Jews having an independent state
Question
From my understanding the Quraan Sharif states that the Jews will never have their own state, so will it mean that people who want a 2 state solution or those who say Israel is a state be going against the Quraan?
Answer
The Quraan Sharif states,
Disgrace has been struck on them wherever they may be found except by a rope from Allah and a rope from people. They return with the wrath of Allah and homelessness has been struck upon them. This is because they used to reject the Aayaat of Allah and wrongfully murder the Ambiya. This is because they were disobedient (to Allah) and used to overstep the limits. [Surah Aale-Imraan, Verse 112]
‘Rope from Allah’ could refer to them bringing Imaan. If they bring Imaan then they will be protected from disgrace, poverty, etc. and ‘Rope from people’ refers to taking strength and power from the strength (superpowers) of the world. [Re:- Mawaa’iz-e- Dard-e-Muhabbat Pg.26 Vol.16]
Currently Israel is totally dependent on the USA for military equipment and dependent on India for their army. These are cowards that cannot fight their own battles. The land of Israel was unjustly usurped and given to them by Britian. Had it not been for these allies of theirs they would have been defeated and destroyed long ago and the illegitimate state of Israel would have never existed. In conclusion, the illegitimate state of Israel exists because of the external support they receive from their allies. This is conformity with the Quraan Sharif as explained above.
