In the Qur’an Allah has cursed the Jews not because they are Jewish but because of the bad actions of the Jews. Allah cursed Firaun (Pharaoh) the kings of ancient Egypt, not because they were Firaun but because of their bad actions. Allah has no relationship with any men or race but with their actions. It is wrong and absurd to believe when Allah has cursed the Jews then the Muslims should do the same. Allah has not cursed the Jews because they are Jewish but their bad actions that happened during the particular time as stated in the Qur’an.
Currently most Muslims hate the Jews because of their race. Muslims should hate the bad actions of the Jews not the Jewish people. Indeed, Muslims should also hate the bad actions of the Muslims not the Muslims itself. When we hate the Jews because of their race then we are racist which is prohibited in Islam
Allah ordered us to hate wrong or bad actions and we do it because it is the order of Allah. Similarly, Allah ordered us to love good actions and we do it because it is the order of Allah. As a Muslim we must love and hate according to the order of Allah. Allah has ordered us to love good actions and to hate bad actions. Allah not ordered us to hate the Jews but He ordered us to hate the bad actions of the Jews. Allah has cursed not only the Jews but others who do wrong actions. Some Muslims are trying to justify their action of cursing the Jews by saying that it is the teaching of Islam. Due to the misunderstanding of the Quran most Muslims believe that they can curse the Jews because Allah had cursed the Jews in the Quran. The fact is Allah has cursed the Jews in the Qur’an because of the Jews wrong doings and not because they are Jewish. (more…)
