ENMITY BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND JEWS

THE REALITY OF ENMITY BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND JEWS

All perfect praise be to Allah; and may Allah send blessing and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and Companions. To go further:

In those days, the Muslim ummah is under difficult conditions and painful events, the greatest of which is the Jews’ domination over the Muslims in the Palestinian territories, killing their men, horrifying their women and children, burning their mosques, ruining their houses, and putting them under besiegement and starvation.

A Muslim’s vision and judgment on those events should spring from the Book and the Sunnah. So, let us reflect those events from the following perspectives, therewith to remind ourselves, catch sight on our way, and get ready against our enemy.


Why do we dislike the Jews?

We indeed dislike the Jews for the Sake of our Lord. We hate them in (the religion of) Allah because they abused Allah, killed and insulted his Prophets.

It is those about whom Allah told us in His statement (what means): “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 Ma 5: 64]

{وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُ اللَّهِ مَغْلُولَةٌ غُلَّتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُوا بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ يُنْفِقُ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ..} [سورة المائدة: 64]

Transliteration: Waqalati alyahoodu yadu Allahi maghloolatun ghullat aydeehim waluAAinoo bima qaloo bal yadahu mabsootatani yunfiqu kayfa yashao


They are the same who said (as told by Allah what means): “"Indeed, Allah is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.” [Al Imran 3: 181]

إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيَاءُ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَالُوا وَقَتْلَهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُوا عَذَابَ الْحَرِيقِ} [سورة آل عمران: 181].

Transliteration: inna Allaha faqeerun wanahnu aghniyaon sanaktubu ma qaloo waqatlahumu alanbiyaa bighayri haqqin wanaqoolu thooqoo AAathaba alhareeqi

They are those who also claimed that Allah has a son (as stated in His saying what means): “The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "” [Al Tawba 9 :30]

{وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ} [سورة التوبة: 30]

Transliteration: Waqalati alyahoodu AAuzayrun ibnu Allahi

Exalted be Allah The Almighty from what they say: “He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.” [Al-Furqaan 25:2]

{الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُ تَقْدِيرًا} [سورة الفرقان: 2].

Transliteration: Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shayin faqaddarahu taqdeeran

It is those who claim in their alleged Talmud that Allah [we pray for His Almighty’s forgiveness] is not infallible from recklessness, anger and falsehood.

According to such Talmud too, the rabbis have sovereignty over Allah, and He has but to carry out their desires.

They (falsely) allege that Allah spends three hours daily playing with the angel of fish, Exalted be Allah The Almighty from what they say: “And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play. Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so. Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.} [Al-Anbiyaa 21: 16-18]

{وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ﴿١٦﴾ لَوْ أَرَدْنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّاتَّخَذْنَاهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا إِن كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ﴿١٧﴾ بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ} [سورة الأنبياء: 16-18].

Transliteration: Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena (16) Law aradna an nattakhitha lahwan laittakhathnahu min ladunna in kunna faAAileena (17) Bal naqthifu bialhaqqi AAala albatili fayadmaghuhu faitha huwa zahiqun walakumu alwaylu mimma tasifoona (18)

According to their Talmud, the Jew is dearer to Allah than the angels, and whoever slaps a Jew seems as if he slaps the Divine Honor.

But Allah gave the lie to them when He said (what means): “But 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 human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.”[Al Maeeda 5: 18]

{وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوبِكُمْ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ} [سورة المائدة: 18].

Transliteration: Waqalati alyahoodu waalnnasara nahnu abnao Allahi waahibbaohu qul falima yuAAaththibukum bithunoobikum bal antum basharun mimman khalaqa yaghfiru liman yashao wayuAAaththibu man yashao walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma wailayhi almaseeru (18)

They also say in their Talmud that Allah consults the rabbis on earth in case there is any unsolvable dilemma in the heaven, Exalted be Allah Almighty from what they say.

Is there anything over which the Lord Almighty has no power? Nay! Exalted and Hallowed be He! He is, over all things, Omnipotent: {His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.} [Yassien 36: 82]

{إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ} [سورة يس: 82].

Transliteration: Innama amruhu itha arada shayan an yaqoola lahu kun fayakoonu

They also say in their Talmud with unashamed boldness that the teachings of the rabbis are irrefutable and unchangeable even by the command of Allah, Exalted be Allah Who says about the Jews (what means): “They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah.” [Al Tawba 9:31]

{اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ} [سورة التوبة: 31]

Transliteration: Ittakhathoo ahbarahum waruhbanahum arbaban min dooni Allahi

It is those about whom Allah Almighty says (what means): “O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert [them] from the way of Allah.” [Al Tawba 9: 34]

{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْأَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [سورة التوبة: 34]

Transliteration: Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo inna katheeran mina alahbari waalrruhbani layakuloona amwala alnnasi bialbatili wayasuddoona AAan sabeeli Allahi

Those are the Jews who see themselves all things in the world, and anyone else is but nothing. Below is a set of their sayings about the non-Jews:

The sperm-drop of a non-Jew is like the sperm-drop of the other animals.

It is due on every Jew to strive his utmost to prevent the other nations from getting sovereignty on earth, in order that the authority should remain only for Jews.

Had Allah not created the Jews, there would have been no blessing on earth.

The non-adherents to Judaism are but filthy pigs.

The spirits of the Jews are dear to Allah, whereas the spirits of non-Jews are devilish, like the spirits of animals.

A Jew is not in the wrong if he violates the honor of (or rapes) a non-Jewess, for every wedding contract among the non-Jews is invalid (in the sight of the Jews); and the non-Jewess is but a female animal, and no contract could be held valid between animals.

A Jew has the right to rape any of the non-Jewish women.

Adultery with non-Jews, be they males or females, brings about no punishment, for they (the non-Jews) belong to animals.

A Jewess has no right to make a complaint if her husband commits adultery with a non-Jewess in the marital house.

It is not unlikely that they may say so, given that it is those about whom Allah says (what means): {they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned." And they speak untruth about Allah while they know [it].} [Al Imran 3: 75]

{ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الأُمِّيِّينَ سَبِيلٌ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ} [سورة آل عمران: 75]

Transliteration: thalika biannahum qaloo laysa AAalayna fee alommiyyeena sabeelun wayaqooloona AAala Allahi alkathiba wahum yaAAlamoona

As far as the destination of the non-Jews in the hereafter is concerned, they believe, according to their Talmud, that the bliss is the abode of the spirits of the Jews, and none but Jews shall enter Paradise.

That is similar to the statement of Allah about them (what means): “And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."” [Al Baqara 2: 111]

{وَقَالُوا لَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلا مَنْ كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ} [سورة البقرة: 111]

Transliteration: Waqaloo lan yadkhula aljannata illa man kana hoodan aw nasara tilka amaniyyuhum qul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeena


Those Jews are the same who killed, abused and insulted the Prophets of Allah. They said about Jesus, peace be upon him, in their Talmud that he was an illegal child; that his mother conceived of him during her menses; that he was the misguiding foolish trickster and cheater of the children of Israel; and that he was crucified and died and was buried in Hell, in which he is punished in a stove of boiling rotten water.

In connection with their slander about the Messiah, peace be upon him, and his mother, Allah Almighty said (what means): {And [We cursed them] for their breaking of the covenant and their disbelief in the signs of Allah and their killing of the prophets without right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped". Rather, Allah has sealed them because of their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few. And [We cursed them] for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander, And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.} [Qur’an 4:155-157]

{فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَاقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِم بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ الْأَنبِيَاءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌ ۚ بَلْ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ﴿١٥٥﴾ وَبِكُفْرِهِمْ وَقَوْلِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَرْيَمَ بُهْتَانًا عَظِيمًا ﴿١٥٦﴾ وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا} [سورة النساء: 155-157].

Transliteration: Fabima naqdihim meethaqahum wakufrihim biayati Allahi waqatlihimu alanbiyaa bighayri haqqin waqawlihim quloobuna ghulfun bal tabaAAa Allahu AAalayha bikufrihim fala yuminoona illa qaleelan (155) Wabikufrihim waqawlihim AAala maryama buhtanan AAatheeman (156) Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha AAeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wainna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min AAilmin illa ittibaAAa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan (157)

It is those who said in their Talmud, concerning their enmity to our Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: Where as Jesus was a liar, and whereas Muhammad recognized him, and such as recognizes a liar should, consequently, be a liar like him (the first liar), then, we should fight the second liar as we fought the first liar.

For the remainder of their statements in Talmud, see "The Talmudic Scandals", Pranatis p57[MMSharif1] ; "Dafa'in An-Nafs Al-Yahudiyyah", Muhammad Az-Zu‘bi.

Today, they say that Allah has regretted for creating the Palestinians. They further wrapped a pig's head in some papers from the Mus-haf, getting "Muhammad" written on it in order to throw it in Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, to enrage Muslims. They drew the picture of a pig on a wall on which they wrote the name of our Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, with the Star of David signature underneath it.

Our enmity to them is then creedal rather than political. We hate them not only because they occupy (the Arab territories), but because of something more serious and more significant as has previously been shown. We also dislike them because of their crimes against Al-Masjid Al Aqsa, the House of Allah, burning it, attempts to ruin it, digging a lot of tunnels underneath it; killing our brothers, using destructive weapons whose bullets break in the heads of Muslims and then blast inside them: tens of shrapnel's were found in the brain of a Muslim person; shooting bullets from silencers, in order not to alert the Muslims that one of their brothers has fallen wounded, lest they would hasten to relieve him; detonating Rockets in the bodies of the disarmed Muslims (which distort them so much) that the family of anyone of them would not be able to distinguish his/her features, or recognize his/her identity; launching Toxic gases, allegedly to disperse demonstrations, although they cause fatal asphyxia; shooting bullets on ambulances, which killed many and wounded others among the medical crews: in this context, they prevented an ambulance carrying a Muslim pregnant to give birth from reaching the hospital until she gave birth to her child in the ambulance; shooting 500,800 dumdum bullets therewith exploding the heads of Muslim victims, leaving 160 killed, 5,000 wounded and hundreds of handicapped and disabled who became incapable of maintaining their families; contaminating the drinking water reservoirs in Palestine with chemical substances to make childless the Muslim women; and changing the curriculum in Palestine, by omission and addition, in order to fit with their inclinations.

We believe that there is no sheer evil in the acts of Allah Almighty: any act, whatsoever, should inevitably imply good in some point. That is indeed the belief of Ahlus-sunnah wal-Jama‘ah. In the bloody incidents on the territories of Palestine, we have seen positive aspects from the Muslims that give the glad tidings of a bright future and a coming victory, by permission of Allah, including:

A great certitude has been developed among the majority of Muslims that the only way to defeat the Jews is Jihad in the Cause of Allah. This intensified the demand to establish this obligatory duty, which is the summit of Islam.

The national, revolutionary and even democratic flags, and all Jahiliyyah-based ways fell down, whereas the flags of 'There is none worthy of worship but Allah' rose in the hands of Muslims.

Wonderful boldness and great bravery were shown by the big multitudes of Muslims in Palestine to confront the Jews with their tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, war equipment and armaments.

The 'one body principle' returned once again to the majority of this ummah, which gave rise to the commencements of the practical application of the image drawn by the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in his statement: «The example of the faithful believers in their mutual affection, mercy and fellow-feeling is like a body, when any part of which aches, the whole body subsequently aches because of insomnia and fever.» [Reported by: Muslim]

«مثل المؤمنين في توادهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم، مثل الجسد، إذا اشتكى منه عضو، تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى» [رواه مسلم].


Some injured persons were taken to many countries for medical treatment, with Muslims visiting them to inquire about their health. Supplications in prayer were raised over all the Islamic countries (to support them). Furthermore, Big multitudes of Muslims, at all levels, expressed their standing beside their brothers. Many Muslim children tried to go to the Palestinian territories to throw Jews with stones.

The Islamic perspective about the case has become clearer to lots of Muslims, which seems evident in their mottos that indicate to the Islamic nature of the case, and the high position of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in the sight of Muslims. The Jews were harmed most, according to one of their theoreticians, by the motto: "(Remember) Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews: the army of Muhammad will return." One of the Jews said in this connection: "We have to be well-aware of our difficult condition. Those do not intend that the army of Muhammad will come only from the cities of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. They rather intend that this army will come from everyplace whose inhabitants respect Muhammad and believe that he is a Prophet. So, do not talk about peace after that."

The normalization with the Jews stopped, or at least slowed down, given that normalization is the most dangerous on the ummah. However, the voices of advocates of peace with Jews have faded away, while seeing them revoking their treaties, agreements and covenants one after the other, in confirmation of the statement of Allah Almighty about them (what means): “Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.” [Al Baqara2: 100]

{أَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا نَّبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ} [سورة البقرة: 100].

Transliteration: Awakullama AAahadoo AAahdan nabathahu fareequn minhum bal aktharuhum la yuminoona

As optimistic as those great aspects we have seen might be, we should not forget the following:
It is we who are responsible for the humiliation and ignominy we are living in now and whatever evil strikes us is from ourselves. If we like that Allah should remove humiliation from us, we should return to Him Almighty: “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” [Ar-Ra'd 13: 11]

{إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ} [سورة الرعد: 11]

Transliteration: inna Allaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hatta yughayyiroo ma bianfusihim




furthermore, the ummah should repent from polytheism, religious innovations, misdeeds and destructive sins in which it has fallen.

The way is still dusky for some who continue to ask for support from polytheists and depend on disbelievers, and fail to distinguish the flags of Islam from the flags of polytheism, given that among the prerequisites for victory is to eliminate that confusion “ that those who perished [through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith] would live upon evidence.” [Al-Anfaal 8:42]

{لِيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَا مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ} [سورة الأنفال: 42]

Transliteration: liyahlika man halaka AAan bayyinatin wayahya man hayya AAan bayyinatin

our way starts with the word of monotheism (to affirm the Oneness of Allah), and goes on until it comes to the unanimity of word according to the method of the Messengers, peace be upon them.

We are still far from the stage of getting ready (against our enemies) as commanded by Allah Almighty. Why do we not act upon His saying (what means): “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.” [Al-Anfal 8: 60]

{وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لا تُظْلَمُونَ} [سورة الأنفال: 60].

Transliteration: WaaAAiddoo lahum ma istataAAtum min quwwatin wamin ribati alkhayli turhiboona bihi AAaduwwa Allahi waAAaduwwakum waakhareena min doonihim la taAAlamoonahumu Allahu yaAAlamuhum wama tunfiqoo min shayin fee sabeeli Allahi yuwaffa ilaykum waantum la tuthlamoona


Finally, we ask Allah Almighty to save the oppressed among the believers, to disgrace the Jews and polytheists, to support the monotheists and drive the Jews out of Bayt Al-Maqdis in humiliation, while being debased.

May Allah send blessing and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his family and Companions.
