The Hidden Truth of Islam: The Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people

A few months ago, a senior orientalist, Prof. Nissim Dana, threw a theological bomb into the heart of Islam, mainly fanatical Islam. While today's Islamic clerics are engaged in incitement against the Jewish people in mosques and at mass demonstrations and talk about the “sacred duty to liberate Palestine from the Zionists,” Prof. Dana, thoroughly familiar with the Koran and Islamic commentaries, argues that both the Koran and other Islamic sources see Eretz Israel as the land of the Jewish people - and only them.

The results of his research prof. Dana presented in his latest book "Who Owns This Country?" (Ariel University Press) - a book that, even before its publication, caused a lot of religious and political waves.

Nissim Dana made his first steps in this study when he was a public servant responsible for various communities and religious groups.

“Over time, I noticed that there is a big difference between what is written in the Koran and other ancient Muslim manuscripts and what is preached in mosques. This interested me and prompted me to thoroughly research the period of the birth of Islam, the Koran, the first commentators, Hadith, their oral traditions, and so on, in order to find the answer.

The more I progressed in my research, the more differences I found—much more than I initially thought. For example, it turned out that Jerusalem, which is the center of the dispute between Israel and the Islamic world, is never mentioned in the Koran. There is only one distant hint - and only through denial. Apparently, for a certain time, Jerusalem served as the direction of Muslim prayers and in chapter 2, verse 142 of the Koran there is a hint of this, but negative: “Do not turn your faces (during prayer) to the place to which you turned before, but turn to Mecca.” Continuing in their oral tradition and historical literature, there is evidence of how the second caliph, who ruled 6 years after the death of Mohammed, condemns the Muslim who gave holiness to the Temple Mount - he condemns it because he believes that this is a holy place for Jews, and not for Muslims "

— Why did Muslims turn to Jerusalem at first?

- In their tradition and literature there are many hints that turning to Jerusalem during prayer was a kind of step towards the Jews, intended to show the Jews that the new religion - Islam - was adopting a number of their symbols, all this with the aim of attracting Jews to Islam; but the Jews did not respond to this call from Mohammed and therefore he had no further reason to try to bring them closer. Therefore, in the Qur'an the direction of prayer is set to Mecca.

 

Over the years, Nissim Dan has accumulated ample information about the hidden truth of Islam's relationship to the Land of Israel, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Over time, this formed into a book presenting the truth to the whole world. But even before, he had to enter into disputes with high-ranking Islamic figures - in these disputes he spoke about the basic principles of their religion (Prof. Nissim Dana knows Arabic perfectly). He tells:

“In 2002 I retired from government service and began a university career that continues to this day. After a series of studies, I published an article, after which I gave an interview and presented data that was easily proven based on Muslim sources. According to the statement now accepted in the Islamic world, Mohammed ascended to heaven through the Temple Mount. Muslims believe this, even though it does not appear in the Qur'an at all, and later classical Islamic commentaries do not take the idea seriously. For example, when Mohammed's wife was asked about this idea (ascent to heaven through the Temple Mount), she replied that it was a dream and not a real event. One of the leading Islamic theologians, speaking about this and about the statement that there are signs of that ascension to heaven on the Temple Mount, said that this is all a lie. The second caliph, who was the right hand of Mohammed, condemned the Muslim who treated the Temple Mount with holy reverence, and told him that the Temple Mount was holy only for the Jews. I published an article about this and received responses from Egypt, Jordan, the PA and other places - for 6 months there was a small storm surrounding my statement.

After 6 months, during which about 20 articles arguing with me were published, an article appeared in the Egyptian newspaper “al Cairo” analyzing the facts I presented, at the end of the article it summarized that that night ascent to heaven did not come from Mecca through the Temple Mount , and from Mecca through Medina. This is a very significant detail for Islam.”

Religious leaders have never read the text of the original sources

How did it happen that such clear facts were “turned upside down” and “the sanctity of Jerusalem for Islam” became the focus of incitement against the Jewish people? Who hid the truth and why?

- There is a very strange thing. I will tell you a story from which you can understand the answer to this and other questions arising from the study: In the past, I used the services of a Muslim religious leader for my work. He became interested in my work. I told him that I teach Arabic at the university, he was surprised. I told him that I also teach the Koran - this amazed him even more. And when I said that I have Muslim students, his surprise knew no bounds. It was incomprehensible to him. We agreed to meet to exchange views on the dilemma surrounding Eretz Israel, which they now call Palestine. During the meeting, I gave him several quotes from the Koran in which Allah clearly states that He is giving the Land of Israel to the Jews. I showed him 7-8 such quotes. Hearing this, he asked me to show him the Koran, in which I find such texts. I brought him the Koran, he began to leaf through the book. When I asked what he was looking for, he replied that he wanted to know where this Koran was printed. I pointed out to him the last page, which indicated that the book was printed in Mecca in Saudi Arabia. After this, he told me a striking phrase, especially considering that we are talking about a religious figure: “This is the first time I am reading these verses of the Koran.” This is the answer to your question. I don't know why this is so, but it is a fact that Muslims do not delve into their basic principles or make an effort to understand them, but rely on later "religious journalism".

Borders of the Promised Land for Jews - Quran version

An additional interesting detail discovered by Prof. Nissim Dana, a detail that he himself defines as “one of the most fascinating things I have encountered,” is the border of Eretz Israel intended for the Jewish people, the border according to the Koran. “One of the verses (chapter 7 verse 137) of the Koran says that Allah bequeaths Eretz Israel to the Jewish people, its eastern and western parts; and in this way he fulfills his promise to the Jews. Muslim commentators tried to explain what the east and west of the Country are. It was clear to them that we were talking about a huge territory, but they wanted to understand exactly what territory we were talking about. One of the major Islamic commentators, Chabari, gives several answers on behalf of others, and then summarizes in his answer, which has been accepted by most Islamic theologians:

The land that Allah gives to the Jews extends from the Euphrates to the eastern bank of the Nile!”

As said, the book by prof. Nishima Dana attracted great attention of Oriental scientists. Dana is convinced that the book will have consequences in the international political arena, if only those at the helm can take advantage of it. He says that the book has already been received by several ministers. Some of them have already sent their responses. It remains only to find out how they will be able to send the facts in the right direction.
