The talk in previous verses were about spending and money which was indicated as close to feeding, and here is a response to the Israelites who were trying to disrupt the Quran. Who is Israel?

Israel is the prophet (Jacob), is Isaac’s son, and Isaac is the brother of Ishmael, and both of them are Ibrahim’s (Abraham) sons (PBUT).

All prophets came from Isaac’s offspring until Isa (Jesus), (PBUH), except the Prophet Muhammad (saws) came from Ismael’s son, peace be upon him.

The Zionists called their supposedly insidious state (Israel), and the word of Israel means: Abdullah al-Mukhtar (the chosen one), or Abdullah al-Mustafa, and he is Jacob (PBUH), they used the religious name of a prophet to do all their crimes and disgraceful acts. Same as what the terrorists and extremists did when used the name of Islam and committed crimes under its guise, the racist state (Israel) used the name of Jacob in order to commit the most heinous crimes; it occupied the Arab territories, and the people of Palestine were displaced from their land. the Prophet Israel (Jacob) is innocent of these, and Islam is innocent of terrorists, extremists, killers and criminals.

The Prophet Muhammad, (saws), legislated eating camels’ meat, and the Jews told him: No, they are unlawful to be eaten, so the answer was:

( قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ …) (…So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful): and he (saws) approved to them by the Torah that camels’ meat was lawful for Israelites but Jacob (PBUH) has made it unlawful for just himself:

(… إِلاَّ مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ…) (…except what Israel made unlawful for himself …): Since he was not entitled to make anything lawful or not for the others because only Allah (swt) can do that.

(… مِن قَبْلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ …) (…before the Torah was revealed …): The Torah was revealed after Jacob (Israel) for a long time, there were centuries-old, and the Torah was revealed to Moses (pbuh), not to Jacob (pbuh), and in the days of (Israel) there was neither a Torah nor the Judaism.

Our Qur’an is the source of truth:

قُلْ صَدَقَ اللّهُ

(Say, “Allah has told the truth) (Ali-Imran: 95)

We are matching things with what came in the Holy Qur’an, because we believe that it is from Allah (swt), but when we discuss those who do not believe in the Qur’an, we cannot say to them: This is how we found it in the Qur’an, but it is also scientific and historical facts are necessary to prove the righteousness of what we say.

Hence, the Qur’an showed them that what Israel (PBUH) denied to himself had nothing to do with them; because it was before the Torah came down, so he (saws) asked them to bring the Torah, and read it to prove that their claim of what was forbidden to them, but they refused because they were liars and they didn’t find that in their books.
