Jews and Christians

Narrated Anas:
When the news of the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina reached `Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him to ask him about certain things, He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the first food which the people of Paradise will eat? Why does a child attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam said, "He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of the Jews amongst the angels. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal which the people of Paradise will eat, it will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the man's discharge proceeds the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity to the man, and if the woman's discharge proceeds the man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman." On this, `Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that you are the Messenger of Allah." and added, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Jews invent such lies as make one astonished, so please ask them about me before they know about my conversion to I slam . " The Jews came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What kind of man is `Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "The best of us and the son of the best of us and the most superior among us, and the son of the most superior among us. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What would you think if `Abdullah bin Salam should embrace Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his question and they gave the same answer. Then `Abdullah came out to them and said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!" On this, the Jews said, "He is the most wicked among us and the son of the most wicked among us." So they degraded him. On this, he (i.e. `Abdullah bin Salam) said, "It is this that I was afraid of, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). - Sahih:Al Bukhari:3938 (islam)

-Was the Jew a prophet?
- Once the answers was revealed, was every listners a prophet?

Chapter: Fighting against the Jews
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews until some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O `Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'" - Sahih:Al Bukhari:2925 (islam)

-Is it only an eschatological hadith?
- Or do you need to kill Jews to make the last Hour happen?

And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts [so that] a party you killed, and you took captive a party. - Quran:Al-Ahzab 33:26 (islam)

-Why is God condemning Jews, isn't it a human matter?
- Is God who brought down, or is it the believers?

Chapter: The Statement of Allah Ta'ala: "Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad (saws)) as they recognize their own sons ..."
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
The Jews came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "What do you find in the Torah (old Testament) about the legal punishment of Ar-Rajm (stoning)?" They replied, (But) we announce their crime and lash them." `Abdullah bin Salam said, "You are telling a lie; Torah contains the order of Rajm." They brought and opened the Torah and one of them solaced his hand on the Verse of Rajm and read the verses preceding and following it. `Abdullah bin Salam said to him, "Lift your hand." When he lifted his hand, the Verse of Rajm was written there. They said, "Muhammad has told the truth; the Torah has the Verse of Rajm. The Prophet (ﷺ) then gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. (`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I saw the man leaning over the woman to shelter her from the stones." - Sahih:Al Bukhari:3635 (islam)

-Does Stoning came from the Bible and not from the Quran?
- Is it about a tame sheep eating the verses before it was recited?
- Does the Quran perfect and complete?

Chapter: What Has Been Related About Greeting The People Of The Book With Salam
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed when a Jew gives Salam to one of you, then he is only saying: 'As-Samu 'Alaikum' (Death be upon you) so say: "Alaik (And upon you).'" [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. - Sahih:Tirmidhi:1603 (islam)

-Is it applicable today?

Chapter: What the Prophet saws used to give to those Muslims whose faith was not so firm
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
`Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it belonged to Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to leave them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would yield). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish." Thus they stayed till the time of `Umar's Caliphate when he expelled them to Taima and Ariha. - Sahih:Al Bukhari:3152 (islam)

-Is it an example of Jizya?
- Is it about 2.5% like some says?

Allah has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allah is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire. - Quran:Ali 'Imran 3:181 (islam)

-Is it a condamnation of the Jews?
- Is it linked to 2:245 where Mohamed asked money in the name of Allah?

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "May Allah's curse be on the Jews for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." - Sahih:Al Bukhari:437 (islam)

-Is it about shirk?
- Does it mean Muslim need to curse the Jew because of the association problem?
- Does Allah forgive every sin but not the association?

And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness. - Quran:Al-Isra 17:4 (islam)

But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allah? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:43 (islam)

And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised." - Quran:Al-Baqarah 2:65 (islam)

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. - Quran:Al-Baqarah 2:54 (islam)

-Does God really asked Jews to kill other Jews, the calf worshippers?
- Why are we worshipping that kind of God?

And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers. - Quran:Al-Baqarah 2:89 (islam)

-Is God saying the jews received a book who is confirming their scripture?
- Is the Bible corrupted now?
- When this happen?

And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:47 (islam)

-Is Allah talking about the Torah or the Quran?
- Who is the people of the Gospel, are they the same as the people of the Book?
- If Allah judge the Jews and Christians from the Torah, does it mean you can trust the Torah?
- Was the torah supposed to be changed (even though you cannot change the word of God, supposedly)?

So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised." - Quran:Al-A'raf 7:166 (islam)

-Are we apes?
- Is there any insults God forgot to utter?

The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded? - Quran:At-Tawbah 9:30 (islam)

-Is it true that Jews says Jesus is the son of Allah?
- Was it only the Christian?
- Why Would Allah destroy the Jews and the Christians, aren't they people of the book?
- Since the hands of the believers punishes the Disbelievers for Allah (9:14), is it Halal to kill Jews and Christians?
- Who is talking here, Mohamed, Jibril or Allah?
- Why Allah references himself as Allah?

The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. - Quran:Al-Jumu'ah 62:5 (islam)

-Are jew Donkeys or is it valid for Christians too?

Chapter: The best property of a Muslim will be sheep
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not see them except that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a she-camel in front of a rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a sheep is put in front of it, it will drink it." I told this to Ka`b who asked me, "Did you hear it from the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" I said, "Yes." Ka`b asked me the same question several times.; I said to Ka`b. "Do I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from the Prophet.)" - Sahih:Al Bukhari:3305 (islam)

- Is it about the poisonous food a Jew fed to Mohamed?

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord. - Quran:Al-A'raf 7:141 (islam)

-Is it a reference to exodus 12:29, where God killed babies in egypt?

[24]When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
[25]Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. - Bible:NT:Matthew 27:24:25 (bible)

-Is it the unique origin of antisemitism in the Christian world, or the most important one?
- What will happen if Priest and Pastors teach to children that the Jews kill Jesus their God, that Jews are guilty of deicide, the killing of a God?
- How come the teaching changed suddenly in 1965, after the second Vatican Council, Jews were not responsible anymore, but we are, the all-human race?
- Does the catholic church have a hand in the Shoah, even indirectly?

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. - Quran:Ali 'Imran 3:67 (islam)

Chapter: Al-Murtad and Al-Murtaddah
Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) along with two men (from the tribe) of Ash`ariyin, one on my right and the other on my left, while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was brushing his teeth (with a Siwak), and both men asked him for some employment. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O Abu Musa (O `Abdullah bin Qais!).' I said, 'By Him Who sent you with the Truth, these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and I did not feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.' As if I were looking now at his Siwak being drawn to a corner under his lips, and he said, 'We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs anyone who seeks to be employed. But O Abu Musa! (or `Abdullah bin Qais!) Go to Yemen.'" The Prophet then sent Mu`adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu`adh reached him, he spread out a cushion for him and requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion). Behold: There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu`adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu`adh to sit down but Mu`adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.'" - Sahih:Al Bukhari:6923 (islam)

O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers. - Quran:Ali 'Imran 3:100 (islam)

-Is it valid today?

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:51 (islam)

-If you take a Jew as guardian, you will be treated by Allah as a Jew, are you then going to Hell?
- What is a guardian, someone who help you?
- Do you have to refuse help from Jews and Christians?
- If you accept, do you need to curse them in your heart (Tafsir 3:28)?

Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:68 (islam)

-Is the Bible supposed to be modified by the Christians?
- Do those modifications occur before Islam or after Islam?
- If it's before, this verse is nonsensical, if it's after, the bible was already spread everywhere in the known world, how is it logical or possible?

You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. - Quran:Al-Ma'idah 5:82 (islam)

-Is it valid today?
- Do everybody hates the Muslims?

If you [have reason to] fear from a people betrayal, throw [their treaty] back to them, [putting you] on equal terms. Indeed, Allah does not like traitors. - Quran:Al-Anfal 8:58 (islam)

Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. - Quran:At-Tawbah 9:29 (islam)

-Is it only for Mecca, for the 7th century?
- Is it Halal to ask for Jizyah today, like ISIS did not so long ago?
- Does an Islamic state today have to establish Jizyah?
- Do you need to pay in Submission (some reports show dimmihs paying on their knees, being slapped)?
- What if you don't want to pay and don't want to leave?
- Does the fight stop only if you leave, you pay de Jizyah or if you die?

Chapter: Al-Mushrikun should not be asked to give witness
Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utba:
Ibn `Abbas said, "O Muslims? How do you ask the people of the Scriptures, though your Book (i.e. the Qur'an) which was revealed to His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you recite it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you that the people of the scriptures have changed with their own hands what was revealed to them and they have said (as regards their changed Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly benefit thereby." Ibn `Abbas added: "Isn't the knowledge revealed to you sufficient to prevent you from asking them? By Allah I have never seen any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to you." - Sahih:Al Bukhari:2685 (islam)

-Is it the reason why Muslim don't trust the Bible?
- How come in the Bible it is written "If a man lie with a man kill them both", but not in the Quran, Did The jews added this for their worldly benefit?
- Why do we found this sentence in the hadith from Mohamed himself?
- Which book was modified?

Chapter: What Has Been Related About Greeting The People Of The Book With Salam
Narrated Abu Hurairah:
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not precede the Jews and the Christians with the Salam. And if one you meets one of them in the path, then force him to its narrow portion." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Anas, and Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari the Companion of the Prophet (ﷺ). [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. And regarding the meaning of this Hadith: "Do not precede the Jews and the Christians": Some of the poeple of knowledge said that it only means that it is disliked because it would be honoring them, and the Muslims were ordered to humiliate them. For this reason, when one of them is met on the path, then the path is not yielded for him, because doing so would amount to honoring them. - Sahih:Tirmidhi:1602 (islam)

-Is it like the nazies in "the pianist" for instance?

Chapter: Do not initiate the salam with dhimmis

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not give the People of the Book the greeting first. Force them to the narrowest part of the road." - Sahih:Adab:1103 (islam)

-How come the nazis treat the jews like that?
- Is it valid today?

Chapter: The Acceptance Of The Repentance Of The One Who Kills, Even If He Has Killed A Great Deal
Abu Burda reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians. (As far as I think), Abu Raub said: I do not know as to who is in doubt. Abu Burda said: I narrated it to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, whereupon he said: Was it your father who narrated it to you from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ)? I said: Yes. - Sahih:Muslim:2767d (islam)

-If there is sufficient jews and christians, how many muslim would be in Hell?

And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. - Quran:An-Nisa 4:157 (islam)

-Is it because he was a prophet?
- What about Mohamed, wasn't he poisoned to death by a Jew (Bukhari 5-59-551)?
- Is Jesus a better Prophet than Mohamed in the eye of God?
- Why would Jesus return at the end of time and not Mohamed?
