Islam will triumph until the end of time and Jesus will help Muslims defeat the Jews and the Dajjal (Antichrist). -Quran 5:12-15 "Allah made a covenant with the Children of Israel and appointed twelve leaders from among them and ˹then˺ said, “I am truly with you. If you establish prayer, pay alms-tax, believe in My messengers, support them, and lend to Allah a good loan, I will certainly forgive your sins and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow. And whoever among you disbelieves afterwards has truly strayed from the Right Way." But for breaking their covenant We condemned them and hardened their hearts. They distorted the words of the Scripture and neglected a portion of what they had been commanded to uphold. You ˹O Prophet˺ will always find deceit on their part, except for a few. But pardon them and bear with them. Indeed, Allah loves the good-doers. And from those who say, “We are Christians,” We took their covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they had been commanded to uphold. So We let hostility and enmity arise between them until the Day of Judgment, and soon Allah will inform them of all they have done. "O People of the Book! Now Our Messenger `Muhammad` has come to you, revealing much of what you have hidden of the Scriptures and disregarding much. There certainly has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book through which Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the ways of peace, brings them out of darkness and into light by His Will, and guides them to the Straight Path." -Quran 5:51 "O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians-they are guardians of each other. Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people." -Quran 3:78 "There are some among them `People of the Book` who distort the Book with their tongues to make you think this ˹distortion˺ is from the Book-but it is not what the Book says. They say, “It is from Allah”-but it is not from Allah. And ˹so˺ they attribute lies to Allah knowingly." -Quran 17:4-8 "And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant. When the first of the two warnings would come to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled. Then ˹after your repentance˺ We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them. If you act rightly, it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is to your own loss. “And when the second warning would come to pass, your enemies would ˹be left to˺ totally disgrace you and enter that place of worship as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever would fall into their hands. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you ˹if you repent˺, but if you return ˹to sin˺, We will return ˹to punishment˺. And We have made Hell a ˹permanent˺ confinement for the disbelievers.” -Sahih al-Bukhari 3448 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah in Whose Hands my soul is, surely Jesus the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly as a Just Ruler; he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah in prayer will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." -Sahih Muslim 2944 Anas ibn Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The Dajjal (Antichrist) would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls." -Sahih Muslim 2922 Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: 'O Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him'; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews." -Sunan Abi Dawud 4324 Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (ﷺ). He will descent to the earth. When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish tax. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Dajjal (Anti-christ) and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him."

Preservation of the Pharaoh’s Body: Verse: "So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign." (Quran 10:92) Context: This verse is believed to refer to the Pharaoh who drowned while pursuing Moses (Musa) and the Israelites. The verse states that the body of the Pharaoh would be preserved as a "sign" for future generations. Some scholars argue that this was fulfilled when the mummified body of a Pharaoh, believed by some to be Ramses II or Merneptah, was discovered in Egypt and displayed in museums. This has been interpreted as a sign of God's power and the fulfillment of the Quranic prediction.

BTW Israel means Prophet Jacob (that was a name given to him) it doesnt mean a country Israel. Children of Jacob (Israel) are jews, children of Ishmael are arabs. Both coming from Abraham.

@@muhammadazizullahazizullah2648 I don't see consensus on this. Some think it means "one who wrestles with God" because of its ties to Jacob, or something like "one who prevails with God". In the 2nd Temple period it looks like it started to be understood as "a man seeing God". Al in all, it is just used to refer to the land in the middle east promised to the people of God.

[@mobeen80]

The Quran refers to children of Israel who had genetic ties to the holy land. The modern day israeltes in contrast have no ethic or genetic ties whatsoever to the holy land and therefore not referred to as Bani israel. Rather they are those who were barred by the creator to reclaim the holy land as their own and were to only brought back by gog and Magog ( modern western civilisation).

[@daxvanderwal]

Interesting, so you would only call Jews with ties to ancient Israel "Israelites"?

[@abdihakimjama1556]

Victory of the Romans: Verses: "The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome within a few years." (Quran 30:2-4) Context: This verse refers to the Byzantine Romans who were defeated by the Persians. The Quran predicted that the Romans would, despite this defeat, make a comeback within "a few years." Historically, this prophecy is believed to have been fulfilled when the Byzantine Empire, under Emperor Heraclius, achieved a major victory over the Persians around 627 CE, approximately 7-9 years after their initial defeat. This prophecy is considered significant because it was made at a time when the Romans' defeat seemed definitive and their resurgence unlikely.

The verse 8 you said if they repent god will have mercy on them (as the chosen people) in the Quran Islam generally there is no chosen people all of us is one Infront of god eyes he told us in this verse "The most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you" yeah in the past he gave him favors and alot of things but as a normal human beings who live in this world wealth, children and food but he didn't chose them for something ❤

[@daxvanderwal]

thank you for sharing man

[@amilitarymind]

As a Muslim, I agree with your early statements, in that this is not a prophecy but an account of past events. Verse 8 is understood to be a speech directed to the Jews imploring them to return to the righteous path and a warning at the same time through the use of poetic Arabic and choice of words by Allah where many Arabic words have multiple parallel meanings i.e the use of عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا ۘ (you revert/repent /return {and so shall we} return to you (in favour and forgiveness) / accept your repentance / return to judging you accordingly. عُدتُّمْ does have these many potential meanings and can also mean all of those things at the same time and even more. However, I understand why some scholars interpret it and specifically verse 8 as a prophecy (I and others prefer to call it a 'Warning') due to Number 2 below. So these verses from my understanding mean this: Number 1: A reminder from the past, that Allah judges wrongdoers specifically the Israelites, the people He favoured at one point, and Number 2: that Allah is forgiving and merciful to those who repent with sincerity BUT also those who return to sin, Allah shall also return to judging them harshly, i.e sending a host or army to destroy them. So it could be considered a warning to the Israelites of the future. Still not a prophecy, but a warning. In any case, there ARE prophecies in the Quran and by the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in Hadith and I will encourage you to discover them through what seems to be your sincere exploration of Islam and I will follow your perspective and journey with interest because you are a very well spoken and rational person. And if you have any questions about the Arabic specifically as it relates to the Quran, feel free to reach out, or better yet consult the scholars and men of knowledge, as God encourages us to do.

[@daxvanderwal]

Hey! I appreciate your thoughts. I do see how v8 could be a general warning of "returning to sin means returning to judgement from Allah". I think that is a consistent theological theme seen in Islam (and even Christianity). Thanks for offering your help! I greatly appreciate that man, I will write down your name and reach out if I need. In this first series I want to focus on the Quran (the Roman prophecy, prophecy about Abu Lahab not repenting, etc.) and then from there I will look at Hadith prophecies. Or perhaps "scientific miracles". I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

[@omar0bin0thabit]

My personal take which favour the modernist opinion : The Quran did not mention the destruction of the Temple twice but that the "Sons of Isreal" will cause curroption and will (((ascend to high power twice))) , their first fall with Babylon and that was done, the second could not be with the Romans because they were occupied by Romans thus they were irrelevant on the other hand the Quran explicitly mention that the sons of Isreal will be granted wealth and population and they will be able to mobilize more troops when "they call to Arms" ... now do you want me to continue?

[@daxvanderwal]

hey! the temple part comes from verse 7. It says the destroyers will enter their place of worship (as they did the first time). So this means they enter the temple twice and destroy it. Why don't you think this section talks about the temple?

[@omar0bin0thabit]

@daxvanderwal to be accurate it say they will enter the "Masjid" like they did the first time .. and as I understand it, and it's a personal opinion that those conqurers will be entering the Masjid a second time.. so we have here another plausible prophecy pointing out to the first Muslim liberation of Alquds .. so it doesn't say that your temple will be destroyed twice, but rather those who entered the second have done it before in sense it that has no link to the sons of Isreal ... again, this is my personal opinion ..

[@moafro6524]

Brother Dax, good to have you back. The Verses from the Quran you mentioned basically mirror these verses from the bible 14:40-42, and DEUT. 31:30. Clear warning from both text are being ignored. The decedents of Jacob are not allowed to return to that land, a decree from God, they are prohibited per divine decree. If they try to resettle that land they are committing straight KUFR (they have disbelieved). I am not sure if you are aware of the 3 oaths, you should look them up. 1 to be in exile and not return. 2. to not rebel against the nations of the world. 3. Nations should not excessively oppress Jacob’s decedents. Not sure his name but one Rabbi said we should be patient if the third oath is broken, because that means we are not doing the oppressing, a sin so grievous in the sight of God. Both events occurred already, one was Babylonian conquest 586bce, and the other was the Roman conquest 70ce. Now we both know the closer to the source the more accurate interpretations are. So obviously old interpretations are correct. The only new information here is verse 8, if you return we will return. This I believe is the current situation, they have returned (causing corruption in the land with extreme arrogance). So we are just waiting for second part of ‘if you return we will return’ Moreover they are not the only ones committing KUFR of their scripture and tradition. Christian Sionists are also committing KuFR. According to your scripture. The NT propagates Covenantal supercessionism, Replacement Theology. 1 John 2:22: “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist.” Funny Muslims do believe he is the Christ. Gen 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless you and curse him that curses you.” Becomes ““There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” in Gal 3:28-29. Jesus was the Temple from the following ref John 2:19-21Matthew 12:6,Revelation 21:22,Colossians 2:9,Hebrews 9:11-12,1 Corinthians 3:16-17,Ephesians 2:19-22,Matthew 26:61,Mark 14:58,Acts 7:48-50,John 4:21-24, So rebuilding the temple means they don’t believe that Jesus was the temple, Kufr. Returning when ordered into excile, Kufr. More over, What does HEREM mean in the bible. Deuteronomy 7:1-2, Deuteronomy 20:16-18, Joshua 6:17, Joshua 6:21, 1 Samuel 15:3, Leviticus 27:28. Please explain to us how this and Mitsvah 528 are not what we are witnessing. Which of these is worse in your eyes, Islamic defensive permission to fight oppression and not transgress, or the biblical ordering of HEREM and mitzvah 528? btw paraphrased someone else work mostly here. But they mirror my own thoughts and are very very accurate. Not cool btw saying its a prophecy when clearly the only thing here speaking of the future is "if you return we will return"

[@daxvanderwal]

I agree that it’s not cool to say it’s a prophesy when it’s not talking about the future, this is why I don’t think it’s a prophesy. But many Muslims in the modern day do say this (enough for Muslim apologists like Shabir Ally to acknowledge) so I felt a video on this would be justified. All in all it sounds like you agree with the conclusion of the traditional Islamic sources here, which I think is wise. I’ll have to think about the rest of your comment more as I haven’t heard these verses collected together in the way you propose. And to be honest I’m not sure if I fully accept replacement theology or not, it’s hard to believe no promise about the land is still binding for Jews. But I will need to study more.

[@moafro6524]

@@daxvanderwal Thats the thing about Islam Dax, Its inherently resistant to change, and reforms, as it is the final complete instructions for a righteous life. One way to keep the faith pure is the chain of teaching licenses, all the way to the Prophet pbuh, taught by Gabriel, who was taught by God Almighty. This eliminates fake uneducated wanna bees. Our Christian brothers used to have the same thing, Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:1-2 claims he is does not need such teaching license because he saw Jesus. Imagine the people who walked with and studied under Jesus himself, whom he left in charge are being challenged by a guy who never studied under Jesus or seen him alive, 'claims' he is getting revelation directly from Jesus, 13 of the 27 books of NT are his, constantly arguing with men from James? A current example is Scofield of the Scofield Bible, D.D, where did he get his doctors of devinity? No one knows, its self appointed. The bible says. 1 Timothy 5:8: "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. So scofield, who abandoned his wife and 2 daughters because of booze, is translating the bible for millions today, telling them its Scripture to Commit HEREM against women and children on the base of race, we dont need a book to tell us that is ungodly as god hates oppression. Proverbs 14:31: Micah 6:8:Isaiah 1:17: Exodus 22:21-24: Luke 4:18-19: Jesus, quoting from Isaiah, says, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." Ash-Shura (42:42) "The way [of blame] is only against those who oppress people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment."These are the teachings of God, not Herem. Anyways bro sorry went too long, Glad to hear you will ponder over this.

Disregarding classical schools of interpretation, many of whom were focused solely on finding the simplest interpretations while being as literal as can possibly be --most Arabic speaking people understand those verses differently. There are two prevailing interpretations, both of which agree on the first verse, which is the ascention to great height. Classical interpretations are at fault in that they ignore the adjective here and count every Israeli kingdom as valid, they're also mistaken for assuming the rise to be needing to happen twice --the corruption was mentioned twice, the rise followed. The kingdom of Solomon may not even be a part of this prophecy, and it would be misbegotten to even assume that it had come at the heels of a corruption, when Solomon himself was a prophet of God. The classical schools have a very restrictive approach in order to command the most legitimacy, because their adherents can always accuse anyone of incorporating their own agenda when their interpretations are simpler and more literal. As for where the two most popular interpretations differ, it's in who's it directed to in the Quran, because the Quran itself speaks to Muslims, but it could also be a reference whereby the Isralites were spoken to instead. If it's the Isralites, then it foretells the rise and fall of their great kingdom, but it also absolves individuals of personal responsibility as this would be preordained, and that there would be mercy during the times of the fall. If, on the other hand, the Muslims are the ones spoken to, then it merely tells of the rise of the kingdom of Israel, without mention of a fall, and herin the last part becomes different. In any case, I would advise taking classical interpretations with some critical thought because the intention behind them is to garner legitimacy through simplicity, given that there is no analog to the Papacy in Islam.

[@daxvanderwal]

Thank you for sharing your insights! This is very interesting. It is difficult to understand how authoritative early interpreters should be. It seems that the benefit of the doubt is normally given to them, probably because they were closer to the events. So, it seems we should accept their views unless we have really good reasons for doing so. When it comes to this passage, I would say the reasons for abandoning the early interpretation aren't very persuasive.

But pardon them and bear with them. Indeed, Allah loves the good-doers. And from those who say, “We are Christians,” We took their covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they had been commanded to uphold. So We let hostility and enmity arise between them until the Day of Judgment, and soon Allah will inform them of all they have done. "O People of the Book!

They say, “It is from Allah”-but it is not from Allah. And ˹so˺ they attribute lies to Allah knowingly." -Quran 17:4-8 "And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant. When the first of the two warnings would come to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled. Then ˹after your repentance˺ We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them. If you act rightly, it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is to your own loss. “And when the second warning would come to pass, your enemies would ˹be left to˺ totally disgrace you and enter that place of worship as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever would fall into their hands. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you ˹if you repent˺, but if you return ˹to sin˺, We will return ˹to punishment˺. And We have made Hell a ˹permanent˺ confinement for the disbelievers.” -Sahih al-Bukhari 3448 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah in Whose Hands my soul is, surely Jesus the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly as a Just Ruler; he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah in prayer will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." -Sahih Muslim 2944 Anas ibn Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The Dajjal (Antichrist) would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls." -Sahih Muslim 2922 Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: 'O Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him'; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews." -Sunan Abi Dawud 4324 Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (ﷺ).

He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish tax. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Dajjal (Anti-christ) and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him."

The whole premise of the video was unbalanced from the get go. 1. If you and the information sourced from other scholars validated that this text was merely a recall of the original prophecy of the past that actually had already met all 4 of your standards, how can you use it to verify it as a Quranic futuristic prophecy? Yet, this own flawed premise led to the biased conclusion that this prophecy in the Quran is untrue. 2. The Quran is NOT an entirely new script, but rather a remembrance of the Torah and the Bible in their original forms as well. Thus, this a prophecy quoted in Torah for their future, thus a historical proof of the Quran being from the same God as Jews, to the testament that the Jews knew of the prophecy already within Torah and already had observed those 2 destructions of the Temple. Thus, a way to convince the Jews to return to the fold of original teachings and to cement the Quran as the same sourced script: from ALLAH (Hebrew has a similar name i.e. ALLAH from Torah) and not to feel anti-Islam because Islam is anti-polytheism which was flourishing in Arabia at that time. So this reference to the 'past' prophesy was a tool to encourage the Jews as well to trust the Quran as a common book, rather than something threatening to the changed dogmas within the evolved Judaism of the time. People should stop trying to stay in good books of modern Israel by trying to say nothing in the Holy Books referenced to their evil, or to connect everything in Quran to demise of Israel to justify any Muslim hate against Israel. NO. Any voice against Israel should solely be based on facts of their own actions in this current case study spanning 100 years, without making it a holy or crusade like thing.

[@daxvanderwal]

Hey! I'm not sure you understood the premise then (which I take some blame for, as the communicator). 1. I did not conclude this prophecy in the Quran is untrue, I concluded it is not testable. If anything, this could be counted as a testable prophecy in the previous scriptures, but there is not possible way this prophecy can be used to validate the "miraculous nature" of the Quran. My goal is simply to ask, can this show the Quran is divine? And the answer for this prophecy is... no. 2. To say the Quran uses prior material for rhetorical purposes is correct. I agree with that. But to say the Quran quoting an already existing text somehow shows the divine nature of the Quran... that just doesn't make sense. Any human has this ability. I actually appreciate your last paragraph. If someone has a polemic against Israel because of history the last 100 years, so be it.

Try to search in the Torah for verses in which God informs the Jews about the ascension twice. If you find them, it is a sign.... Also, your talk about the possibility of the second ascension happening...??? History and the Quran did not tell us... and God knows best.

[@daxvanderwal]

Even if it is found in the Torah that wouldn’t prove anything. The Quran was written after the Torah. This wouldn’t show the Quran is divine in any way

​@@daxvanderwali suggest reading the Samaritan torah its older than the modern torah which came from leningrad codex ( 1022 ad). Also the samaritan torah is still the oldest torah written around 2 century bc and is closest to the dead Sea scrolls, if you compare it with the old Testament you will find corruption in the old Testament. Also the Samaritans were the first to predict the coming of a prophet from arabia from their torah. They arrived in medina before Prophet Muhammad's arrival to meet him at that time he was big but had a few followers there are documents to prove it with the samaritan high priest to prove it. Also the dead Sea scrolls also mentioned Messiah from the line of priests which is Jesus and a messenger for the layman which is Prophet Muhammad's. If you want to investigate further you can contact Rev Dr Keith Ward from Uni of oxford he is probably the top scholar and theologian in the world who has studied on the subject. According to him there is now a consensus among biblical scholars about the quran being divine nature and Prophet Muhammad's coming predicted by the bibal manuscripts. I suggest you interview him.

I mean Jesus said for a period of Antichrists latter half reign Israel would be trampled by the Gentiles, this is until Zech 14 where Christ returns upon the Mount of Olives, literally splits it in half making way for the Israelites to escape and then fights their enemies alongside Judah. Anything prophesied in Islam is written in our Bible about a hundred times over with the prophecy of Israel being reestablished as a nation in the last days, being the most repeated prophecy. Even the Euphrates drying up was prophesied in Revelations, and yet in Islam, they mention that there would be tons of gold, and I've yet to see any 😂

@wwitness i agree with how the quran comes after, but the bible has so mamy versions... not that they don't have the same core belief, but they all have different stories and get rejected by the churches, how weird is that? Also, muslims believe allah sent the injeel to isa as and it was the true bible, which makes sense in the consensus that the bible has been well, not corrupted, but changed over and over: NRSV, KJV, NIV, etc, while yes, my aforementioned claim of them having the same belief is right, there are many stories which have been excluded.

[@DamilolaYusuf091]

​@@daxvanderwalthat is why we don't have version of the Qur'an. And we don't read it in other language than Arabic when praying. If we all are to put all the books in the sea, only the Qur'an will be produced back because we memorized it and it a miracle we all believe. The language Arabic is broad and that is why it was revealed in the Arabic language, if you try to translate it to other language, you might not really get the meaning but close to it. I appreciate your assessment and it's your choice and opinion and perhaps this is not the only thing in the Qur'an, look at the scientific facts and prophecies of the Prophet which has been happening today with unbiased mind and God knows best on what we do not. Well, That is better for you if you truly understood what is right and what is wrong for you. We don't force to Islam or you should join Islam because only God guides and non can misguide and only God misguide and non can guide to the straight path. It's good you are reading the Qur'an but also don't forget about the tafsir (explanation). The hadiths are there for you to check as well. We are humans and we are infallible so your assessment is your assessment and me and others too can come up with theirs either they are Muslims or non Muslim.
