Did God promise Palestine (Jerusalem) to Jews in the Bible?
– In fact, Arabs are the true inheritors of Palestine according to the Bible. For Ishmael (peace be upon him) was the first SON and SEED of Abraham (peace be upon him) promised to be blessed:
1) Genesis 17:8 {Promise of God to grant Palestine}
“And I will give unto thee, and to thy SEED after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan,
for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
2) Genesis 17:20 {Ishmael and his progeny ARABS shall be blessed by God}
“And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have BLESSED him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.”
3) Genesis 17:23 {God refers to Ishmael as Abraham’s SON}
(Lord said) “And Abraham took Ishmael his SON.”
4) Genesis 21:13 {God calls Ishmael SEED OF Abraham}
“He (Ishmael) is thy seed.”
– Historically roughly for last 1400 years, Arabs/Muslims have ruled Palestine; so even if the biblical prophecy of Giving the land of Palestine to the Seed (Progeny) of Abraham is to be fulfilled, then its only fulfilled through Arabs (progeny of Ishmael – Son of Abraham) so far.
– Last time when they took Masjid al Aqsa from Muslims the mothers of this Universal Muslim nation= Ummah raised a man named Al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, better known simply as Salah ad-Din or Saladin, who retook Jerusalem, defeated Crusaders and the enemy fears his name till date.
They have taken Masjid Al Aqsa from us Muslims once again, but this time we pray that the mothers shall not only raise another Salahuddin but the likes of Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) who will not only retake Jerusalem but shall shake the very foundations of the enemies of Islam forever along with their entire faiths BiIznillah=with Almighty Allah permission
Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem shall be retaken Inshallah=Allah willing
– Allah’s Promise in the Quran
“It is He who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and Religion of Truth, to prevail it over all other religions.
even though the Pagans may dislike it (much).” {Al Qur’an 9:33}
