Jerusalem belongs to ..?

Question

We all know that Jeusalem was taken by force from palastinians in 1967 by the jews .. both Mulims (Arabs) and Jews (isralis) claim they have the right in this land.

Jews because they used to live in it thousands of years Ago .. and it's the land of promise

Muslims : because islam is the last religion which belive in all prophets and Jaudism is accepted by islamic state. .. Also because the prophet Muhammad (sas) prayed in Jerusalem as an Imam (leader in islamic prayers) to All prophets inlcluding Moses and Jesus.
In addition .. Jerusalem used to be and arabic land before appearance of Jaudism

So what do you think?

Answer 1

The Palestinians.

Would America accept the annexation, claim for of any of its land taken by someone in 1967?

Answer 2

Access to the Old City was denied to Jews until 1967. That is where the Wailing Wall is. The Old City is a holy place for Jews, Muslims and Christians. Having been there it is mildly patrolled by Israel so that those of all faiths may visit the holy places without any problem. That access was never in place prior to 1967. The Dome of the Rock is very sensitive to both Jews and Muslims but for different reasons.

Ownership or right is not an issue here. The new part of Jerusalem is where the capitol and the location of the center of Israeli government. Jerusalem to day is for the most part an international city as the three major religions have so much history there.

As a side note: Jewish history does not consider Moses as a prophet. Also Moses did not even enter Judea and was never in Jerusalem.

Answer 3

There is a hadith that reports Muhammad one night, riode on a winged horse that drove him from Masjidu’lHaram to Msjidu’l Aqsa (in Jerusalem) and from there to the seventh heaven where he was shown the hell and the paradise and then taken to the presence of Allah. This story that is commonly accepted by All the Muslims and is known as Mi’raj is also confirmed in Quran

Glory to (Allah)
Who did take His Servant for a journey by night,
From the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque.
-- Quran 17:1

Here we are not going to question the absurdity of such trip. Considering that it would take the light (fastest thing in the universe) 8 years to make a round trip to the closest solar system, and 30 billion years to the outskirts of the known universe, and considering that wings don’t serve beyond the atmosphere of the Earth, such trip performed on the back of a horse with wings in one night is just stuff of the fables. If Muhammad could travel from Medina to the presence of Allah, riding on a winged pony, and come back in one night, then Allah’s palace must be not much far from Medina. I wonder how come no one has found it yet? We are not also going to ask whether the gate of the heaven is in Jerusalem? Why Muhammad had to go to Masjidul’ Aqsa in order to go to heaven?

The biggest problem with this story is that the Masjid’ul Aqsa “Farthest Mosque” was built after the death of Muhammad.

When Omar conquered Jerusalem he performed a prayer in the site where Temple of Solomon used to stand. The Romans in 70 A.D destroyed that temple. Since then no temple, church or mosque stood on that spot. It was Calif ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan who built the Dome of the Rock around 691 A.D. i.e 72 years after Hijrah. And Masjidu’l Aqsa was built on the Temple Mount by the end of the 7th century. This is reported in The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, Harper & Row, 1989, p. 46 and 102.

Muhammad’s alleged Mi’raj took place around the year 622. At that time Jerusalem was in the hands of the Christians. There were no Muslims living there and certainly there was no Mosque in Jerusalem. 53 years after the death of Muhammad, Muslims built the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa on the site where Solomon had his temple

This makes one wonder that perhaps, just like the Bible, also Quran was written, manipulated and “enriched” years after its author passed away, permitting the fables that were constructed around Muhammad after his death to crepe into his book. Whoever has been the author of the verse 17:1, was not aware that Masjid ul Aqsa did not exist during the time of Muhammad and he could not have made his trip to heaven from a place that did not exist.

Answer 4

A much larger area than Israel is in possession of now was promised to the Jewish people by God. They were forcibly removed a couple thousand years ago, and the possession of Jerusalem has changed hands many times since then. Israel is the only state that has ever been destroyed and come back into being. What I think is, God made them a promise, and God keeps His promises.

Answer 5

"in addition .. Jerusalem used to be and arabic land before appearance of Jaudism"

"arabic" did not exist thousands of years ago. jews and arabs both actually come from the same ancient group of people (the semites). the jews did take jerusalem from another nation, but it wasn't the arabs, who did not exist.

Answer 6

That's a very hard question. Evidently it belongs to the Jews.

Answer 7

to Jews. of course. PS. no point in raising conflicting political issues and no end discussions where the problem is still dormant. let's satisfy ourselves with the current status quo. end of the answer and end of the discussion.

Answer 8

GOD.....And he said it is the Jews' and anybody who would try to shorten its borders would suffer curses, like that of Gaza and our katrina hurricane.....it has been proven throughout the years, that anyone who blesses abraham's descendents would be blessed and anyone who curses abraham's descendents would be cursed....simple as that......I am blessed 3 fold and more(in almost scary return time because it floods me with blessing that i can't even comprehend rapidly) when I send charity money to orphanages in Israel, it is my plan to send more as my income rises.

Jesus is the King to which all power, honor, and glory is his forever and ever!

Answer 9

The Jebusites first lived there long before the hebrews or israelites....But God claimed it eons ago,(another story for another time).

Answer 10

Jerusalem like everywhere else belongs to God. He will allow who He wants to occupy it.><>
