The Persians & The Romans

history repeating, as promised?  


Screenshot from quran.com/17/8


excerpt from The Quran on the Bani Israel

Every time the Jews have kindled the fire of war, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ has extinguished it. And they strive to corrupt the Earth, but Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ does not love the corrupters (Q5:64). 

The Rejectors / Disbelievers (kafirs) among the Bani Israel were cursed by the tongues of David (Dawood عليه السلام) and Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) because they were disobedient and habitual transgressors (Q5:78). 

It was foretold that the Bani Israel will cause corruption in the Earth twice, and become haughty. Both times, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ punished them severely with destruction and exile (Q17:4). 

In the first punishment, the servants of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ , people of great military might, entered their homes... (Q17:5) 

In the second punishment, their faces were saddened, and their Masjid was destroyed with complete destruction (Q17:7).  

They have been warned that if they repeat / return, 'We' will repeat / return (Q17:8). 

Surah Bani Israel also informs us that when the promise of the Hereafter comes, they will be collected together, and brought forth in a single gathering (Q17:104). 

So, if we are living in end times, the State of Israel is but a means to collect the Bani Israel from all over the world in a single gathering. 

If we are not living in the end-times, then they have been warned that if they repeat / return to their corruption and haughtiness, 'We' will repeat / return. 

First the Babylonians were sent against them; then the Romans. 

 

The Babylonians were replaced by the Persians and the Medes (ref: Book of Daniel). 

Now, we see Israel at war with Iran, a war Israel and USA initiated themselves against Iran. 

They are suffering at the hands of the Persians (Iran). 

Iran is to the East of Israel.  

Perhaps, ...

We also have a prophecy, attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , about the Romans (Bani alAsfar) alliance (secure peace treaty) with you (Arabs / Muslims), and fighting a common enemy. Does the common enemy mean Israel? 

...

'al Asfar' means 'the Yellow'. 

According to some scholars, the Turks are of 'yellow' descent. 

The Byzantine Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire was centred on Constantinople, present day Turkey. 

Turkey is to the North of Israel. 

But present-day Turkey is Muslim. 

The Bani alAsfar/Romans will be People of the Cross. 

Will the second beating of Israel be from the North West (Byzantine (Turkey) || Rome (Italy))?

Some relevant Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad 


حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ سَتُقَاتِلُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُقَاتِلُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُقَاتِلُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَمَا يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ الرُّومُ ‏.‏


It was narrated from Jabir bin Samurah, that Nafi' bin 'Utbah bin Abu Waqqas narrated that the Prophet () said: "You will fight the Arabian Peninsula and victory will be granted by Allah. Then you will fight the Romans and victory will be granted (by Allah). Then you will fight Dajjal and victory will be granted (by Allah)." Jabir said: "Dajjal will not appear until you have fought the Romans."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ بُسْرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، وَهْوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ، مَوْتِي، ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ مُوتَانٌ يَأْخُذُ فِيكُمْ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ، ثُمَّ اسْتِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ سَاخِطًا، ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ لاَ يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلاَّ دَخَلَتْهُ، ثُمَّ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ، فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً، تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا ‏"‏‏.‏


Narrated `Auf bin Mali: I went to the Prophet () during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said, "Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers.
