Forthcoming: A MODERN QUR’ANIC KAMPF AGAINST THE JEWS
First full translation of, “The Children of Israel in the Qur’an & Traditions”
Written by late (d. 2010) Al-Azhar University Grand Imam, & Sunni Islam’s Pre-eminent Modern Qur’anic Commentator, Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi.
The crux of his mainstream, authoritative, highly influential views:
“The reader of the Noble Qur’an will clearly see that it has depicted many of the inappropriate conducts, despicable manners and cunning and crooked behaviors that the Children of Israel indulged in. It has branded them with disbelief, ingratitude, egotism, cowardice, deceit, rebellion, transgression, cruelty, deviance, hastening to transgression and aggression, unjustly consuming people’s wealth, and many more of the vices that are recorded in the Noble Qur’an. They therefore earned Allah’s displeasure, were stripped of Allah’s mercy and compassion, and they were stricken with disgrace and misery. These vices that the Noble Qur’an recorded can be clearly seen anywhere and throughout the ages. The passage of time has only made these vices more ingrained and rooted in them.”
