Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My master, regarding the topic of the Children of Israel and the promise of the Hereafter, the verse at the end of Surat al-Isra: [Al-Isra 17:104] Do you understand it as…? ..
The Shaykh : It has passed, it has passed.
The questioner : This one at the end of the surah has also passed.
The Shaykh : … that it is applied to the current situation.
The questioner : I am not talking about[Al-Isra 17:7] I am talking about the end of the surah, there is a verse: [Al-Isra 17:104] ?
The Shaykh : To whom is the address?
The questioner : To the Children of Israel.
The Shaykh : Do you remember what comes before it, at the end of the surah? I do not think the Jews are mentioned.
The questioner : Well, let us look at the verse, but the interpretation that says the Jews in the end times will be brought and gathered in the land of Palestine and then fought— is this an Islamic concept in this form?
The Shaykh : The issue of the Jews being gathered, we do not have that. But that the Jews will be fought by the Muslims in Palestine, that is true, there is no problem with it. But the Jews whom the Muslims will fight are not the Jews who exist now. Those will come with the Dajjal, and the Jews will be from the Jews of Isfahan. And Isa, when the Dajjal comes, will be besieged in Jerusalem. Let us look, let us find the verse.
The questioner :[Al-Isra 17:103-105] .
The Shaykh : No, I am looking for this phrase or that one. The truth is, I do not have at this moment a recollection of what the exegetes said regarding this verse. But if it is permissible for me to say something before reviewing, I think that this verse, although the address is directly to the Jews, the intended meaning is the means of humans who have died and been buried, and Allah the Exalted will gather them, and some of them will be turned over to each other in the gathering.
The questioner : A possible interpretation, I mean.
Al-Halabi : Now, our Shaykh, regarding this verse, all the preachers and those who write articles in the newspapers apply it to the Soviet migration of the Jews of the Soviets.
and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."
فإذا جاء وعد الآخرة جئنا بكم لفيفاThe Shaykh : It has passed, it has passed.
The questioner : This one at the end of the surah has also passed.
The Shaykh : … that it is applied to the current situation.
The questioner : I am not talking about
Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces
فَإِذا جاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُا وُجُوهَكُمْand when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

The questioner :
(103) So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together. (104) And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering." (105) And with the truth We have sent the Qur'an down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
فَأَرادَ أَنْ يَسْتَفِزَّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَأَغْرَقْناهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ جَمِيعاً * وَقُلْنا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ اسْكُنُوا الْأَرْضَ فَإِذا جاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ جِئْنا بِكُمْ لَفِيفاً * وَبِالْحَقِّ أَنْزَلْناهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ وَما أَرْسَلْناكَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّراً وَنَذِيراًThe Shaykh : No, I am looking for this phrase or that one.
