Israel supporters tell Ayatalloh, Jews living in the Holy Land is will of Allah

A group of pro-Israel activists has written to the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatalloh Khamenei asking him to recognise that the Quran upholds the right of the Jewish people to the Holy Land.

The group, called the Middle East Information Exchange, handed a letter into the Iranian Embassy in London in October, in which they cited two verses from the Quran, including one which declares “O My People! Go into the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you”.

They wrote, “Further research confirms that major commentators on the Quran – Al Tabari, Ibn Kathir – confirm that the Holy Land is ‘written’ by Allah in the Quran to the Jewish people.”

They wondered “whether the return of Jews to the Holy Land, for more than a century now, has been happening by the will of Allah and not, as seems to have been hitherto thought, against the will of Allah.”
