Bliss of Heaven and save you from any humiliation which you may have brought on yourselves by your conduct and<br />

on the revered Prophet and Teacher whose name you professed to take. (66.8)<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 2653 Narrated by<br />

Jabir ibn Atik<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is jealousy which Allah loves and jealousy which Allah hates. That which Allah<br />

loves is jealousy regarding a matter of doubt, and that which Allah hates is jealousy regarding something which is not<br />

doubtful. There is pride which Allah hates and pride which Allah loves. That which Allah loves is a man's pride when fighting<br />

and when giving sadaqah and that which Allah hates is pride shown by oppression. The narrator Musa said: "by boasting."<br />

JESUS: See Under “Prophets”<br />

JEWS:<br />

2:44 - The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon"; and the Christians say: "The<br />

Jews have naught (to stand) upon." Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto<br />

their word is what those say who know not but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel<br />

on the Day of Judgment. 116<br />

116 It is a sure sign of ignorance and prejudice when you study the same book as another or a similar one and yet are<br />

absolutely intolerant of the meaning which the other draws from it. You should know better, but you speak like the<br />

ignorant. In this case the primary reference in the word "ignorant" may be to the Pagan Arabs. (2.113)<br />

2:135 -They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou: "Nay!<br />

(I would rather) the religion of Abraham the true and he joined not gods with Allah." 134<br />

2:140 - Or do ye say that Abraham Isma`il Isaac Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians?<br />

Say: Do ye know better than Allah? Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the<br />

testimony they have from Allah? But Allah is not unmindful of what ye do! 138<br />

138 The alternative is with the question in the last verse. Do you dispute with us although we worship the same God as<br />

you and claim that ours is the same religion as that of your ancestors? Or do you really assert that Abraham and his<br />

son and his sons' sons, who founded the Tribes long before Moses, followed your Jewish religion as you know it?<br />

History of course proves that claim absurd. If the Christians claim that these Patriarchs knew of and followed the<br />

teaching of Jesus, the claim is still more absurd, - except in the sense of Islam that God's teaching is one in all ages.<br />

(2.140)<br />

4:46 - Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places and say: "We hear<br />

and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not heard": and "Ra`ina"; with a twist of their tongues and<br />

a slander to faith. If only they had said: "We hear and we obey"; and "Do hear"; and "Do look<br />

at us": it would have been better for them and more proper; but Allah hath cursed them for<br />

their unbelief; and but few of them will believe. 565566<br />

565 See ii. 93, n. 98. A trick of the Jews was to twist words and expressions, so as to ridicule the most solemn teachings<br />

of Faith. Where they should have said, "We hear and we obey," they said aloud, "We hear," and whispered, "We<br />

disobey." Where they should have said respectfully, "We hear," they added in a whisper, "May you not hear," by way<br />

of ridicule. Where they claimed the attention of the Prophet, they used an ambiguous word apparently harmless, but in<br />

their intention disrespectful. (4.46)<br />

566 See ii. 104, n. 106. "Raina" if used respectfully in the Arabic way, would have meant "Please attend to us." With a<br />

twist of their tongue, they suggested an insulting meaning, such as "O thou that takest us to pasture!" or in Hebrew,<br />

"Our bad one!" (4.46)<br />

4:160 - For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome<br />

which had been lawful for them; in that they hindered many from Allah's way. 667<br />

667 Cf. vi. 146. The ceremonial law of the Jews forbade the eating of the flesh of the camel, rabbit and hare (Leviticus xi.<br />

4-6), and the fat of oxen, sheep, and goats (Leviticus vii. 23), and was in other respects very strict. (4.160)<br />

5:41- O Apostle! let not those grieve thee who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among<br />

those who say: "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the<br />

Jews men who will listen to any lie will listen even to others who have never so much as come<br />

to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places; they say "If ye are given<br />

this take it but if not beware:" If anyone's trial is intended by Allah thou hast no authority in the<br />
