Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To Jerusalem Through the Lands of Islam: Among Jews, Christians, and Moslems This book is the expression of truth which has been felt and lived. It bears witness to the spirit of the early days of Christianity: - it is a revelation of the mysterious link which unites us with the conquered race of Islam. The author is a woman of another continent than that of which she writes, or in which she writes. She has been for a tour through Algeria, a tour which was neither scientific, nor historical, nor geographical, but something better and more original than all these: a tour of Christian Exploration. The result she has attained is as striking as it was unexpected. That result does not consist in the indication of new riches to be exploited in a conquered country, in a colony which is but an extension of France, nor in any of those advantages which are the ordinary objects and achievements of our humanitarian explorations. On the contrary, our author discovers that the Arab, though despoiled by our conquest, has preserved riches of which we cannot deprive him, and advantages which suffice for his happiness during his earthly life. For what is to us merely optional, or unnecessary, is to the Arab indispensable. These treasures are the brotherhood of souls in the faith in God; - the principles of conduct which result from it, and the admirable instinct which enables him to distinguish, even before a word has been spoken, between true affinity and hypocritical sympathy. These are the treasures which "neither moth nor rust doth corrupt." The vanquished finds therein a source of joy of which none can deprive him: for he has laid up his treasure in his heart. Such are the author's discoveries. Her book is fiat lux of our Algeria. We must read it - or rather we must travel with her, - for truth guides her pen, as charity has guided her steps.

Download or read book Islam Jews and the Temple Mount written by Yitzhak Reiter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the first comprehensive survey of the abundant early Islamic sources that recognize the historical Jewish bond to the Temple Mount (Masjid al-Aqsa) and Jerusalem. Analyzing these sources in light of the views of contemporary Muslim religious scholars, thinkers and writers, who – in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict – deny any Jewish ties to the Temple Mount and promote the argument that no Jewish Temple ever stood on the Temple Mount. The book describes how this process of denying Jewish ties to the site has become the cultural rationale for UNESCO decisions in recent years regarding holy sites in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron, which use Muslim Arabic terminology and overlook the Jewish (and Christian) history and sanctification of these sites. Denying the Jewish ties to the Temple Mount for political purposes inadvertently undermines the legitimacy of Islam’s sanctification of Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock as well as the credibility of the most important sources in Arabic, which constitute the classics of Islam and provide the foundation for its culture and identity. Identifying and presenting the Jewish sources in the Bible, Babylonian Talmud and exegesis on which these Islamic traditions are based, this volume is a key resource for readers interested in Islam, Judaism, religion and political science and history in the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jerusalem: A Religious History" is one of the first books that goes back in history and delves into the religious underpinnings of the Abrahamic religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) for their fervent support of Jerusalem and adjoining territories referred to as the Holy Lands by many. Quoting the religious texts of Jews (Torah, Tanakh, Talmud), Christians (Bible), and Muslims (Quran and Hadith), this book provides a clear picture of why the Muslims, Jews, and Christians hold Jerusalem so close to their hearts. The quoted verses of the religious texts in Quran, Bible, and Torah will make you appreciate the religious significance of Jerusalem for the various faiths and the conflicts that has plagued that region for centuries. The following are some of the topics covered in this book: => Verses about Jerusalem in Torah / Jewish scriptures and Quran => Jewish beliefs about Aaron building the calf in Jerusalem at Temple Mount => Quran and Torah's different accounts of the story of the calf built in Jerusalem for worship by Children of Israel => Select Talmud references to Jerusalem => Select Quranic references to Jerusalem => Quranic verses about Children of Israel in Jerusalem => How the World Zionist Organization pushed the cause from the "Holy Land" to the formation of Israel => How the World Zionist Organization managed to declare independence of Israel => The "Aliyah" (Jewish immigration to Israel and Jerusalem) => Summary of the wars in Israel => Religious Reasons for Evangelical Christians' Support for Israel => Birth of Jesus - Bible and Quran's accounts => Jerusalem at the Time of Jesus => Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir's account of Jesus's birth according to Islamic beliefs => The two versions of the day of Jesus's supposed crucifixion in Jerusalem (Islamic vs Christian versions) => The Crusaders nine major attacks over Jerusalem and the wars with Jews and Muslims => The biblical concept of "Greater Israel" as mentioned in Jewish holy books (modern State of Jordan, some parts of Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) => Status of current movements supporting Greater Israel => The concept of Rebuilding of the temple => Jewish beliefs about reconstruction of the temple => Role of "New Jerusalem" in Christianity End of Times (Christian Eschatology) => Per Islamic beliefs, killing of Dajjal (Anti-Christ) by Jesus in Israel (location of Ludd) toward end of times => Judaism's Holy Sites in Jerusalem => Islam's Holy Sites in Jerusalem => The ascension to the skies by Prophet Muhammad from Jerusalem with Angel Gabriel where he met Adam, Jesus.

Download or read book Struggle for Jerusalem and the Holy Land The A New Inquiry Into the Qur an and Classic Islamic Sources on the People of Israel Their Torah and Their Links to the Holy Land written by Nissim Dana and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent generations, the Muslim and Arab world has been suffused with publications on the subject of the People of Israel, its Torah, and this people s affinity to the Land of Israel. Most of these publications are tendentious, written with a hostile attitude toward Jews and Judaism; indeed, some of them are tainted with antisemitism. The Qur an, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims, also deals with the question of the status of Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel. Many of its exegetes, following in the tracks of Islam s holy book, have done so as well. Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps, these Islamic sources express an approach asserting that this land is promised exclusively to the People of Israel. This book explores these sources and discusses them in light of the recent developments."
Download or read book Jerusalem in the Qur an written by Imran N. Hosein and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2016-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerusalem in the Qur'an is a great book that thrilled and delighted me in a number of ways. I am surprised that such a meticulously documented book had to wait for such a long time before seeing the light. It is now more than half a century since the Zionists began their appalling oppression and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people whose only offense is that they happened to live in a country considered by the Jews to be their promised Holy Land.The Zionists have continuously referred to distorted scriptures from the Torah and other Biblical material to justify their atrocious behavior and to motivate the Jews to establish a State of Israel that extends from the Nile to the Euphrates with Jerusalem as its capital.For example, David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, is quoted to have said, The Bible is our deed to the land of Israel. Muslim scholars, on the other hand, have largely failed in refuting Zionist claims from authenticated historical and religious sources and have also failed to accomplish their religious responsibility in clearly documenting this question from the Holy Qur'an and the Blessed Ahadith of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As far as I know, whatever is written on this subject is rather superficial and emotionally tainted or simply stating facts in a cool manner. May Allah Ta'ala reward Brother Imran Hosein for writing this scholarly document, which will indeed fill up this intellectual and religious gap and serve as an academic reference to Muslims in all parts of the world. As I write this introduction, this book that was published only this year is already being translated to Arabic and Bosnian. In a short time it will be rendered into other European languages and to all the other tongues of the Islamic world.It must be reported however that the importance of writing a book about the Holy Land in the Qur'an have not escaped the vision of far-sighted and creative Muslim thinkers such as Dr. Kalim Siddiqui, Founder-President of the Muslim Institute for Research and Planning, and Professor (Shaheed) Ismail Al-Farouqi. I am surprised at the vision of the former scholar who asked Imran Hosein to write this book as early as 1974. He urged him saying that Jerusalem is the key to understanding the historical process of the Middle East and the world at large. Shaikh Imran successfully accomplished this task after 27years. Though seemingly late, but it has come at the right time in which the whole world is being shocked by Jenin and what happened in Sabra and Shatila.I am amazed by Imran's style of writing. Though Jerusalem in the Qur'an, is a meticulously written thesis combining religious and historical documents with recent political events and penetrating interpretations from the Qur'an and Hadith, it runs like a story. Once you begin reading it, it is hard to stop. This is the general quality of a novel. The person would read it once and throw the book away - but not that of a serious thought-provoking dissertation like the book that Brother Shaikh Imran published. It is a reference that one needs to keep and reread whenever the subject is to be researched. I believe that this eloquence of the Shaikh must be the result of a natural gift that has interacted with his indefatigable work as a preacher and da'iyah and the Divine Blessings for his sincerity.Finally, in spite of the seemingly depressing situation of the Muslims in general and the Palestinians in particular, reading the book would certainly give one a warm surge of optimism about our future; a bright light that shines at the end of our long dark tunnel of history. We are living at the end of time. This is the age in which the prophesies of the Holy Qur'an and the Blessed Hadith are unfolding right before our very eyes to prove to humanity the truthfulness of our faith.
Download or read book Jerusalem in Muhammad s Strategy written by Abdallah Ma’rouf Omar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to study the detailed political relationship between the Prophet Muhammad and Jerusalem in a number of Muslim sources. Usually, the study of this relationship in Muslim sources has always been limited to the oral traditions of the Prophet Muhammad on the virtues of Jerusalem, the Holy Land and al-Aqsa Mosque, in addition to Muhammad’s famous Night Journey. This book takes this issue in a new direction, revealing that the Prophet Muhammad was, in fact, the true planner of the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem that took place five years after his death. This conquest marked a major shift in the history of the Holy Land and changed the face of that region. This book opens the gate for understanding the way in which the Prophet Muhammad shaped the image of Jerusalem and built its status in the Muslim mind.
Download or read book Jerusalem in the Qur an written by Imran Hosein and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerusalem in the Qur'an made its debut at a crucial time when the morale of the Muslims was not only at its lowest... but is continually sinking... The blatant incessant Israeli incursions in the Holy Land go unabated, and Muslims are echoing the very words that their fellow brethren called out unto their Lord when they were being persecuted at the hands of the kuffar of Makkah: "When will the help of Allah come?''Shaikh Imran's insight into the events that are unfolding in the world today is a source of inspiration for Muslims for he convincingly argues from his scholarly interpretations of the Divine Writ (i.e., the Holy Qur'an) and the Ahadith of the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu 'alaihi wa sallam) that the help of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'alah) is at hand, that the Holy Land will be liberated, and that Islam will re-emerge as the 'Ruling State' in the world. The reader will be enthralled by the author's grasp on world politics. Jerusalem in the Qur'an comes as a ray of sunshine for Muslims and is an eye-opener for the so-called 'People of the Book'. Though Jerusalem in the Qur'an is a meticulously written thesis combining religious and historical documents with recent political events and penetrating interpretations from the Qur'an and Hadith, it runs like a story. Once you begin reading it, it is hard to stop ... It is a reference that one needs to keep and re-read whenever the subject is to be researched. The book gives a detailed beautifully written exposition of these episodes with brilliant interpretations from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah. No one would fail to appreciate his penetrative thought and his spiritual depth.
Download or read book Jerusalem Caliphate and the Third Jihad written by John C. Witcombe and published by Prophecy Waymarks Publications. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient Bible prophecy reveals the agenda oft today’s determined Islam. Islam—the world’s second-largest religion—has big plans. Its goal? Nothing less than to bring the nations of this world under the influence of Islam and the rule of its sharia law. Beginning in A.D. 632, the entire Muslim world was ruled by a single leader called a caliph. But on March 3, 1924, after 1,292 years, the caliphate was abolished. Today, though, many Muslims envision a coming worldwide Islamic Super-state—and they are determined to reestablish the caliphate and vow that it will be planted in Jerusalem. Twice in its long history, Islam has dramatically expanded its reach in the world through aggressive Jihads—bringing huge areas of earth’s territory under Islamic control using all means necessary, including military conquest. Evidence is increasing that Islam is poised to launch a third Jihad to once again expand its dominion. A Jerusalem caliphate? A third Jihad? According to an ancient Bible prophecy, the answer to both questions is Yes. A reasonable and commonsense interpretation of that prophecy makes clear that Islam will indeed achieve its Jerusalem caliphate and set in motion its third Jihad: “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain. . .” Daniel 11:45. What does this prophecy mean? And what will happen when the Muslim world—now 1.6 billion strong—unites under a restored caliphate in Jerusalem? The answers are set forth in the pages of this compelling book.
Download or read book Jerusalem and Islam written by Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes quotes from the Koran and Hadith *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "The most holy spot [al-quds] on earth is Syria; the most holy spot in Syria is Palestine; the most holy spot in Palestine is Jerusalem [Bayt al-maqdis]; the most holy spot in Jerusalem is the Mountain; the most holy spot in Jerusalem is the place of worship [al-masjid], and the most holy spot in the place of worship is the Dome" - Thawr ibn Yazid, circa 770 In the campaign leading up to the election of Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate frequently discussed the importance of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. For many conservative Christian Americans and Israelis, this was tantamount to the United States agreeing to Jewish control over Jerusalem. As it stands now, the U.S. has a consulate in Jerusalem, yet no country houses their embassy in Jerusalem due to the conflicting claims of the Israelis and Palestinians. The political issue is just one more reminder of how important Jerusalem is as both a secular and religious flashpoint. One of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem is a holy and special city to the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Throughout its more than 6,000 year history, Jerusalem has been a center of contention, from conflicting clans to warring states. In addition to its religious significance, Jerusalem's strategic location has also made the city desirable throughout history. While people in the West are more familiar with Jerusalem's importance to Jews and Christians, Jerusalem's particular importance to the religion of Islam is without question one of the major sticking points in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prior to Israeli control, Jerusalem had been predominantly controlled by Muslim rulers since the 7th century and had been used as a type of political currency, legitimizing the ruling dynasty's claim over the city. This right of control by Muslims was viewed no more differently than control over Mecca and Medina in the Arabian Peninsula. For the world's Muslim population, Jerusalem is a holy site because Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad visited Jerusalem where he ascended to heaven during the famous "Night Journey." There was also a period of time during the Prophet's life when Muslims prayed in the direction of Jerusalem, as opposed to Mecca. Just as in Judaism and Christianity, Jerusalem plays a central role in End of Days prophecies in Islamic theology. As a result, Jerusalem has been an important symbol for Muslims for nearly 1,300 years, and it has played a crucial political role throughout the history of Islamic civilization as this important city has passed from ruler to ruler and dynasty to dynasty. Now that the city is again controlled by a Jewish state, Jerusalem has even further implications for various religious groups, and it will certainly affect the conflict-wrought region. Jerusalem and Islam: The History and Legacy of the Holy City's Importance to Muslims examines the tumultuous history of Jerusalem and its relationship to the Islamic world. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Jerusalem and Islam like never before.
Download or read book The Oxford Illustrated History of the Holy Land written by Robert G. Hoyland and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Illustrated History of the Holy Land covers the 3,000 years which saw the rise of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and relates the familiar stories of the sacred texts with the fruits of modern scholarship. Beginning with the origins of the people who became the Israel of the Bible, it follows the course of the ensuing millennia down to the time when the Ottoman Empire succumbed to British and French rule at the end of the First World War. Parts of the story, especially as known from the Bible, will be widely familiar. Less familiar are the ways in which modern research, both from archaeology and from other ancient sources, sometimes modify this story historically. Better understanding, however, enables us to appreciate crucial chapters in the story of the Holy Land, such as how and why Judaism developed in the way that it did from the earlier sovereign states of Israel and Judah and the historical circumstances in which Christianity emerged from its Jewish cradle. Later parts of the story are vital not only for the history of Islam and its relationships with the two older religions, but also for the development of pilgrimage and religious tourism, as well as the notions of sacred space and of holy books with which we are still familiar today. From the time of Napoleon on, European powers came increasingly to develop both cultural and political interest in the region, culminating in the British and French conquests which carved out the modern states of the Middle East. Sensitive to the concerns of those for whom the sacred books of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are of paramount religious authority, the authors all try sympathetically to show how historical information from other sources, as well as scholarly study of the texts themselves, enriches our understanding of the history of the region and its prominent position in the world's cultural and intellectual history.
