Israel: The new Super Power.

Qur'an, al-Fussilaat, 41:53-4

The basic claim to legitimacy of the Jewish State of Israel is the claim that Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) gave the holy land of Canaan (modern-day Palestine and adjoining areas) to the Israelite people as an ever-lasting possession. The Jews believe that the Holy Land belongs to them even now, in this modem age! They are also its exclusive owners. The Holy Land belongs to them, and only them! And so, throughout its history the State of Israel has consistently maintained that the Muslim Arabs, who descended from Abraham's first-born son, Ishmael (Alai' his salaam) and who established and sustained a control over, and residence in the holy land for almost fourteen hundred years prior to the creation of the Jewish State, possessed no title to the land, - not even to share any part of the land with the Jews on the basis of sovereign equality.

The Holy Qur’aan however says that the Jewish right to the Holy Land was conditional on faith and righteous conduct. Faith here means faithful observance of the religion of Abraham (Alaihis salaam).

Sura al- Anbiya>h 21: Verse 105

History bears testimony that the Jews were expelled time and again, by divine decree, from Jerusalem and the Holy Land. This took place whenever they violated the condition of faith and righteous conduct. Many Israelite Jews accept that they have brought upon themselves repeated divine expulsions from the Holy Land, because of their sinful ways.

The Qur’aan says in Sura al-Anbiya>h 21: Verse 95

The essentially godless secular European Zionists refuse to accept this. It is these European Jews who convinced the Israelite Jews to return after they had lived scattered for 2000 years. The godless secular European Zionists never belonged here. Six hundred years after the last expulsion of the Jews from the Holy Land Allah caused the Muslims to inherit the Holy Land when Caliph Umar (radiallahu anhu) conquered it. The Qur’aanic prophecy was fulfilled since Allah said in Sura al- Ana>m 6: Verse 165

The Muslims ruled over the Holy Land for over 1200 yrs (apart for a brief period). The Arabs had allowed the Jews to live among them for more than 2000 yrs. Under the Arabs they were guaranteed security of life and property. The Arabs showed their hospitality at a time when the world had closed their doors to Jews.

However in 1919 an essentially godless (secular) Europe took control of the Holy Land after a sustained Euro-Christian effort, which had started a 1000 years earlier with the Crusades. The British General Allenby took the Holy Land from Turkish Muslim rule. This paved the way for the restoration of the State of Israel by Euro-Jews, after Allah destroyed it 2000 years ago. The act of 'recognition' of the Jewish State of Israel implies, ipso facto, acceptance of Israel's legitimacy. A Muslim cannot 'recognize' a State that Allah has outlawed and yet maintain that it is illegitimate!! Thus, from an entirely religious perspective, recognition of the Jewish State of Israel would involve, for Muslims, disobedience of Allah.  The world of Islam represented by the Muslim masses does not recognize Israel as a legitimate State. To 'recognize' the Jewish State of Israel, or not to 'recognize', - that is the dilemma which confronts so many governments in to- day's world of Islam. It is a dilemma for them because there is only one force in the world today which stands in the way of Jewish Israel achieving universal acceptance and recognition from the gentile international community, and the security and guarantee of survival which, it assumes, is assured by that recognition, - and that is Islam, the religion, and the true followers of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The impoverished Muslim masses resolutely oppose the 'recognition' of the State of Israel, and are a force to be reckoned with since Islam is rapidly re-emerging as a most significant actor in international affairs. The predatory elite in the Muslim world, on the other hand, are shifting their position and moving in the direction of an accommodation with Israel, which would protect their vested interests. This is described as the 'peace process'. The predatory Muslim elite, accustomed to power and privilege, is terrified at the prospect of resurgent revolutionary Islam winning power in Egypt, Pakistan etc., and then dealing with them in the manner in which revolutionary Islamic Iran dealt with them. And so the pressure to recognize Israel comes from a terrified Muslim elite living in mortal fear of the impoverished Muslim masses and of Islam's stern and uncompromising justice. The writing is on the wall for nearly all the governments in the one billion strong world community of Muslims; governments which are constituted by the elite and which protect and preserve the interests of that elite. The direct pressure from that elite to recognize' Israel keeps on constantly growing.

But the pressure to recognize Israel also comes from USA and its allies and clients, and from the international organizations created by the West to serve western interests, - the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund etc. Growing Jewish influence over (Middle East) foreign policy in these governments, and over decision-making in these international organizations, and the perception of a long-term Islamic threat to Israel, to western capitalism and democracy and to the secular model of society, which was designed to sustain them, lie at the very heart of that pressure which Muslim governments now face. The capacity of Muslim governments to resist such pressures becomes weaker and weaker as political and strategic vulnerability and the economic stranglehold of riba (usury) increase. Indeed the supreme game in the games of dominance, which constitute the New World Order, is political and strategic blackmail and economic and financial imperialism. No where is this supreme game played more resolutely than in the effort to preserve and promote the security of the Jewish State of Israel. Since the media in the western world studiously avoids exposing this fact, most Christians and Jews in USA are unaware of it. The governments of Turkey, Egypt and Jordan, and the Palestine Liberation Organization, have extended recognition to Israel. Saudi Arabia, however, must be Israel's supreme target because it is located in the heartland of Islam, - the land of the haramain (i.e., sacred territory in Makkah and Madinah), the Hajj (pilgrimage to the sacred temple built by Abraham in Makkah), and the tomb of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Unless Saudi Arabia recognizes Jewish Israel the Jewish State's struggle for acceptance and security would not really have been won. Yet, it is only when Saudi Arabia recognizes Jewish Israel that the world can witness the unleashing of forces that pose the gravest of all threats to the very survival of Jewish Israel and of Judaism itself. Jerusalem, a city sacred to Muslims, Christians and Jews, is destined to play the most significant of all roles in the End of History. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all agreed on this. There are an abundance of signs, plainly visible to those blessed with spiritual insight (i.e., who see with two eyes, the external and the internal) that we now live in that Last Age, the age that will witness the end of history. How long would this last age last? When will the end come? No one knows but Allah Most High. In the process of the restoration of greater ancient Jewish State of Israel (created by King David), the Temple of Solomon will be restored which will require the destruction of Masjid al-Aqsa. The destruction of the Masjid is likely to pose so grave a security problem for the Saudi regime. They will become the target of the Muslim masses and will then move to suspend the hajj. That, in turn, would constitute the fulfilment of the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) who declared, in the context of the release Yajooj (Gog) and majooj (Magog), that the hajj will one day end:

Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are all client states of a godless U.S.A. They are all dependent on the United States for the survival of their false governments and monarchies. This strategy has not succeeded in the Holy Land of Quds nor in Syria and Yemen. The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) had prayed for Syria and Yemen and had predicted the Saudi/ Wahhabi menace to come from Najd.

The Jewish State has survived for 50 years due to the active support of a powerful, godless West headed by U.S.A.  The USA is actually controlled by powerful Jews who hold the financial strings. They hold mankind in their grip due to their dominance in every field especially technology and economics. Their greatest weapon is interest.

 The Qur’aan has stated in Sura al-Anbiya>h 21: Verse 96

From their height of power they have spread their influence in all directions controlling sea, land and air. Israel is slowly replacing the USA as the ruling state in the world. The Divine intervention of Imam Mahdi and Isa (Jesus) (Alaihis salaam) seems to be our only hope. The Hadith in Sahih Muslim speaks of the drying up of the Sea of Galilee or Lake Tiberius or Lake Kinneret as the time of the return of the Messiah. The Palestinians, Jordanians and Israelites are dependant on the Sea of Galilee for their water. The Israelites will resort to desalinated sea water. What will happen to our brothers? They will become further dependant on Israel. Muslims must act now to prepare for the mighty struggle.
