JUDAISM — THE TAURAH — TALMUD
The Îsâwî (Nazarene) religion is a continuation of the Sharî’at
of Mûsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’. It will therefore be useful to give some
information about Jews and their Holy Book. First, we shall
present a brief history of Judaism:
Ibrâhîm ‘alaihis-salâm’ is one of those Prophets who are called
Ulul-azm. He was neither a Jew, nor a Christian. He was a true
Muslim. Ibrâhîm ‘alaihis-salâm’ is the forefather of the Israelites,
that is, Jews, and of the Arabs. He is at the same time one of the
grandfathers of Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’.
The capital of Chaldea was Babylon. Their kings were called
Nemrûd (Nimrod). At that time Chaldeans worshipped the moon,
the sun and stars. They had made various idols to represent these
celestial beings. Nimrods, too, were among these idols. Allâhu
ta’âlâ sent forth Ibrâhîm ‘alaihis-salâm’ as a Prophet to them. Yet
they would not have îmân. They wanted to burn that blessed
Prophet in a fire, but Allâhu ta’âlâ made the fire salvation for him.
This fire, which they made after piling up wood for many days,
became a verdure for him. Although they saw this miracle, most
of them would still not have îmân. Ibrâhîm ‘alaihis-salâm’ went to
Egypt. Then, commanded by Allâhu ta’âlâ, he returned to
Palestine. After Ibrâhîm’s ‘alaihis-salâm’ death, his son, Is-haq
(Isaac) ‘alaihis-salâm’, became the Prophet, and after Is-haq
‘alaihis-salâm’ prophethood was granted to his son, Ya’qûb
(Jacob) ‘alaihis-salâm’. Another name of Ya’qûb ‘alaihis-salâm’
was Isrâîl (Israel). Therefore, people descending from the twelve
sons of Ya’qûb ‘alaihis-salâm’ are called (Benî Isrâîl), which
means ‘the sons of Isrâîl’, (or Iraelites). Yûsuf (Joseph) ‘alaihissalâm’,
one of Ya’qûb’s ‘alaihis-salâm’ sons, was envied by his
brothers. They threw him into a well and lied to Ya’qûb ‘alaihissalâm’,
saying that he was dead. Then he was saved by some
travellers going by the well. They took him out of the well, took
him along to Egypt, and sold him as a slave there. His purchaser
was Azîz (Potiphar), Egypt’s Minister of the Exchequer. He took
Yûsuf ‘alaihis-salâm’ to his home. His wife, Zelîha, fell in love
