Q & A

What is the difference between the terms 'Jewish' and 'Bani Israel'?

The terms 'Jewish' and 'Bani Israel' are often mistakenly used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. 'Bani Israel' refers to the descendants of Prophet Ya'qub (Jacob) and includes the 12 tribes of Israel. 'Jewish,' however, refers specifically to the descendants of the two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, who survived after the fall of the Kingdom of Israel.

Who was Prophet Ibrahim and what was his role in the story of Bani Israel?

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is considered the patriarch of Bani Israel. Around 4,000 years ago, he settled in Palestine, then known as Canaan. His two sons, Ismail and Isaac, were promised by Allah to lead great nations. Isaac's son, Ya'qub (Jacob), is also known as Israel, and his 12 sons became the founders of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Why did Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) become significant in the history of Bani Israel?

Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and ended up in Egypt, where he rose to the position of grand vizier. During a famine, he invited his family to Egypt, where the 12 tribes of Bani Israel settled and prospered in various fields such as trade, agriculture, and business.

How did Bani Israel end up in slavery in Egypt?

Although Bani Israel flourished in Egypt, their increasing strength and prosperity caused fear among the Pharaoh and his people. Over time, the Pharaoh enslaved the Israelites, which lasted for 400 years until the time of Prophet Musa (Moses), who led them to freedom.

What role did Prophet Musa (Moses) play in the history of Bani Israel?

Prophet Musa (Moses) was chosen by Allah to lead Bani Israel out of slavery in Egypt. He guided them to the promised land, Palestine, after confronting Pharaoh and performing numerous miracles. However, his leadership also highlighted the reluctance of the Israelites to fight for their freedom, which resulted in a 40-year wandering in the desert.

What was the significance of the 40 years spent in the desert by Bani Israel?

The 40 years spent in the desert were a period of purification for Bani Israel. The older generation, who had been raised under Pharaoh’s oppression and had a slave mentality, perished during this time. The new generation, free from the mental and physical scars of slavery, emerged and eventually conquered Palestine.

What led to the division of the Kingdom of Israel after Prophet Sulayman (Solomon)?

After the death of Prophet Sulayman (Solomon), his kingdom was divided due to internal conflicts. The ten northern tribes formed the Kingdom of Israel, while the two southern tribes, Judah and Benjamin, formed the Kingdom of Judah. This division weakened the Israelites and made them vulnerable to foreign invasions.

What happened to the ten northern tribes of Israel?

The ten northern tribes, forming the Kingdom of Israel, were conquered by the Assyrians and exiled. These tribes were lost to history, with their descendants scattered across various regions. Only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin survived in the region, and these became known as the Jews.

Why are only two tribes considered Jewish today?

Today, 'Jewish' refers to the descendants of the two tribes—Judah and Benjamin—who survived after the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel. The ten northern tribes were lost after their exile by the Assyrians, and thus only the people from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin are recognized as Jews.

What is the significance of the Temple in Jerusalem in Jewish tradition?

The Temple in Jerusalem, initially built by Prophet Sulayman (Solomon), holds immense significance in Jewish tradition. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times, with the most famous destruction occurring at the hands of the Romans. Jews believe that the Messiah will one day return, rebuild the Temple, and reunite all of Bani Israel, including the lost ten tribes.

What is the role of the lost ten tribes in modern Jewish belief?

Modern Jewish belief holds that the ten lost tribes of Israel, who were exiled by the Assyrians, will one day be reunited with the Jews of Judah and Benjamin. This event is believed to coincide with the coming of the Messiah, who will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and restore the Kingdom of Israel to its former glory.
