Kuna waislam, wasomi wa dini ya Kiislam ambao wanasema wazi kuwa Quran imetamka wazi kuwa Israel ni ardhi ya Wayahudi, na kama wao waislam watataka kuichukua ardhi hiyo, wataanguka na kushindwa.
Moja ya maandiko wanayorejea kwenye Quaran, ni Sura 5 verse 21 kwenye kuran, ambayo inasema kuwa, "Israel ni ya Wayahudi".
Andiko zima, rejea hapa chini:
Khaleel Mohammed, Islamic Law scholar of the San Diego State University, noted that Sura 5 verse 21 of the Qur'an, and the medieval exegetes of the Qur'an, say that Israel belongs to the Jews. He translates it thus:
[Moses said]: O my people! Enter the Holy Land which God has written for you, and do not turn tail, otherwise you will be losers." Mohammed here understands "written" to mean this is the final word from God on the subject. In reaction, he was inundated with hate mail.[4]
And We said to the Children of Israel after Pharaoh, “Reside in the land, but when the promise of the Hereafter comes to pass, We will bring you all together.”
— Surah Al-Isra 17:104
And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! ...Enter the Holy Land which Allah has destined for you ˹to enter˺. And do not turn back or else you will become losers.”
— Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:20-107
Kuna maandiko mengi ambayo yapo ndani ya Quran kwa usahihi, lakini kuna waislam, labda kwa ubinadamu na chuki zao, hawataki kuyarejea. Hata Yesu Kristo Masiha ametajwa kwa heshima kubwa kwenye Quran, tena Muhamad anasema kuwa yeye ni mfuasi namba moja wa Yesu (Isaih). Quaran inasema kuwa Yesu (Isaih) atakuja siku ya mwisho, kuja kukilalia kiti cha Daud, atakuja kuwahukumu wanadamu, lakini kwa vile tu wakiyarejea hayo kwenye Quran, wataonekana wanawaunga mkono wakristo, wanaamua kuyakwepa maandiko hayo yaliyopo ndani ya Quran. Tena Quran inasema, itakuja wakati waislam watakuwa kitu kimoja na wakristo. Maneno hayo yapo kwenye Quran, lakini hawataki kabisa kuyasema. Wao wanatafuta zaidi maandiko wanayoona yanaweza kupalilia uhasama, huku wakisema kuwa uislam ni dini ya haki. Haki ipi, kama unafurahia utengano badala ya mshikamano?
Waarabu wa Palestine, wakiri kuwa Canaan ilikuwa ya Wayahudi lakini ndani yake kulikuwa na jamii nyingine pia. Kama mataifa mengine, ndani ya Taifa moja wanaishi watu wa dini tofauti, makabila tofauti, watu wenye asili tofauti, kwa nini hiyo Israel na maeneo hayo yanayokaliwa na Wapalestina, isiwe yote ni nchi moja yenye jamii za watu tofauti? Kama Tanzania imewezekana, Marekani imewezekana, Canada imewezekana, kwa nini ishindikane hapo Mashariki ya kati?
Tanzania ina wahindi, waarabu, wabulushi, wasomali, wahutu na watusi wenye asili ya Burundi na Rwanda, na makabila yetu ya kibandu kibao. Tuna wakristo, wahindu, baniani, waislam, imani za matambiko, n.k; mbona tunaishi bila shida? Kwa nini Waarabu huwa wanapenda waishi wao pekee yao? Kwa nini mataifa hawaweki mkazo zaidi kuwe na Taifa moja linalojumuisha jamii ya Wayahudi na waarabu, wanaoishi kwa amani? Huenda mchanganyiko huo, baadaye ungeweza kusaidia kuwabadili waarabu ambao kiasili inaonekana ni watu wanaopenda kuuana.
