And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms-tax.” But you ˹Israelites˺ turned away—except for a few of you—and were indifferent.

In ayat 85, Allah سبحانه وتعالى says – Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest. This is referring to which action of the Jews? Choose any two options.

• Killing their own brethren ( which was against the Tawrat )

• Ransoming the prisoners ( according to the Tawrat)

• Staying neutral in war

• Not cooperating with the disbelievers

Answer explanation

Allah criticized the Jews who lived in Al-Madinah during the time of the Messenger of Allah. There were three Jewish tribes in Al-Madinah at that time, Banu Qaynuqa` and Banu An-Nadir, the allies of the Khazraj, and Banu Qurayzah, who used to be the allies of the Aws. When war erupted between Aws and Khazraj, their Jewish allies would assist them. The Jew would kill his Arab enemy, and sometimes they also killed Jews who were the allies of the other Arab tribe, although the Jews were prohibited from killing each other according to clear religious texts in their Books. They would also drive each other from their homes and loot whatever furniture and money they could. When the war ended, the victorious Jews would release the prisoners from the defeated party, according to the rulings of the Tawrah.

Those are the ones who have bought the life of this (a)   [in exchange] for the hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be aided.

• They grew arrogant and denied him.

• They resisted temptation and followed him.

• They killed some of them.

• They left him to preach as he pleased.

Answer explanation

Indeed, We gave Moses the Book and sent after him successive messengers. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit.

Why is it that every time a messenger comes to you (Israelites) with something you do not like, you become arrogant, rejecting some and killing others?

2: 87

Allah سبحانه وتعالى supported Isa عليه السلام with

• his friend

• Ruhul Qudus - The Holy Spirit

• Mikaeel عليه السلام

• Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Answer explanation

“And We gave ‘Eesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him with Rooh-ul-Qudus [Jibreel (Gabriel)]

[al-Baqarah 2:87]

This is not limited only to the Messiah; others were also supported in this way. (The scholars) mentioned that Dawood said, “Do not stop supporting me with Rooh al-Qudus.” And our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Hassaan ibn Thaabit, “O Allaah, support him with Rooh al-Qudus.” According to another report: “Rooh al-Qudus will be with you so long as you are defending His Prophet.” Both versions are narrated in al-Saheeh.

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“May Allaah curse the Jews, for they have taken the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.”

“May Allaah curse the Jews: fat was forbidden for them, but they melted it down and sold it,”

These two hadeeths are both narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.

• A final messenger

• Earthquake to shake the enemies

Answer explanation

The Jews used to say to the polytheists, "A Prophet shall be sent just before the end of this world and we, along with him, shall exterminate you, just as the nations of `Ad and Iram were exterminated.''

Ibn `Abbas said, "The Jews used to invoke Allah (for the coming of Muhammad) in order to gain victory over the Aws and Khazraj, before the Prophet was sent. Hence, Mu`adh bin Jabal and Bishr bin Al-Bara' bin Ma`rur, from Bani Salamah, said to them, `O Jews! Fear Allah and embrace Islam. You used to invoke Allah for the coming of Muhammad when we were still disbelievers and you used to tell us that he would come and describe him to us,' Salam bin Mushkim from Bani An-Nadir replied, `He did not bring anything that we recognize. He is not the Prophet we told you about.'

What was the main reason for the Jews to reject Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ even though they identified him?
