If Islam acknowledges that Moses existed, why does it not accept that Jews are God's chosen people?

Question

Coz the very purpose of Moses' existence was to bring the Jews into the "promised land". So, why keep that from them?

Answer 1

Because their holy script was corrupted. Moses existed and was right, but later during the centuries the scriptures were changed according to political and other stuff.

Answer 2

Islam acknowledges that Moses existed, as well as Jesus and other profets shared by the 3 religions. That doesn't mean one people is to be the choosen one.

The very purpose of Moses to bring Jews to the "promised land" has got to do with the politician face of Moses, not with religion. We can't accept that a religion has the final purpose of giving land to one particular people by taking it from another. That is the kind of actions and purposes of politicians. The promised land has nothing to do with religion, rather with international interests on internacional comercial paths, oil, geostrategic, etc.

Answer 3

Jews are the chosen people during Moses times Not forever. and because they were the first race (from the children of Abraham) to believe in God, God sent them many prophets.

however when God sent Islam, God let Islam take over. there is that famous mosque in Jerusalem consider to be very important site for Muslims after Macca (the hanging rock), which believed that Muhammad prayed with the prophets in that place.

Answer 4

One tenet of Islam is that prophets have come to all populations of people, but that the prophecies may have been altered until the prophecy bestowed to Muhammad, which is believed by muslims to be unaltered. For this reason muslims may respect that Moses was a prophet and that the Jews were chosen to be the people he would reveal his message to, but that the Jews were no more a "Chosen People" than that of the arabs for which Muhammad revealed his message to.

Answer 5

Because they see Moses as a prophet, but not as much a prophet as mohammed.. Mohammed is the religions highest prophet, such as Jesus is for christianity. Also the torah, and the bible, have been translated and retranslated, whereas the Koran was written, and is still written, in arabic.

And point to consider about comments about "arabs"... While almost all Arabics are Muslim, Arabics only make up a small percentage of muslims. (Less than like ten percent if i remember correctly...) So it has nothing to do with ethnicity.

Answer 6

It is in the Qur'an that we find the most accurate account of “Exodus", the title of the second book of the Toraht, because the Torah underwent much textual corruption after it was originally revealed to Moses. An important proof of this is that in the five books of the Torah—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy—there are many contradictions. The fact that the book of Deuteronomy ends with an account of the death and burial of Moses is indisputable proof that this portion would have to have been added after Moses' death.

Hear are the facts about the jews of today(I call them Jews to you, because they are known as Jews. I don't call them Jews myself.
I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they are.) The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were originally Khazars. They were a warlike tribe who lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe. They set up a large Khazar kingdom of 800,000 square miles. At the time, Russia did not exist, nor did many other European countries. The Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were.

They were phallic worshippers, which is filthy and I do not want to go into the details of that now.

But that was their religion, as it was also the religion of many other pagans and barbarians elsewhere in the world. The Khazar king became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to adopt a so-called monotheistic faith -- either Christianity, Islam, or what is known today as Judaism, which is really Talmudism. By spinning a top, and calling out “eeny, meeny, miney, moe,” he picked out so-called Judaism. And that became the state religion. He sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura and brought up thousands of rabbis, and opened up synagogues and schools, and his people became what we call Jews. There wasn't one of them who had an ancestor who ever put a toe in the Holy Land.

Answer 7

Jews were the chosen people until they broke the covenant they had made with him. As such, they did not live to see the promised land, only their children did and moses was only allowed to see it from afar. Therefore, the children of israel are no longer the chosen.

Answer 8

It's not that, its just that they do acknowledge Moses existed .. but as a human, not gods chosen man. The only prophet they believed that was with god was Mohammad. They even acknowledge Jesus, but just as a man .. not a son of god.

Answer 9

Well maybe because the Arabs fought for that land and got it from them and lived there almost 3000 years...If God wanted the Jews he could have done something before the Muslims started feeling at home.

Answer 10

no, u r wrong aaron, in Islam, moses is a prophet, and so jesus (in Quraan, the name is Isa), but both of them is not just an ordinary people, they're a prophet, & Mohammad is the last prophet that bring humankind to goodness, that's why Islam appear, the one and only truth religion on earth
