❖ Will Israel Take Over the Entire Arab World? An Analytical Response in Light of the Qur'an and Hadith ❖
✍ Written by: Qari Usamah bin Abdussalaam
The claim that “Israel or the Jews will take control of the entire Arab world” is not supported by the Qur’an or any authentic Hadith.
In fact, the overall message of Qur’an and Sunnah indicates the opposite:
Surah al-Isrā’ (Banī Isrā’īl):
﴿وَيَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا، وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ • لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ، وَلَئِنْ قُوتِلُوا لَا يَنْصُرُونَهُمْ﴾
(Al-Qur’an 59:11–12)
Translation:
The Jews say: “If you are expelled, we will surely go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you.” But Allah bears witness that they are liars. If they are expelled, they will not go out with them, and if they are fought, they will not help them.
These verses expose the cowardice and deceit of the Jews during the time of the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah.
Surah Āl ʿImrān:
﴿لَنْ يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّا أَذًى ۖ وَإِنْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ﴾
(Al-Qur’an 3:111)
Translation:
They can never harm you except with a little annoyance; and if they fight you, they will turn their backs and flee. Then they shall not be helped.
The Qur’an clearly states: Their power is temporary, and true dominance belongs to the believers.
There is no authentic Hadith stating that:
“The Jews will conquer the entire Arab world.”
Rather, the Prophet ﷺ said:
«لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ»
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1920)
Translation:
There will always remain a group from my Ummah manifestly upon the truth. Those who oppose them will not harm them until the command of Allah (i.e., the Day of Judgement) comes.
If the entire Arab world were to be conquered by the Jews, then where would this group of the Ummah survive? This hadith refutes that assumption.
The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the trials of Dajjāl, yet he never said Israel would take over the entire Arab world.
In fact, certain Arab lands will remain protected from Dajjāl:
«إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ وَلَا الْمَدِينَةَ»
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1881)
Translation:
Dajjāl will not enter Makkah or Madinah.
If even Dajjāl cannot conquer Makkah and Madinah, how can Israel take over the entire Arab region?
Surah an-Nūr:
﴿وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ، لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ…﴾
(Al-Qur’an 24:55)
Translation:
Allah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession in the land...
This divine promise is for the continuation of the Ummah — the concept of a global Jewish domination is inconsistent with the Qur’anic narrative.
If someone like Dr. Israr Ahmad has expressed such a view:
— It should be regarded as a personal or political analysis,
— But it is incorrect to attribute such claims to the Qur’an or authentic Hadith.
If anyone claims such a thing with reference to Qur’an or Hadith, they must present a clear, marfūʿ (attributed to the Prophet) narration — which does not exist on this subject.
The idea that “Israel or the Jews will take over the entire Arab world”:
Is not proven from the Qur’an or Hadith
Contradicts the promises made to the Muslim Ummah
Spreads despair, fear, and hopelessness among Muslims
Whereas the Qur’an declares:
﴿وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ﴾
(Āl ʿImrān 3:139)
Translation:
So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.

Crushing Response Based on Qur'an and Hadith
The claim that “Israel or the Jews will take control of the entire Arab world” is not supported by the Qur’an or any authentic Hadith.In fact, the overall message of Qur’an and Sunnah indicates the opposite:
1. Jewish Conspiracies Are Temporary — Their Dominance Is Not Eternal
Surah al-Isrā’ (Banī Isrā’īl):﴿وَيَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا، وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ • لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ، وَلَئِنْ قُوتِلُوا لَا يَنْصُرُونَهُمْ﴾
(Al-Qur’an 59:11–12)
Translation:
The Jews say: “If you are expelled, we will surely go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you.” But Allah bears witness that they are liars. If they are expelled, they will not go out with them, and if they are fought, they will not help them.
These verses expose the cowardice and deceit of the Jews during the time of the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah. 2. Enemies of Islam Will Always Be in Regret
Surah Āl ʿImrān:﴿لَنْ يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّا أَذًى ۖ وَإِنْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ﴾
(Al-Qur’an 3:111)
Translation:
They can never harm you except with a little annoyance; and if they fight you, they will turn their backs and flee. Then they shall not be helped.
The Qur’an clearly states: Their power is temporary, and true dominance belongs to the believers. 3. The Prophet ﷺ Rejected the Idea of Jewish Domination over the Arab World
There is no authentic Hadith stating that:
“The Jews will conquer the entire Arab world.”
Rather, the Prophet ﷺ said:
«لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ»
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1920)
Translation:
There will always remain a group from my Ummah manifestly upon the truth. Those who oppose them will not harm them until the command of Allah (i.e., the Day of Judgement) comes.
If the entire Arab world were to be conquered by the Jews, then where would this group of the Ummah survive? This hadith refutes that assumption. 4. Dajjāl’s Fitnah and the Arab Lands
The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the trials of Dajjāl, yet he never said Israel would take over the entire Arab world.
In fact, certain Arab lands will remain protected from Dajjāl:
«إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ وَلَا الْمَدِينَةَ»
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1881)
Translation:
Dajjāl will not enter Makkah or Madinah.
If even Dajjāl cannot conquer Makkah and Madinah, how can Israel take over the entire Arab region? 5. Allah Has Promised Supremacy to the Ummah of Muḥammad ﷺ
Surah an-Nūr:﴿وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ، لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ…﴾
(Al-Qur’an 24:55)
Translation:
Allah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession in the land...
This divine promise is for the continuation of the Ummah — the concept of a global Jewish domination is inconsistent with the Qur’anic narrative.
Clarification on Political Opinions
If someone like Dr. Israr Ahmad has expressed such a view:
— It should be regarded as a personal or political analysis,
— But it is incorrect to attribute such claims to the Qur’an or authentic Hadith.
If anyone claims such a thing with reference to Qur’an or Hadith, they must present a clear, marfūʿ (attributed to the Prophet) narration — which does not exist on this subject.
Conclusion:
The idea that “Israel or the Jews will take over the entire Arab world”:
Is not proven from the Qur’an or Hadith Contradicts the promises made to the Muslim Ummah Spreads despair, fear, and hopelessness among MuslimsWhereas the Qur’an declares:
﴿وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ﴾
