Who are “The People of The Book”?
The term The People of The Book in brief refer to the Christians and the Jews who
were recipients of the “heavenly religions” respectively.
There is little doubt that these faiths had been altered and have deviated from their
original course, and by doing so were no longer within the guidance that God
Almighty had chosen for human kind.
What ties the Christians to the Jews and what are the
between the two?
Before looking furthers one must note that the Christians and the Jews are in
opposition of one another and have severe enmity between them and so unifying
them is impossible.
One of the main causes for these irreconcilable differences is their differing creeds,
as the Christians believe in the divinity of Christ and say that he is one of three in the
trinity, claiming that he was crucified and killed on the cross at the hands of the
Jews, he was then resurrected from the dead and raised to heaven.
On the contrary the Jews in turn completely deny the prophet-hood of Jesus
claiming that he was illegitimately born out of wedlock, and are condescending of
his mother.
The points of contention between the two are numerous but the point indicated
above is sufficient to show that brining together these two faiths is an impossible
task.
Despite the efforts of the world media to show Christianity and Judaism in a good
light as partners of one another and with a mutual agreement between the two, the
truth could not be further away, and this is only a veneer that they both are content
with in order to demonise and attack Islam, which is a commonality between the
two.
The truth behind the façade is the following:
The Jews are convinced that if they rebuild the structure of Solomon then their
Saviour will emerge and he is the Messiah Dajjal (the anti-Christ) as is foretold in
their scripture.
And in that fact is a testimony to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who said; “ the
Dajjal (anti-Christ) with be followed by 70,000 of the Jews of Asa>haan who will be
wearing the Tayaalisah” or clothes of their religious men”
