). Verily, the earth belongs to Allah. He grants it to whomever from His servants He desires, and the ultimate outcome (of victory) is for the Muttaqeen.” (Al-A’raaf, Aayat 128)

“Soon will your Rabb destroy your enemy and make you the rulers in the earth. Then He will watch how you acquit yourselves (with obedience or disobedience).” (Al-A’raaf, Aayat 129)

It is abundantly clear from the Qur’aan Majeed and the Ahaadith that it is only Allah Azza Wa Jal Who apportions sovereignty to his servants. In terms of the Qur’aan, in this context ‘servants’ refer to both Muslims and Kuffaar. In this regard, the Qur’aan states:

“We have decreed for Bani Israaeel in the Kitaab that verily, you will cause anarchy on earth twice and that you will spread great strife. Then when the first of the two decrees materialized, We sent such of Our servants who were powerful warmongers. They penetrated (your) homes. It was a promise fulfilled.” (Bani-Israaeel, Aayats 4 & 5)

“Our Servants” here refer to the kuffaar army under their king Bukht Nassar (Nebucanezzar).

A country is thus handed to a people by Allah Ta’ala. When Allah Ta’ala grants a nation sovereignty, that nation becomes the worldly owner of the land. It is only Allah Ta’ala Who installs regimes, both kuffaar and Muslim, to control countries.

The nation who conquers a land becomes the legitimate owner. When Allah Ta’ala decides to snatch away a country from its current rulers, He empowers another nation to conquer and take possession of it. In its history Musjidul Aqsa was handed to the kuffaar 7 times as a punishment for the treachery and villainy of Muslims.

Initially, Palestine was the country of the kuffaar long before the advent of Nabi Musaa (Alayhis salaam). Allah Ta’ala had snatched away Palestine from the Muslim Ummah of that era (Bani Israaeel), and handed it to the kuffaar. After prolonged suffering (Punishment from Allah) Ta’ala, Bani Israaeel was again granted the land.

Again due to their evil, Allah Ta’ala gave Palestine to the Christians. It then was their property. During the Khilaafat of Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu), Palestine was annexed to the Islamic Empire. The Christians lost the land to the Muslims. After some centuries, due to the evil of Muslims, Allah Ta’ala snatched Palestine from the grasp of Muslims and handed it again to the Christians.

Then Allah Ta’ala sent Sultan Salaahuddin Ayyubi (Rahmatullah alayh) to wage Jihad against the Christians. With the Nusrat of Allah Ta’ala, the Sultan conquered the land by Jihad. Thus Palestine came under Muslim domination since that time until 1948 when Allah Ta’ala snatched it away from the evil Muslims and handed it to the Yahood.

That region of Palestine today named Israel, legitimately belongs to the Yahood in terms of the Shariah. Muslims will become the owners of Israel only if they are able to conquer it by Jihad.

This is the Way of Allah Ta’ala. When He wills a people to become the rulers of a land, He empowers them. Then they conquer that country and they become the legitimate owners thereof. This rule applies not only to Palestine.

The Europeans had conquered America, hence the Red Indians are not the owners of that countries. The same applies to Australia. A vast part of the earth was under British domination. All those countries conquered by Britain legitimately became provinces of the British empire.

The same Divine Rule applies to Gaza. If Israel succeeds in conquering Gaza, it will have the legitimate right to annex it to Israel. It will be the decree of Allah Azza Wa Jal. The only way for Muslims is Jihad. But, the present absolutely rotten and evil moral and spiritual condition of Muslims is the reason for Muslim impotency. It is the decree of Allah Ta’ala for Palestine to be under Yahood domination and oppression. The oppression is a form of punishment from Allah Ta’ala for the treachery of Muslims.

Only if Muslims abandon their treachery, their villainy of fisq, fujoor and kufr will the Nusrat of Allah Ta’ala arrive to succour them. Minus the Help of Allah, this Ummah will remain grovelling and licking the boots of its enemies – the kuffaar.

“O People of Imaan! Repent (and turn unto) Allah all of you so that you are victorious.” (Qur’aan)

The Nusrat of Allah Ta’ala is reliant on Taqwa. Minus Taqwa, there will be only defeat and humiliation. The events in Gaza, Kashmir, Syria, India, etc. all testify for this Qur’aanic Truth, namely, Allah’s Help is only for the Muttaqeen:
