The purpose of this hadith is to discourage anyone from giving testimony about a particular person's destination in the afterlife, be it Paradise or Hell. This is because a child may adopt their parents' religious beliefs, even if their parents are non-Muslims. Furthermore, even if an individual claims to be a Muslim, their faith may not be genuine.

Children tend to follow in the footsteps of their parents, and if a child dies at a young age without following the Islamic faith, they will be judged according to the authentic Islamic criteria on the Day of Judgment. If they had obeyed the teachings, they will enter Paradise, and if they had disobeyed, they will be sent to Hell, just like the people who lived during the time of Jesus and Muhammad. It is believed that they will be tested  on the Day of Judgment.

This also applies to children. That is why when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about the children of polytheists, he said, "Allah knows best about what they used to do."

As for the children of Muslims, they follow their parents and, according to Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jama'ah, they are in Paradise with their parents. The children of Muslims follow their parents in Paradise. However, the children of disbelievers will be tested on the Day of Judgment.

Quran: The Final Testament

The main message of the Qur'an is that there is only one God who created everything. He is very kind and forgiving and gives life to all living things. It doesn't make sense to worship anything or anyone else besides Him or to reject Him.

The Qur’an serves as direct guidance from God, urging mankind to reason and ponder over His signs.

 The main message of the Qur'an is the same message conveyed by all Prophets and Messengers in the past, emphasizing the Oneness of God.

 We are God's perfect creation, placed on Earth to administer it well for all mankind and His other creations. Our duty is to invite people with wisdom and kindness to submit to God, uphold justice regardless of race and religion, and stand against oppression. Truth stands clear from falsehood, and people are free to choose. Those who reject God will be dealt with by Him on Judgment Day.

 The Quran has mentioned the disbelievers in Makkah who were hostile towards the Prophet and his followers. This was because they opposed the new social order brought by Islam, which taught that mere belief in absolute monotheism was not enough to earn Allah's pleasure. The Quran uses these events as lessons and reminders for Muslims to prepare themselves for similar challenges that they may face in the future. These challenges will continue to arise until the end of time.

God conveys His message through the promise of Paradise to those who make an effort to follow His path and remain steadfast on it. On the other hand, He also warns of the severe consequences of Hellfire for those who reject or show indifference towards His message.

Finally, the Quran asserts that life is a test of faith. Death is certain, and real life begins after it. We will be held accountable for our actions, and good deeds and piety towards God are the only currency that matters on that day.

Food Myth Debunk

 Issues

Nutrition Changing View. People are totally confused and competing things,  eggs are bad eggs are good,  meat is bad meats are good, coconut oils are bad, coconuts are good and it's bad again.  How do you make sense of it and interpret the science we know in 2023;  about what's true we should be eating.

Research shortcoming. Nutritional studies are done on populations over a long period of time but they're not cause-and-effect studies they are just correlations.  Eating meat seems to cause heart disease because the population was studied at the time they actually didn't care about their health this is an example of confusing science.

 Competing diet programs like the Paleo, vegan, keto, low-fat high-fat low carb high carb.  Enough to give everybody a headache and give up.

 Food is medicine. We think of food mostly as Energy's calories. Restriction is the way to lose weight,  eat less and exercise more. There's really no evidence that works because we've been getting fatter and fatter. The truth is that food is actually far more than calories.

 Food is required not just for energy but to heal, repair and uplift our body.  Food changes your gene expression; regulates your hormones;  changes your immune system;  it can create inflammation and reduce inflammation;  affects your microbiome;  and affects your brain chemistry so if you're putting junk in you gonna get the junk out. That is why disease happen.  food is probably one of the most powerful drugs on the planet. We can reverse type 2 diabetes in a few weeks by changing people's diets.  but there's no medication that can do that.

 Health practitioner dilemma. Doctors aren't being trained how they should. Doctors don't learn anything about nutrition in their med school.

Food Industry / Govt / National policy. The government is heavily influenced by lobbyists. That is what's influencing policy.  Our dietary guidelines are influenced by industry and have their own agenda which of course not about food as medicine For instance, government-funded national health promotion of dairy. Science said there's no evidence that milk protects against fractures.  A skim milk which we make all our kids drink low-fat milk actually leads to more obesity in kids actual dairy has no fat and skim milk makes you hungry.

Food industry wicked strategy. The food industry enhances flavour taste consistency and they're not things we should be eating. Their food is like substances they're not real food. Certain foods in the food supply are addictive. Sugar mainly and processed foods are designed to be addictive. The food industry hires craving experts to create the Bliss point of food. They create the most pleasurable experience that biologically affects our brain like cocaine heroin or alcohol.

 Food Industry marketing. The food industry funds a lot of research.  Study it's 8 to 50 times more likely to show a benefit for their product.

 Popular Diets confusing explain

Plant-rich diet. Our diet should plant rich and not be heavy on protein.  In fact, heavy protein is actually turned into sugar in the blood.

 Important of fats. Fat is actually what our bodies need to thrive so we probably need about 50% of our calories as fat. By volume, we need to mostly plant  70% of our plate should be vegetables and that doesn't have very many calories. 21 cups of broccoli has 750 calories. We're supposed to eat low saturated fat to reduce cholesterol but did you know that breast milk is 25 percent more saturated fat

The National Academy of Sciences recently showed that saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease.   Science shows there's no link between dietary saturated fat and cholesterol. Saturated fat and heart disease do raise your LDL cholesterol but it also raises the good one and it lowers triglycerides.

Meat debunk. Not a lot of evidence that meat is harmful it's a great source of protein and antioxidants

Vege vs animal protein. Another trending diet is the vegan diet. You still need animal protein.   You need a six-ounce piece of fish or chicken while you need three cups of beans and that's a lot of beans and it comes with 100 grams of carbs. Beans aren't terrible but they're they're also low in an amino acid which is critical for making muscle. There's good evidence that the best quality protein it's animal protein but it should be organic sustainably raised grass.

 Pegan it's a mostly plant-rich diet with lots of fats and good fats it's if you're gonna eat animal foods have the ones that are sustainably raised or harvested or grass-finished,  lots of nuts and seeds, small amounts of grains and beans mostly like low gluten grains. 

Bottom line our diet should be plants. We should have a plant-rich diet with small amounts of sustainably raised or harvested animal foods whether it's chicken fish or meat. And should be eating a lot of good fats and that's pretty much the diet .it's low starch and sugar and you can have a very high starch and sugar vegan diet.  It also depends on your metabolism.

 

 

Islam and Mental Health

 The study found that there is a link between faith in God and mental health, yet the connection is not a direct or clear one. Depending on things like the type, intensity, and environment of religious belief and practice, different studies have found different benefits of religiosity on mental health.

Here are some ways that faith might be good for mental health:

- Faith gives people meaning, hope, and comfort, which can help them deal with stress, pain, and hardship.

-Faith can help build community and social support, making you feel less lonely and alone.

- Faith can make you feel good feelings like gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion, which are good for your health and happiness.

- Having faith can help you do healthy things, like staying away from drugs, meditating, and working, which are all good for your physical and mental health.

Some of the ways that faith can adversely affect mental health :

- People can feel guilty, anxious, or doubtful if they think they are not living up to their religious standards or ideals. This can make their faith worse.

- Faith can cause or make discrimination, intolerance, or stigma worse if people are rejected, persecuted, or intolerated because of their religious views or practices.

- Faith can stop people from getting professional help or make them wait to do so if they only depend on prayer, faith healing, or counselling from clergy, or if people in their religious groups have negative views or beliefs about mental health care.

Thus, the link between faith in God and mental health is complex and has many parts. It can be different for each person and each case. Many people use their faith to deal with problems, grow, and do well in life. There is no direct answer to the question of whether faith is good or bad for mental health.

In the case of Islam, research has shown that adopting the faith can promote sound mental health and even prevent depression. This is because Islamic beliefs and practices give individuals a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The teachings of Islam encourage them to maintain a positive outlook on life, show gratitude for what they have, and seek support from their fellow believers.

Muslims also have faith in Qada Qadar, which means they unquestionably accept Allah's divine decree for them and whatever happens to them as a test to prove their deeds. We humans have many weaknesses, but Allah reminds believers to consistently repent before Him and strive to improve their faith. Our sincerity will be judged soundly on the Day of Recompense.

Additionally, the daily prayers and recitation of Quranic verses help to calm the mind and reduce stress, which can have a significant impact on one's mental health. Overall, gaining faith in Islam can be a powerful tool in promoting spiritual well-being and mental and emotional well-being.

Finnancial Literacy

There are four different types of people in the cash flow quadrant: (E) employees, (S) self-employed, small businesses or specialists like a doctor or a lawyer, (B) big businesses with 500 employees or more and (I ) investors. The distinction is that each of these is four different types of people, and they have four other tax laws for all four classes. And this is throughout the world.

My poor dad always said to go to school so you can get a job. My poor dad wanted me to be an employee like him, and there was nothing wrong with this except that the tax laws were the worst for employees. Employees are having a tough time today. Not only are there high gas prices, but there will be higher taxes.

My rich dad advised me to become an entrepreneur or a big business like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Those guys created Facebook and Yahoo, and he wanted me to become an investor, so he started playing the game of Monopoly. So, I learned to be an investor, and I learned to be an entrepreneur.

You can get rich in all four quadrants. It's up to you. My rich dad said if you want to be rich, you should learn to build businesses. It made more sense to him to work hard to build a business, something you owned and something you'd pass on from generation to generation to your kids, whereas my

This side over here has a crucial value: they want freedom; they don't want to work for the rest of their lives. So, the beauty of building a business and learning how to invest is effortless. This is passive income. You work hard for a few years, but possibly for the rest of your life, income keeps flowing to you.

Understanding cash flow is crucial for the wealthy. The word "cash flow" is of utmost importance. It's imperative to know where your cash is flowing. If money comes from an asset into your pocket, that's an asset. Assets are sources of income that put cash in your pocket whether you work or not. On the other hand, liabilities take money out of your pocket even when you work.

The key to a sound financial education is understanding good debt and bad. The new money rules show why savers may lose and debtors win.

Rintihan Bumi Palestin

Pada 2 November 1917, setiausaha luar Britain, Arthur Balfour, menulis surat yang telah cetus konflik yang terpanjang di dalam sejarah dunia.  Beliau setuju gagasan  penubuhan negara  Yahudi dan kerah segala usaha untuk capai objektif ini. Ini adalah kisah janji  British kepada Yahudi yang membawa kepada kemusnahan Palestin. Apakah yang buat British  janjikan  negara orang lain kepada Yahudi ? Semasa Perang Dunia I , British membuat banyak janji termasuk menjanjikan tanah air  kepada Yahudi di Palestin. Mereka juga menjanjikan kemerdekaan kepada  Arab jika mereka bangkit menentang musuh Britain pada waktu itu iaitu Empayar Uthmaniyyah. Emapayar ini perlu dijatuhkan untuk realisasi hasrat ini. Ini kerana Palestin pada waktu itu masih di bawah empayar Uthmaniyyah.

Sebulan selepas surat Balfour, tentera British mengambilalih Palestin yang  akhiri 400 tahun pemerintahan Uthmaniyyah. Penduduk yang menetap di sana adalah orang kebanyakan Arab beragama Islam, minoriti Kristian dan Yahudi. Yahudi di Eropah   mengalami penganiayaan yang dahsyat. Mereka merasakan Palestin boleh menjadi sebuah tempat untuk  mereka melarikan diri. Idea  membina negara Yahudi ini dikenali sebagai Zionisme. Ia adalah gerakan pinggiran di kalangan Yahudi Eropah yang merasakan perlu sebuah negara untuk mengelakkan penganiayaan berterusan

Theodore Herzel ialah seorang yang penting dalam usaha Zionisme. Tahun1896 beliau menerbitkan buku ‘Jewish State’ . Di dalamnya beliau kata satu-satunya cara bagi orang Yahudi untuk mengelakkan anti-semitisme  adalah bukan sahaja meninggalkan Eropah tetapi untuk mempunyai negara sendiri.  Herzel menganjurkan persidangan Kongres Zionis pertama di Switzerland. Para hadirin bersetuju  dan gerakan Zionis menjadi sangat aktif . Dana disediakan untuk mempromosikan imigrasi Yahudi ke Palestin. Banyak syarikat mula membeli tanah di sana dan merekrut wakil untuk menyokong tujuan mereka. Ramai pegawai tinggi British menyokong Zionisme.  Perdana menteri Lloyd George percaya mengumpulkan orang Yahudi  di Palestin akan membawa Yesus Kristus kembali ke bumi tersebut.  Menurut Balfour pula, keluarkan orang-orang Yahudi dari Eropah dan masuk mereka ke negara sendiri menjadi perkara yang baik. Herzel juga menulis bahawa Eropah  akan menjadi  sekutu sementara mereka. Zionis turut memberi jaminan kepada Britain bahawa mereka akan menjadi sekutu yang boleh dipercayai.

Sekarang kita akan melihat bagaimana Britain melakukan rancangannya. Perang Dunia I telah menjadi konflik dan saingan antara empayar. Negara yang menang dalam perang menubuhkan Liga Bangsa-Bangsa untuk mengagihkan wilayah pihak yang kalah sesama mereka.Mereka melaksanakan sistem mandat, meletakkan wilayah yang pernah dikuasai oleholeh empayar Uthmaniyyah dan Jerman di bawah pentadbiran mereka sehingga dimerdekakan. Britain telah diberi mandat ke atas Palestin, tetapi rakyat Palestin tidak pernah ditanya tentang bagaimana rancangan kemerdekaan bagi mereka. Sebaliknya,  British berunding dengan pihak Zionis  tentang visi mereka untuk tanah Palestin. British sangat akomodatif dengan projek Zionis. Masyarakat Yahudi di Palestin berkembang dengan gelombang penghijrahan yang besar. Mereka mempunyai sekolah, kilang  dan militia mereka sendiri iaitu Haganah.

Rakyat asal Palestin jelas  diabaikan Britain,  tiada niat untuk memberikan mereka  kemerdekaan sebaliknya menyampaikan negara mereka kepada orang Yahudi. Pada tahun 1936, rakyat Palestin melancarkan mogok. Tentera British  mematahkan serangan  dengan penangkapan, penyeksaan, hukuman besar-besaran dan hukuman mati. Pemimpin Palestin  dibuang negeri, senjata dirampas dan rumah diranapkan. Pejuang Palestin terusan menyerang  British dan Yahudi, manakala tentera British dan Haganah melakukan serbuan bersama ke atas perkampungan Palestin dengan zalim.

Keadaan jadi semakin genting. Kerajaan British menghantar satu suruhanjaya yang dipanggil Peel untuk cari jalan selesai, tetapi penyelesaian yang dicadangkan mereka adalah tipikal : sekadar lukis satu lagi garis  pada peta membahagikan negara kepada bahagian  Palestin dan Yahudi. Meski  rakyat Palestin adalah majoriti, 250,000 daripadanya perlu dikeluarkan secara paksa untuk menjadikan negara Yahudi yang maju. Sebaliknya, pemberontakan berterusan sehingga tahun 1939, pada masa itu kira-kira 10%   populasi lelaki Palestin telah dibunuh, dicederakan, ditangkap atau dibuang negeri.

Kerajaan British fikir kaedah untuk penyelesaian konflik ini. Kertas Putih 1939 mencipta konflik antara British dan Zionis untuk kali pertama. British gariskan jalan penyelesaian dengan janji pada  Palestin kemerdekaan dalam tempoh 10 tahun, dengan semua pihak  tinggal dan berkongsi negara bersama-sama. British juga mengenakan had yang ketat ke atas orang Yahudi untuk pembelian tanah dan pelepasan imigresen. Zionis merasakan ini satu  pengkhianatan.Sebagai tindak balas, mereka melancarkan perang di seluruh negara, membunuh rakyat Palestin beramai-ramai.

Namun tidak lama kemudian,  semua  terganggu oleh sesuatu yang lebih besar. Lebih daripada 60 juta orang terbunuh dalam Perang Dunia II, termasuk 6 juta orang Yahudi dibunuh di kem kematian Nazi. Orang Yahudi yang terselamat melarikan diri dari Eropah dengan sebilangan besar daripada mereka cuba mencari keselamatan di Palestin, walaupun British menghadkan imigrasi Yahudi. Ini mencetuskan konfrontasi yang lebih langsung antara Zionis dan British. Rakyat Palestin sering menjadi sasaran juga.Dari segi ketenteraan, Yahudi lebih kuat daripada Palestin. Britain juga keletihan akibat Perang Dunia II, maka mereka tidak lagi berdaya untuk terus berjuang di Palestin. Pada tahun 1947, selepas 30 tahun pendudukan, Britain mengumumkan ia akan keluar dari Palestin dan meminta Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu untuk membersihkan masalah yang ditinggalkan.

Semasa pemerintahan British, orang Yahudi telah meningkat dari 10% kepada 30% daripada populasi dan memiliki kira-kira 6% tanah. Di bawah pimpinan Ben-Gurion, Yahudi mempunyai puluhan ribu askar, senjata moden dan pegawai yang telah bertempur dalam Perang Dunia II. Sebaliknya, rakyat Palestin tidak dibenarkan untuk membangunkan pentadbiran atau ketenteraan mereka sendiri. Tetapi ketika mereka menunggu penyelesaian PBB, mereka masih majoriti di seluruh negara.

Pada November 1947, PBB  membahagikan Palestin. Pelan ini memberikan 55% kawasan untuk negara Yahudi. Tetapi PBB tidak  menjelaskan bagaimana ia boleh dilaksanakan apabila separuh penduduk di wilayah tersebut adalah Palestin. Maka tidak mengejutkan rakyat Palestin menolak rancangan PBB. Manakala Ben-Gurion dan kepimpinan Zionis menerima perancangan tersebut dan nampak peluang.  British telah keluar,  Zionis tahu mereka mempunyai tentera terkuat di Palestin. Pasukan mereka merampas lebih banyak wilayahdaripada mereka telah dianugerahkan oleh PBB. Hasrat mereka adalah untuk  mengurangkan jumlah penduduk Palestin. Di bandar-bandar seperti Haifa, militia melancarkan serangan di kawasan kejiranan Palestin. Mereka menyerang kampung dan memaksa penduduk keluar. Tentera Haganah telah menghalau orang Arab keluar dari kota yang terkepung, mengambil banyak banduan selepas mereka dapati  bahagian barat Baitulmaqdis telah dikosongkan oleh rakyat Palestin.

Salah satu peristiwa yang mempercepatkan lagi pendudukan Yahudi ini adalah pada 9 April 1948, apabila perkampugan  Deir Yassin diserang dengan kejam. Laporan kerajaan British merekodkan  250 orang terbunuh dalam keadaan keganasan yang dasyat. Wanita dan kanak-kanak dibogelkan, berbaris, bergambar dan kemudian dibunuh dengan tembakan senjata automatik. Kisah Deir Yassin mencetuskan panik di seluruh negara. Ahli sejarah  mencatat ia sebagai pembunuhan ramai -ramai yang sangat kejam abad ini .

Pada masa Britain menamatkan mandatnya pada 15 Mei 1948, lebih 250,000 rakyat Palestin telah menjadi pelarian. David Ben-Gurion dengan bangga mengumumkan penubuhannya Negara Israel, dengan dirinya sebagai perdana menteri pertama. Angkatan Pertahanan Israel yang baru dibentuk. Banyak tentera dari beberapa negara Arab memasuki juangkan Palestin, tetapi tentera Israel lebih lengkap dan lebih teratur bertempur. Israel menolak kawsasan-kawasan yang PBB telah digariskan kepada negara Palestin, seperti bandar Lydda dan Ramleh. 50,000 orang terpaksa melarikan diri, berjalan kaki. Selepas dikosongkan, bandar-bandar itu diberi nama Ibrani: Lod dan Ramla. Bangunan dan rumah  diambil alih oleh negara Israel yang baru dan diberikan kepada orang Yahudi. Tiga perempat daripada rakyat Palestin telah menjadi pelarian.Dalam bahasa Arab, mereka memanggilnya Nakba maksud secara harfiahnya, malapetaka.

Negara baru Israel membentuk 78% daripada tanah Palestin.Bahagian selebihnya telah diambilalih  oleh Jordan dan Mesir. Setahun kemudian, PBB meluluskan panggilan resolusi untuk semua pelarian Palestin untuk dibenarkan pulang. Namun mereka tidak pernah pulang. Tanah air mereka telah dipadamkan. Sejak itu, percubaan untuk menyelesaikan konflik diulang runding denganmembahagikan tanah. Wilayah  ditawarkan kepada rakyat Palestin semakin mengecut. Sebaliknya, Israel masih mengekalkan kelebihan penduduk yang diperoleh pada tahun 1948 apabila ia memaksa semua orang Palestin keluar. Pada tahun 1967, Yahudi menduduki Tebing Barat dan Gaza, semua rakyat Palestin  tinggal di bawah kuku besi Yahudi.

Hari ini, penduduk Palestin tidak mempunyai hak, tiada kerakyatan dan tiada prospek untuk kemerdekaan. Taktik penempatan zaman Nakba, perobohan rumah dan pengusiran masih digunakan terhadap mereka. Israel telah mengambil tanah Palestin tetapi menjarah rakyat Palestin berjuta-juta di bawah pemerintahannya. Kumpulan hak asasi manusia antarabangsa melabelkan sistem ini adalah satu bentuk apartheid zaman moden yang tiada penghujungnya.

Palestin dijanjikan untuk Yahudi ?

 

Kini wujud golongon muslim zionis. Antara pelopornya  Hadi Palazi dan Al Hussaini dan Noor  Dahri. Mereka dakwa mereka amal ajaran islam sebenar  tpi menyokong hak yahudi utk kembali ke palestin dan tubuh  jewish state. Mereka dakwa Quran dlm surah Maidah (Ayat 21) spt dijelas oleh Ibn kathir dlm tafsirnya menjanjikan yahudi tanah palestin :

(Nabi Musa berkata lagi): "Wahai kaumku, masuklah ke Tanah Suci (Palestin) yang telah diperintahkan oleh Allah untuk kamu (memasukinya); dan janganlah kamu berbalik undur ke belakang, (kalau kamu undur) maka kamu kelak menjadi orang-orang yang rugi (di dunia dan di akhirat)". Al-Maidah 21.

Kontek ayat keseluruhan gagal  dipetik oleh Noor Dahri  dalam dakwaan di atas. Perihal tanah palestin ini dicertiakan di dalam Quran  adalah melalui ayat 20 hingga 26. Cuba ikuti dan memahami ayat- ayat seterusnya :

Mereka menjawab: "Wahai Musa bahawasanya di negeri itu ada kaum yang gagah perkasa, dan sesungguhnya kami tidak akan memasukinya sehingga mereka keluar daripadanya; kemudian jika mereka keluar daripadanya, maka sesungguhnya kami akan masuk (ke negeri itu)". Al-Maidah 22.

Berkatalah dua lelaki di antara orang-orang yang takut (menyalahi perintah tuhan), lagi yang telah diberi nikmat (taufik) oleh Allah kepada keduanya: "Seranglah mereka melalui pintu itu, kerana apabila kamu memasukinya maka sudah tentu kamulah orang-orang yang menang; dan kepada Allah jualah hendaklah kamu berserah (setelah kamu bertindak menyerang), jika benar kamu orang-orang yang beriman" Al-Maidah 23.

Mereka (menolak dengan) berkata: "Wahai Musa, sesungguhnya kami tidak akan memasuki negeri itu selama-lamanya selagi kaum itu masih berada di dalamnya; oleh itu pergilah engkau bersama Tuhanmu dan perangilah mereka. Sebenarnya kami di sinilah duduk menunggu". Al-Maidah 24.

Nabi Musa (merayu kepada Allah), katanya: "Wahai Tuhan! Sesungguhnya aku tidak dapat menguasai selain daripada diriku sendiri dan saudaraku (Harun); oleh itu pisahkanlah antara kami dengan kaum yang fasik itu". Al-Maidah 25.

Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya negeri itu diharamkan kepada mereka memasukinya - selama empat puluh tahun, mereka akan merayau-rayau dengan bingungnya (di sepanjang masa yang tersebut) di padang pasir (Sinai); maka janganlah engkau berdukacita terhadap kaum yang fasik itu". Al-Maidah 26.

Dari ayat-ayat di atas, dapat disimpulkan tiada  dasar Al Quran dakwa bahwa Palestina adalah milik Yahudi secara mutlak. Ayat Al-Maidah [5]: 21 sering dipetik  oleh golongan ini  untuk sokong  hak Yahudi atas Palestina, padahal ayat tersebut jelas papar keengganan dan keengkaran Yahudi ketika itu. Ayat keseluruhan jelas  bersyarat yang menuntut ketaatan dan kesabaran kaum yahudi kepada Allah SWT. Palestina adalah tanah yang diberkahi oleh Allah SWT dan ditujukan untuk kaum yang beriman kepada-Nya.

Namun pada dasar,  tiada isu dan masalah bagi Yahudi untuk menetap di tanah Palestina. Persoalan yang timbul adalah tindakan mereka merampas tanah oleh yang jelas menyalahi norma undang-undang.  Sedangkan sebelum wujud zionis di tanah tersebut, Islam, Kristian dan Yahudi hidup hormani bersama.
