Land Of Israel Belongs To The Jews Admitted So In Al-Quran
Land Of Israel
There is not one verse in the Quran (Israel is mentioed 43 times in Al-Quran; which is evidence that Israel is not a recent nation) mentioned that states that the land of Israel belongs to anyone else but to the Jews. Israel is the land of the Jews, given to them by YAHWEH. Muslims have nil quranic authority to argue otherwise. This subject-matter is just about the only thing that Muhammad got right.
Surah 5
20 And when Moses said to his "people: O my people ! remember the favour of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any other among the nations.
Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali
There is no anachronism here. The Israelites are here told that two favours had been bestowed upon them: (1) prophets were raised among them; (2) they were made kings. The reference need not be to the earlier history of the Israelites, but to their history as dating from the time of Moses, for the advent of Moses had brought about an entire change both in their spiritual arid political status. Not only had two prophets, Moses and Aaron, already appeared among them, but with the Mosaic law was laid down the basis of a dispensation which gave them promise of numerous prophets appearing among them. And politically they had no doubt already emerged as an independent nation, being masters of themselves and no more slaves of their Egyptian masters. They had acquired kingship, and so the words no doubt contained a clear prophetic reference to their future career as a ruling nation. Spiritual dominance combined with political supremacy was manifestly a favour which was not bestowed upon any of the other contemporary nations.
21 O my people ! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs, for then you will turn back losers.
22 They said: O Moses! surely there is a strong race in it, and we will on no account enter it until they go out from it, so if they go out from it, then surely we will enter.
23 Two men of those who feared, upon both of whom Allah had bestowed a favour, said; Enter upon them by the gate, for when you have entered it you shall surely be victorious, and on Allah should you rely if you are believers.
24 They said: 0 Moses! We shall never enter it so long as they are in it; go therefore you and your Lord, then fight you both, surely we will here sit down. 25 He said: My Lord ! Surely I have no control (upon any) but my own self and my brother; therefore make a separation between us and the nation of transgressors. 26 He said : So it shall surely be forbidden to them for forty years, they shall wander about in the land, therefore do not grieve for the nation of transgressors.
Numbers 13
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Observation
Who lived in the land of Canaan (not the land of Palestines)? Num.13:V29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
Surah 10
93 And certainly We lodged the children of Israel in a goodly abode and We provided them with good things; but they did not disagree until the knowledge had come to them; surely your Lord will judge between them on the resurrection day concerning that in which they disagreed. 94 But if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to you, ask those who read the Book before you; certainly the truth has come to you from your Lord, therefore you should not be of the disputers.
Surah 17
2 And We gave Moses the Book and made it a guidance to the children of Israel, saying:Do not take a protector besides Me; 3 The offspring of those whom We bore with Noah; surely he was a grateful servant. 4 And We had decreed against the children of Israel in the Divine ordinance: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence. 5 So when the promise for the first of the two came, We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be accomplished. 6 Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, and aided you with wealth and children and made you a numerous band.
Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali
Verse 5 relates the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem and the murder, imprisonment, and banishment of the Jews by the Babylonians in the year 588 b.c., while v 6 relates to the return of the Jews and rebuilding of the temple under Zerabbabel, and to their subsequent prosperity. This is the turn of fortune spoken of here.
7 If you do good, you will do good for your own souls, and if you do evil, it shall be for them. So when the second promise came (We raised another people) that they may bring you to grief and that they may enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and that they might destroy whatever they gained ascendaney over with utter destruction.
Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali
This verse describes the destruction of the temple a second time, which was accomplished by the Homans under Titus. The personal pronouns refer in all cases to the enemy, whoever he might be, and by no means indicate that the same enemy who first destroyed the temple would do so on the second occasion.
101 And certainly We gave Moses nine clear signs; so ask the children of Israel when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him: Most surely I deem you O Moses, to be a man deprived of reason. 102 He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proofs, and most surely I believe you, 0 Pharaoh, to be given over to perdition. 103 So he desired to destroy them out of the earth, but We drowned him and those with him all together; 104 And We said to the Israelites after him: Abide in the land, but when the latter promise came We brought you all rolled up.
The Holy Quran, translated by Maulvi Muhammad Ali
104 And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass We shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.

Surah 17
So Pharaoh sought to drive them out of the land; but we drowned him and all his followers. And after his death, we said to the children of Israel, "Dwell ye in the land:" and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both up together to judgment. In truth have we sent down the Koran, and in truth hath it descended, and we have only sent thee to announce and to warn.
