The Status of Jews in the Holy Quran (4)

4. Distortion, hypocrisy, mixing of truth with falsehood and denial of the prophet hood of Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM)

Verse 146 of surah the Cow:

The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.

Verse 78 of the Family of ‘Imran:

There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, "That is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!

Verse 42 of surah the Cow:

And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is).
Using the example of recognizing Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny resembled to the identification of one’s children shows the depth of Jewish knowledge to the Prophet and his descendants. In another verse Allah says to the leaders of these people that they conceal the facts at a low cost. The meaning of “low cost”, is the material facilities no matter how much it may be, because in comparison with the Hereafter and the infinite blessings of heaven, every worldly good at any level is few.
While worldly interests and gifts and offerings due to popular opposition period scribes Prophet and his descendants, but their claim was a claim ever made racist and that the Prophet PEACE BE UPON HIM and prophet of the generation is not Israel. Surah the Family of ‘Imran verse 78 refers to a specific point is that Jewish scholars about what they wanted to add to the Torah, and then with a certain hypocrisy, tone and expression and wrapped it with the tone and expressive language that Torah was read.
This is the trend that had always been continuing throughout the history till the present time and now Zionism with its domination over mass media has covered its intentions in an enamel of truth and expresses it with a kind of language that makes it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood for the simple-minded people. Mixing of truth with falsehood is something that Jews had been prevented from doing it in verse 42 of surah the Cow. Sometimes due to ignorance, somebody may mix these two or he may conceal a fact unintentionally. The point to be noticed is that the address “ye know” indicates that concealment of facts and mixing of truth with falsehood had been intentional on the part of Jews.
5. Refraining from forbidding people to stop doing vices and befriending with the enemies of God

Verses 79 and 80 of surah the Table Spread:

Nor did they (usually) forbid one another the iniquities which they committed: evil indeed were the deeds which they did. Thou sees many of them turning in friendship to the Unbelievers. Evil indeed are (the works) which their souls have sent forward before them (with the result), that Allah’s wrath is on them, and in torment will they abide.
In the verse before this one, i.e. verse 78 of the Table Spread, there is a mention of cursing the infidels of Israel, by the Prophet David (PEACE BE UPON HIM) and Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon him, because of rebellion and aggression; this is in addition to the verses in the same Surah, verses 136 and 64 that these people are cursed by God.
In the above verses, two other reasons are mentioned that has resulted to sure; one of them is refraining from forbidding the vicious acts and the other is befriending enemies of God. When rebellion, aggression, forbidding the vicious acts and befriending pagans appear, the outcome will be the curse of God and deprivation from His mercifulness. This simple equation is a tradition of Allah that is not limited to Jews but will be applied to any society which has four characteristics mentioned above. Today, the government of the United States with rebellion and aggression and leave forbidding evil and friendship with Zionism, has features that will only curse and away from the divine mercy will be its outcome.
6. Eating forbidden things, usury and bribery

Verse 62 of surah the Table Spread:

Many of them dost thou see, racing each other in sin and rancor, and their eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are the things that they do.
In addition to the above verse Allah, in other passages usury and bribery are also Jewish. Some scribes such as bribery in connection with adultery two people that their peers in the next 41 verses surah the Table Spread and other verses in which statements such as (don’t sell my verses at a low cost) in verse 41of the Cow from the Quran refers to world and sell their extreme tendency to lose its heavenly blessings or verses like surah Women verse 161 which explicitly speaks of usury some of them:
That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.
Expressing of such verses in the Holy Quran make man come to this conclusion that economic activities of the Children of Israel are not only confirmed by God, but also deserves punishment and rebuke. Aside from the lack of health economic behavior, also in conjunction with other behaviors verses in the Holy Quran that mention Israel, all of them are outside the scope of this article.
Mentioning a part of these verses in the above was meant to provide a better understanding of behaviors of Children of Israel and not all of them; this is also due to the relationship with perfidy and superiority which are the origins of all misbehaviors, as stated in verse 13 of surah the Table Spread. What made Satan with all his prayers to a Satan we now know was his false feeling of superiority.
Now, we turn to find the answers to the question we posed at the beginning of this paper and that is whether Jewish racist ideas and their self-conceitedness comes from their belief or is an essential and characteristic one. The intensity of this self-conceitedness is to the extent that Judaism is not willing to develop his own religion because they believe that other people do not deserve to be in a same rank with Jews.
In verses revealing about the beliefs of the Children of Israel, we saw that God first delineated the false beliefs of this tribe such as “we are sons and friends of God” or “we will not remain in fire but for a few days”, then rejects all of them with rational reasoning. When they consider themselves to be sons and friends of God and believe that their father (i.e. God) will not punish them but for a few days, God first expresses their belief and then says: if it is so, why does Allah punish you for your sins?
If someone has conjunction with the Divine Being does not sin and does not need to be punished. Or as to the claim that they will not suffer more than a few days, God says: Do you have any promise from God that if it is true there’s no violation in God's promise to you; it means that you have no guarantee on this claim, and it's what you've made of yourself. From the claims of Jewish people and God’s answer to these verses, the first result to take is that such views are more claims rather than beliefs and we cannot put them in parallel with intellectual and correct beliefs if we were to call them belief, and not superstitions.
Because belief should have heartfelt depth and should not be limited to spoken level and God with His own words proves that such views are noting but futile claims and in other verses apart from refuting them, proves their falsity even among the Jews themselves and says that if these are not your claims, then they are your beliefs and you actually consider yourselves sons and friends of God and specify the Hereafter for yourselves, why don’t you hasten to the blessings of another world? Why don’t you wish to die so that you can find a comfort from the miseries of life and reach to the blessings of another world sooner? You not only fear from the chastisement of the other world and don’t wish for death, but also every one of you likes to live a thousand years; this is practical refutation of their claims.
So Jewish knows very well that all this talk is a vicious and absurd claim and a claim that they cannot recognize the futility of origin and motivation for other things to be right. In other words you cannot say that the claims of friendship with God and no torment in the hereafter can be a source of motivation to superiority and racism in the race this nation. So if racism to the correct and rational people believe there is no origin, for the cause and origin of racism should be looking for other causes. Carefully revealed verses of the Holy Quran, we find that the descendants of the people at the beginning of its creation, namely the life story of Prophet Joseph (PEACE BE UPON HIM) had the same speech and the expression “we are a powerful group” Joseph had the superior claim and said the Holy Quran and transportation “so that only your father understands it”, jealous brothers explicit nature says, here we see the origin and motivation of this claim, the domination, jealousy is innate. Envy the meaning and essence of this concept is that people realize their jealous than others and, therefore, could see a wealth knows no blessing to others. So if we consider jealousy the origin of self-conceitedness, we haven’t had said a wrong word.
The kind of jealousy which appeared in the children of Israel from the beginning of the story of prophet Joseph (PEACE BE UPON HIM) and before that in the story of forceful migration of Hagar and Ishmael peace be upon them to a dry land of Mecca, continues till the present day. In verse 109 of surah the Cow, God says that the origin of malevolence of the people of the book towards believers is their essential jealousy (a jealousy from their own). This essential inclination acts despite all the awareness and knowledge even when the fact is specified (after that fact became known to them).
Jealousy has nothing to do with the truth and acknowledging to it continues to its way. What can be said now is that nepotism and superiority of Jewish origin, rather than being a vision and a true belief, it is an inherent and inborn trait that is caused by inherent jealousy and like many other superstitious beliefs, there is no rational basis and not logical, but repetition and continuity of this claim, in the long years, it's just a belief in the institution for the people, life and blessings for your life, you will not care for others, we should be giving up his claim cover his innate jealousy.
Perhaps the question arises that how the Holy Quran also joins the claims of these people and in some verses talk about the superiority of the children of Israel. The answer is that what the Holy Quran speaks of it is totally different with what the Jews are claiming. The Jewish inherent features such as special communication with God on Judgment Day and other special features of personality and individual abilities are nothing to be given to an individual Jewish person, but in this respect all walks of society from man and woman, black and white are equal to God and there's no superiority but for one who has virtue.
But it is the issue of facilities and blessings that in specific times such as the book, prophet hood, special miracles and certain governments like the kingdom of Prophet Solomon (PEACE BE UPON HIM) and Prophet David (PEACE BE UPON HIM) are given to Jewish community. Taking much care about favors granted indicates that the alleged virtues mentioned in the Quran are social and individual facilities. Miracles which have been brought for this people more than other nations, though considered as God's virtue, but it would be because of the obduracy, obstinacy and a greater tendency on the part of the people of the world that God has created for them to need more miracles. In other words, what is related to the Jewish people has been the weak conditions that has resulted in the excess and the virtue from God. Therefore, the statement of the holy Quran is not at all in line with claims of Jews regarding their inborn superiority, but with a closer look we can draw a different conclusion in the holy Quran and that is the existence of weak backgrounds which results in the increase in miracles for the guiding of this tribe.
Finally, what we can be said about the backgrounds for the emergence of self-conceitedness of Jewish people is that according to historical evidence, its basic root is the inborn jealousy, that is to say this is just a characteristic issue that in the course of history ideological layers justify this jealousy, such as claiming to be sons and friends of God and their being kept away from the chastisement of another world and the like has added to it.
The lie that the liar has also believed it and finally has developed Jewish community as a claimant tribe that in the course of the time have had the claim of superiority over all other nations and consequently having clash and conflict with others. This tribe has always made other nations suffer and have bothered them. This tribe does not see other nations worthy of human dignity and based on teachings from Talmud, God has created two kinds of animals for Jews, the first kind include those ordinary animals we are acquainted with and the other group of animals are non-Jews.
That is to say Jews have such view of people other than Jewish ones and it is evident that when they see other people with this outlook, they feel no commitment before them and if they are forced to make covenants with them, feel no obligation stay committed to it. The alphabet of social life is the observance of covenants and contracts (O, you believers! Observe your covenants); those who violate covenants and contracts, do not deserve friendship and communication.
O, you who have believed! Do not take Jews or Christians as friends. Based on this verse God says: you will find that Jews and other nonbelievers have the most enmity with believers. The best position to take when facing with those who don’t respect the existence of other people and are famous for their law breaking is to cut any relationship with them because they will take the worst position when interacting with not just Muslims but with all non-Jews.
In today world, those countries which has disregarded clear orders of the Holy Quran relating this people and has started relationship with them and had recognized them, what answer do they have before God and Prophet Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM) in the Day of Judgment? Aren’t such acts a kind of disregarding the text of Quran which will be faced with this divine tradition in this world and in the Hereafter: “But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and we shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment?”
