Jews, Israelites, the People of the Book, and Christians have been mentioned intensively and centrally in the Qur’ān, and by extension, the state of Israel falls within the same theme, while at the same time we firmly believe that one of the most important names of Allah, also mentioned frequently in the Qur’ān, is al-Hakīm, which means, the absolute and infinite wise.
Therefore, the story of Jews, their historic behavior, the way they deal with people, their weakness, the calamities that have befallen them in the past, and all the mischievousness they’ve caused to the world have not been depicted by the Qur’ān for no reason. On the contrary, there is much wisdom in it.
By the same token, we believe that the state of Israel has not been allowed by the Creator to exist unless there is wisdom in it, and that’s what has made me think deeply these days about all what is taking place in Palestine – the barbaric genocide caused by the Government of Israel in close cooperation with the US Government, the UK Government, and the Canadian Government.
We know that Allah does not love the disbelievers as He says in the Qur’ān, “Indeed, Allah does not love the disbelievers.” [Surah Āli Imrān]
So, what is the wisdom behind the genocide in Gaza or the over all brutality that has been taking place in Palestine over the last seven decades?
The truth of the matter is that Israel reminds us – Muslims – of many things. That political entity serves as a mirror for us and for our wretchedness.
What is Israel?
It is a group of people – Jews, non Jews, Israelites, converted Jews, political, ideological and military mercenaries, western agents and spies. The Israeli citizens are a group of people who fight for money, who seek help from the western pagans, who have cooperated with the USA and the British Empire for a small benefit in exchange of fighting for them. This is Israel – the symbol of corruption, fighting for others, cooperation even with the devil in order to survive.
What about Muslims in this time and age?
Likewise, many Muslims share similarities with the citizens of Israel – its Jews and mercenaries.
Like Jews who killed their prophets, Muslim governments arrest scholars, imprison them, and support the most corrupt people among themselves.
Like Jews who cooperate with the US Government and the UK Government in order to kill Muslims, the same Muslim governments have done and continue to do. Didn’t Saudi Arabia seek help from the US Government against Iraq? Aren’t Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, and other Muslim countries cooperating with the USA? With the UK? With all those who support crimes and genocides?
Yes, Muslims are no different than Jews in this regard. When Jews cooperate with America in order to kill Muslims, we are surprised, but when our governments sign deals with Pentagon, we find a thousand excuses.
Allah is hakīm.
