Who Has the Right to Palestine?

Who Has the Right to Palestine?

Several times I got a question, that went something like, "Is not that the Palestinians are indeed in the ancient land of the Jews? Therefore, they are entitled to return to Palestine and take their land again. "

The answer to this question is actually very simple. For example, is not the first who lived in Indonesia, the Yunnan (South China)? Whether they should now come to Indonesia and claimed again that once inhabited the land-great-great-grandmother of their fathers?

But, it could not hurt us to read history, to know whether the ancient Jews had lived in Palestine and later evicted?

Harun Yahya article below is the text which I think is best, let alone use the argument of the Koran. I copy from here.

***********

... All the land of Palestine, especially Jerusalem, is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The reason is because most of the prophets of God sent to warn people to spend part or all of their lives on this land.

According to the study of history based on archaeological excavations and sheets of scripture, the Prophet Ibrahim, his son, and a small number of people who follow it first moved to Palestine, known then as Canaan, in the nineteenth century before Christ. Tafsir Al-Qur'an indicates that Ibrahim (Abraham), U.S., estimated to live in the Palestinian areas known today as Al-Khalil (Hebron), lived there with the Prophet Lut (Lot). The Qur'an mentions this movement as follows:

We said: "O fire be coolness, and a safety for Abraham", they want to do treason against Ibrahim, but We made them the greatest losers. And We seIamatkan Ibrahim and Lut to a land which We had blessed for all people. (Qur'an, 21:69-71)

This area, described as "the land which We have blessed," explained the various details of the Qur'an that refers to the land of Palestine.

Before [the arrival] AS Ibrahim, the Canaanites ([original inhabitants of the land] Palestine) had been the idol worshipers. Ibrahim convince them to abandon their disbelief and acknowledge one God. According to historical sources, he built the house for his wife Hajar and his son Isma'il (Ishmael) in Mecca and its surroundings, while his other wife Sarah, and his second son Ishaq (Isaac) remained in Canaan. Like that also, the Qur'an states that Prophet Abraham built the house for some of her son around the Baitul Haram, which according to the explanation of the Qur'an took place in the valley of Mecca.

Our Lord, indeed I have put some of my offspring in a valley that does not have the plants near the house you (House) are respected, our Lord (such) that they establish the prayer, then make the hearts of some people tend to them and give them good luck with fruits, hopefully they will be grateful. (Qur'an, 14:37)

However, the son of Ishaq, [namely] Ya'qub (Jacob) moved to Egypt for his son Yusuf (Joseph) was given the task of state. (The sons of Ya'qub also remembered as the "Children of Israel.") After the release of Joseph from prison and his appointment as chief treasurer of Egypt, the Israelites were living in peace and security in Egypt.

One time, their situation changed after the passage of time, and treat them with cruelty Pharaoh is awesome. God made Moses (Moses) the prophet him during that time, and ordered him to take them out of Egypt. He went to Pharaoh and asked him to leave kafirnya faith and surrender to God, and liberate the Children of Israel who is also called the people of Israel. But Pharaoh a cruel and ruthless tyrant. He enslaved the Children of Israel, they employ nearly to death, and then ordered the killing of the boys. Continuing atrocities, he gave unto Moses, hateful response. To prevent his followers, who are really magicians of trust Moses, he threatened to chop off hands and legs are crossed.

Musa and his people [later ran] left Egypt [Pharaoh's persecuted and his army], with the help of the miracle of God, circa 1250 BC. They lived in the Sinai Peninsula and east of Canaan. In the Qur'an, Moses commanded the Israelites to enter Canaan:

O my people, go to the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has prescribed for you, and do not run backward (for fear of the enemy), then you become the losers. (Qur'an, 5:21)

After Moses, the Israelites stayed in Canaan (Palestine). According to the historian, David (David) became king of Israel and built a powerful empire. During the reign of his son Sulaiman (Solomon), expanded the boundaries of Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates River south of the country is now in the northern Syrians. It was a glorious period for the kingdom of Israel in many fields, particularly architecture. In Jerusalem, Solomon built a palace and monastery are remarkable. After his death, God sent prophets to the many Children of Israel even though in many cases they do not listen to them and betraying God.

Because of moral decline, the kingdom of Israel began to fade and is occupied by a variety of pagan people, and Israel, also known as the Jews at that time, be enslaved again. When Palestine controlled by the Roman crown, Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) came and the U.S. once again took the Children of Israel to abandon his pride, superstition, and betrayal, and live according to Allah's religion. Very few Jews who believe in it, most of the Children of Israel would deny it. And, as mentioned Al-Qur'an, those who: "has dila'nati unbelievers of the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and 'Isa son of Maryam. That is, because they disobeyed and always exceeded the limit. (Al-Qur'an, 5:78).

After the passage of time, God brought the Jews by the Romans, who drove them all out of Palestine.

The purpose of this lengthy explanation is to show that the basis of Zionist opinion that "Palestine is the land God promised to the Jews" are not true. This subject will be discussed in more detail in the chapter on Zionism.

Zionism translate the notion of the "chosen people" and "Promised Land" from the standpoint of nationality. According to this statement, every person who comes from the Jews were "chosen" and had "promised land." In fact, race has no value in God's eyes, because what is important is one's piety and faith. In view of God, the people elected are people who still follow the religion of Abraham, regardless of race.

The Qur'an also emphasizes this fact. Allah states that the legacy of Abraham is not the Jews who are proud of as "children of Abraham," but the people who live by the religion of Islam is:

Those closest to Abraham are those who follow him and this Prophet (Muhammad), with those who believe (to Muhammad), and Allah is the protector of all those who believe. (Qur'an, 3:68 )
