JERUSALEM IN THE QURAN
Summary of Jerusalem in the Qur’an by Imran N. Hosein
Imran N. Hosein’s Jerusalem in the Qur’an explores the religious and geopolitical significance of Jerusalem from an Islamic eschatological perspective. The book argues that the city plays a crucial role in the unfolding events of the Last Age, as prophesied in the Qur’an and Hadith.
Key Themes and Arguments
1. Jerusalem’s Central Role in the Last Age
• The book asserts that Jerusalem is a key focal point in the Islamic eschatological narrative.
• It interprets Quranic verses and prophetic traditions to explain why Jerusalem is significant in the divine plan.
2. The Zionist Plan and the State of Israel
• Hosein claims that the creation of Israel in 1948 was part of a larger Zionist agenda.
• He argues that Zionists misinterpret biblical and Quranic prophecies to justify their claims over Palestine.
• He sees Israel as an instrument of global control leading toward the prophesied end times.
3. The Role of Dajjal (False Messiah) in World Events
• The book identifies Dajjal (the Antichrist) as the mastermind behind the deception leading to Israel’s rise.
• Hosein suggests that Dajjal operates through Western powers and global financial systems.
• He claims that the final confrontation will occur in Jerusalem.
4. Gog and Magog (Yajuj and Majuj)
• The book discusses the role of Gog and Magog in shaping the geopolitical order.
• Hosein interprets their rise as part of a long-term divine test leading to the return of Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him).
5. Islam’s Prophetic Victory Over Zionism
• Hosein argues that Islam will ultimately triumph over Zionism and the false state of Israel.
• He suggests that the return of Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) will lead to the destruction of Israel and the establishment of justice.
Conclusion
Hosein presents a theological and historical perspective on Jerusalem’s role in Islamic prophecy. He argues that current global events, particularly related to Israel, are signs of the approaching Last Age. The book calls for Muslims to understand these signs, resist deception, and prepare for the prophesied changes to come.
