Jews in the Quran
Hoodan (English: "Hodite") is an adjective which describes a يهوديا (singular) and اليهود (plural) as a whole. The Hoodan (Hodite) belief is similar (with the exception of lip-service to Moses) to that of the proto-Hebrews in the town where he who became Abraham was born (this religion was described by Maimonides as a kind of Hermeticism). The fact that Yahūdu posessed the Torah and paid some kind of lip-service to Moses however indicates that they must have once been on close contact with Jews, perhaps as "Ger Sheker" Heretics from among the Hebrews. However it would be a mistake to equate Yahūdu with Hebrews because the Quran makes it clear that Abraham was not one of the Yahūdu while the Torah makes it clear that he who became Abraham was indeed a Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). Much of the Hoodan religion is similar to the Netzarim (e.g. circumcision SB Book #1 Hadith #6 and using shrines as places of worship -SB Book #8 Hadith #427, SB Book #56 Hadith #660) or many other religions (Yahūdu keep hands on flanks while praying according to SB Book #56 Hadith #664 and do not dye grey hair SB Book #56 Hadith #668), and there is a report concerning a يهوديا who respected Moses (SB Book #41 Hadith #594 & #595, SB Book #55 Hadith #620 & #626), as well as one with a curiosity about Moses (SB Book #48 Hadith #849), and indeed Mahomed (PBUH) judges them according to Torah equity (e.g. SB Book #41, Hadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9) but there is no need to go into the similarities because what the Quran does is to highlight the differences, and so it is to explore the differences that this essay is being written.
The Ger Sheker Hoodan (Hodite) belief of the يهود (Yahūdu) rejects Gabriel as an enemy (SB Book #55 Hadith #546, SB Book #58 Hadith #275, SB Book #60 Hadith #7) and is doomed for being based around the veneration of عزير (SB Book #93 Hadith #532s, SB Book #60 Hadith #105 and in Quran 9:30, Osiris according to Mohammed Magdi Bey, or a fallen angel according to Arye Olman, AlTabiri says the Quran is wrong to use the plural Yahūdu because according to him only Pinhas ben Azarya believed this) as the only begotten son of a "hand-fettered" depiction of Allah (Quran 5:64). It is important to note that despite similarity in sound, the Jews (Bani Israeel) are clearly NOT the Yahūdu. In fact Hoodan (Hodite) people are extremely vehement against orthodox believers (Quran 5:82) which includes vehemence against those who follow the laws of Moses such as the Bani Israeel. Some Hadith even report that when the Yahūdu are alone with a believer (even one of the Bani Israeel) they will think about killing the believer{cite}.
Ibn Hazm identified the Yahūdu as a sect of (Boethusian) Sadducees who worshipped Ezra. Ibn Hazm is also responsible for the development of the doctrine of Tahrif. It might be necessary to re-visit Ibn Hazm's writings to see if this is really what he intended.

Quran
ود كثير من أهل الكتاب لو يردونكم من بعد إيمانكم كفارا حسدا من عند أنفسهم من بعد ما تبين لهم الحق فاعفوا واصفحوا حتى يأتي الله بأمره إن الله على كل شيء قدير وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة وما تقدموا لأنفسكم من خير تجدوه عند الله إن الله بما تعملون بصير وقالوا لن يدخل الجنة إلا من كان هودا أو نصارى تلك أمانيهم قل هاتوا برهانكم إن كنتم صادقين بلى من أسلم وجهه لله وهو محسن فله أجره عند ربه ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون وقالت اليهود ليست النصارى على شيء وقالت النصارى ليست اليهود على شيء وهم يتلون الكتاب كذلك قال الذين لا يعلمون مثل قولهم فالله يحكم بينهم يوم القيامة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون ومن أظلم ممن منع مساجد الله أن يذكر فيها اسمه وسعى في خرابها أولئك ما كان لهم أن يدخلوها إلا خآئفين لهم في الدنيا خزي ولهم في الآخرة عذاب عظيم ولله المشرق والمغرب فأينما تولوا فثم وجه الله إن الله واسع عليم وقالوا "اتخذ الله ولدا سبحانه" بل له ما في السماوات والأرض كل له قانتون بديع السماوات والأرض وإذا قضى أمرا فإنما يقول له كن! فيكون وقال الذين لا يعلمون لولا يكلمنا الله أو تأتينا آية كذلك قال الذين من قبلهم مثل قولهم تشابهت قلوبهم قد بينا الآيات لقوم يوقنون
- 2.109 - 2.118
Many of the People of Apocrypha long to make you disbelievers after your belief through envy on their identity's account after the truth hath become manifest unto them Forgive and be indulgent until The DIVINE give command. Lo! The DIVINE is Able to do all things Establish communion and pay the poor-due For whatever of good ye send before (you) for your Nafs ye will find it with The DIVINE. Lo! The DIVINE is Seer of what ye do Though they say: None entereth Paradise unless he be Hoodan or Netzarim These are their own desires Say (O Ye Orthodox): Bring your proof if ye are loyal Nay but whosoever esalm his purpose to DIVINE while doing good his reward is with his MASTER and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve Though the Yahūdu say the Netzarim follow nothing and the Netzarim say the Yahūdu follow nothing -while both are readers of Apocrypha!- even thus speak those who know not! The DIVINE will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ and who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of The DIVINE lest should mention of HE be called therein? and who striveth for their ruin? As for such it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom Unto DIVINE belong the East and the West and whithersoever ye turn there is The DIVINE's countenance Lo! The DIVINE is All-Embracing All-Knowing Though they (Yahūdu & Netzarim) say: "The DIVINE made a walid be it glorified!" Nay, The DIVINE's is WHATSOEVER is in the heavens and the earth. ALL are subservient unto HIM! The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When it decreeth a thing it saith unto it only: Be! and it is and those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not The DIVINE speak unto us or some sign come unto us? Even thus as they now speak spake those before them Their hearts are all alike WE (Sifatullah) have made clear the revelations for people who are sure.
- In contrast to this, Jewish religion is not called Hoodan (that is more like Hinduism in Hebrew) and certainly do not say no one will enter paradise unless one follows it. Moreover, Jews do not say that the Netzarim follow nothing, and Jews do not believe that God has Etakhadh a glorified Walid.
ولن ترضى عنك اليهود ولا النصارى حتى تتبع ملتهم قل إن هدى الله هو الهدى ولئن اتبعت أهواءهم بعد الذي جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا نصير
- 2.120
Though the Yahūdu will not be pleased with Thee (O Mursal) nor will the Netzarim till Thou follow their creed Say: Lo! the-guidance of The DIVINE is guidance! But if Thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto Thee then wouldst Thou have from The DIVINE no ally nor helper.
- In contrast to this, Jews do not require people to become Jews as long as they are on the Deen of Noah.
وقالوا كونوا هودا أو نصارى تهتدوا قل بل ملة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من المشركين
- 2.135
Though they say: "Be Hoodan or Netzarim then ye will be rightly guided" Say (unto them O Israel): Nay but The Malha of Abraham Hanifa and he was not of the polytheists.
- Again the Hoodan (Hindu?) religion has nothing to do with Jews, and if Judaism is meant then it does not preach such a thing. For Jews, as long as one is on the Deen of Noah then one is rightly guided.
أم تقولون إن إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحق ويعقوب والأسباط كانوا هودا أو نصارى
- 2.140
Or say ye that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes were Hoodan or Netzarim?
- Judaism does not teach that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob were Hoodan nor Netzarim, nor Jews. Monotheists yes, but not Jews.
ما كان إبراهيم يهوديا ولا نصرانيا ولكن كان حنيفا مسلما وما كان من المشركين
- 3.67
Abraham was not an Yihudia nor yet a Nasranian but he was a Hanifa a Muslim and he was not of the Gentiles
- Jews do not teach that Abraham was a "Yihudian".
وقالت اليهود والنصارى نحن أبناء الله وأحباؤه
- 5:18
The Yahūdu and the Netzarim say: we are children of The DIVINE and its beloveds.
- In contrast, Jews believe that all people are created in God's image.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود والنصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهم إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين
- 5.51
O Ye Orthodox! Take not The Yahūdu and the Netzarim for allies They are allies one to another s/he among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them Lo! The DIVINE guides not wrong-doing folk.
- Jews are not allied to Netzarim, and simply being in alliance with the Jews is certainly not enough to make one into a Jew.
وقالت اليهود يد الله مغلولة
- 5.64
The Yahūdu say: The DIVINE's hand is fettered.
- There is even criticism in the Mishnah concerning people who say such a thing. Jews believe God is omnipotent.
لتجدن أشد الناس عداوة للذين آمنوا اليهود والذين أشركوا ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين آمنوا الذين قالوا إنا نصارى
- 5.82
Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Yahūdu and the Polytheists and thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! we are Netzarim...
- In contrast, Jews have very good things to say about Islam. The war between Israel and Palestine is not a war against Muslims. Indeed if all the People in Palestine started to behave like Muslims tomorrow then the war would be over, and many Jews would even opt to be under the Islamic rule than under the secular state of Israel. If anything the description Netzarim in this verse at least fits better with Jews than the description of the Yahūdu.
وقالت اليهود عزير ابن الله وقالت النصارى المسيح ابن الله ذلك قولهم بأفواههم يضاهؤون قول الذين كفروا من قبل قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكون اتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون
- 9.30 - 31
Though the Yahūdu say: "`Azir son of The DIVINE" and the Netzarim say: "The Anointed son of The DIVINE" That is their saying with their mouths They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old The DIVINE (itself) condemns them How perverse are they! They have taken their wizards and their Rehaban as lords beside The DIVINE and Almasih inb Maryam. but he didn't command them except that they serve only One Eloah, there is no Eloah save HIM Be HE glorified from all that they ascribe as partner!
- This is the clearest description of the Yahūdu in the Quran, again (as in 2.109-2.118) it re-iterates that they are guilty of ascribing partners unto The DIVINE and names the object of their veneration as `Azir. Whoever these Yahūdu are it is absolutely clear from the Quran alone that they simply can not be educated Torah observant orthodox Jews. Moreover it identifies them as taking wizards as their lords. Much debate has raged over the identity of 'Azir, some say he is Ezra, but this hardly fits the context. It is much more likely that his is the green man, Osiris, venerated among the practitioners of witchcraft.
This ends the discussion of the Hoodan religion in the Quran, but there is one more element which deserves a small discussion. The Prophet هود (PBUH) mentioned for example in 26.124 is usually identified as Eber, the eponymous ancestor of all the Hebrews seems to be eponymous for the Yahūdu too. Many generations after Prophet Eber, the Hebrews had deviated from the deen of Noah. Abraham was sent as a messenger to the Hebrews as they were his own people, indeed Abraham was called a Hebrew, but not many of the Hebrews followed him. However, this might be an oxymoron because the Quran itself says that Abraham was not Yihudia while the Torah does call him a Hebrew which probably indicates that the etymology of Hud and Yahūdu are not to be related.
Sahih Bukhari
Having identified from the Quran som ekey elements of the Hoodan belief system which certainly clear the Jews from the charge of being labelled Yahūdu, it is time now to turn to the Hadith. At least we may be able to gather from the Hadith some more information about the nature of the Hoodan belief system in order to see if some kind of identity emerges for these people.
Bukhari's Hadith disgracefully paint a very two faced picture of Mahomed (PBUH) towards the Yahūdu unlike the Quran which is 100% negative. The inconsistencies are 1) that Mahomed (PBUH) respects their Mosaic knowledge. 2) that Mahomed (PBUH) interacts with them kindly. 3) that Mahomed (PBUH) curses them.
Hadith (SB Book #53 Hadith #394) says that those who believed that the fire would not touch them except for a certain number of days are the the Yahūdu i.e. the أميون from among the Bani Israeel (Quran 2:78-80), and ...... not referring to the tribe of Judah also said that not all Israelites were Yahūdu. In some instances Ibn Hazm's assessment would seem to be true that they were a sect of Sadducees, but in other cases they appear to simple be Ger Sheker tribes of Amalekites insincerely converted to Judaism being "سماعون للكذب أكالون للسحت" i.e. "greedy for illicit gain" (Quran 5:42).
Yahūdu used to light fires (just like the Sadducees in opposition to the Pharisees) and shofar to announce the times for prayer (SB Book #11 Hadith #577, and SB Book #56 Hadith #663). Jews however do not do this.
The most holy month of the year for Hoodan (Hodite) people is Muharram (Iyyar), because of Ashura (SB Book #31 Hadith #222 SB Book #55 Hadith #609, SB Book #58 Hadith #278, SB Book #60 Hadith #202, SB Book #60 Hadith #261), a day of fasting on the 10th of Muharram to mourn the defeat of the Israelites over Egypt. It is falsely attributed to Mahomed (PBUH) that he adopted this fast from them. Jews however do not know this fast.
Those mentioned in the Holy Quran (3:181) as the people who used to kill their Prophets are according to traditional tafsir considered Yahūdu along with those guilty of consuming Suht (worst type of unlawful wealth).
Yahūdu poison their prophets in order to identify them (SB Book #71 Hadith #669). Jews however do not do this.
Yahūdu believe in the punishment of the grave (SB Book #75 Hadith #377) as do many religions.
Yahūdu think nothing of killing believers and take false oaths (SB Book #83 Hadith #37) Jews however consider every human to be in the image of God.
Yahūdu are not Muslims (Book #89 Hadith #302) it might be that the word Yahūdu was used to describe those who were not capable of Islam.
The Priests (ARABIC NEEDED) of Yahūdu have made no just estimate of Allah such as due to him (SB Book #93 Hadith #604, SB Book #93 Hadith #510)
Yahūdu have priests (ARABIC NEEDED) and a different Torah from the one used by Muslims e.g. blackening faces (SB Book #82 Hadith #809, SB Book #93 Hadith #633, SB Book #56 Hadith #829, SB Book #60 Hadith #79, Book #82 Hadith #825). Jews however do not do this.
Yahūdu revere politicians (Book #58 Hadith #277) ARABIC NEEDED.
Saturday is the Yahūdu day of weekly immersion (SB Book #13 Hadith #21, SB Book #56 Hadith #693). However, Friday is the day for weekly immersion among Torah observant Jews.
Sabi-Muslims are in danger of going into the ways of the Yahūdu (SB Book #56 Hadith #662) but then so are many people.
Yahūdu use 'Az-Zur' wigs (SB Book #56 Hadith #694) but then so do many people.
Yahūdu believe Balam is an Ox (Book #76 Hadith #527). Jews however never considered this.
Yahūdu and Netzarim ascribe Jesus as a partner to Allah (Book #63, Hadith #209). Jews however do not do this.
Yahūdu love to be praised for what they have not done (Tafsir on Quran 3.187-188 by SB Book #60 Hadith #91) but then so do many people.
Yahūdu believe in part of the scripture and disbelieve in other (Tafsir on Quran 15.90 by Book #60 Hadith #229) typical of a Ger Sheker.
Yahūdu and Netzarim are the greatest losers in respect to their deeds (Tafsir on Quran 18.103 by SB Book #60 Hadith #252)
Yahūdu wore Tailsans (SB Book #59 Hadith #519). Jews however do not do this.
Hoodan superstition concerning the origin of a squint (SB Book #60 Hadith #51). Jews however do not have this superstition.
Yahūdu preceded the Netzarim (SB Book 10 Hadith #533, SB Book #36 Hadith #468, #469, #471, SB Book #56 Hadith #665) as did Amalekitse but they are not Jews.
Yahūdu lived in Hijaz (SB Book #59 Hadith #371) Medina (SB Book #59 Hadith #362) Bait-ul-Midras (SB Book #53, Hadith #392) and Khaibar (SB Book #36 Hadith #485, SB Book #39 Hadith #524, SB Book #44 Hadith #678, SB Book #52 Hadith #195, SB Book #59 Hadith #510, SB Book #59 Hadith #550) until forced to go to Taima' and Ariha' (SB Book #39 Hadith #531, SB Book #50 Hadith #890, SB Book #53 Hadith #380). Jews however have no record of being in Arabia.
Yahūdu make profit from the fat ordained for burning in prayer (SB Book #34, Hadith #426, #427, & #438, SB Book #56 Hadith #666).
Yahūdu use magic (SB Book #66 Hadith #378, SB Book #71 Hadith #661). Jews however do not do this.
The allies of the Yahūdu are of them (Quran 5:51) e.g. the munafik Labid bin Al-A'sam, a man from Bani Zuraiq (SB Book #71 Hadith #660, SB Book #73 Hadith #89).
Yahūdu respect Hanif, the Milah of Abraham, as much as Netzarim do (SB Book #58, Hadith #169). However, Hanifa is not known to Jews.
Yahūdu greet with the phrase "As-Samu 'alaikum" (SB Book #74 Hadith #274, SB Book #84 Hadith #60, SB Book #84 Hadith #62, and similar versions in SB Book #73 Hadith #53 repeated in SB Book #52, Hadith #186 and Book #73 Hadith #57 and SB Book #74 Hadith #273) Jews however do not do this.
Yahūdu are bold, unkind, unfriendly (e.g. SB Book #41 Hadith #581, SB Book #65 Hadith #354) Jews however are generally friendly.
Yahūdu are Infidels (SB Book #53, Hadith #398 (See Vol. 9 Hadith No. 36). Jews however are monotheists.
Yahūdu are Doomed
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Yahūdu till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Hodite hiding behind me; so kill him.' " (SB Book #52, Hadith #176)
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Yahūdu, and the stone behind which a Hodite will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Hodite hiding behind me, so kill him." (SB Book #52, Hadith #177)
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Yahūdu will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Hodite behind me; kill him!' " (SB Book #56, Hadith #791)
Sahih Muslim
Yahūdu darken the faces of adulterers (SM Book #017 Hadith #4211)
Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported: There happened to pass by Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) a Hodite blackened and lashed. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) called them (the Yahūdu) and said: Is this the punishment that you find in your Book (Torah) as a prescribed punishment for adultery? They said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) called one of the scholars amongst them and said: I ask you in the name of Allah Who sent down the Torah on Moses if that is the prescribed punishment for adultery that you find in your Book. He said: No. Had you not asked me in the name of Allah, I would not have given you this information. We find stoning to death (as punishment prescribed in the Torah). But this (crime) became quite common amongst our aristocratic class. So when we caught hold of any rich person (indulging in this offence) we spared him, but when we caught hold of a helpless person we imposed the prescribed punishment upon him. We then said: Let us argree (on a punishment) which we can inflict both upon the rich and the poor. So We decided to blacken the face with coal and flog as a substitute punishment for stoning. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah, I am the first to revive Thy command when they had made it dead. He then commanded and he (the offender) was stoned to death. Allah, the Majestic and Glorious, sent down (this verse):" O Messenger, (the behaviour of) those who vie with one another in denying the truth should not grieve you..." up to" is vouchsafed unto you, accept it" (v. 41) 2176 It was said (by the Yahūdu): Go to Muhammad; it he commands you to blacken the face and award flogging (as punishment for adultery), then accept it, but it he gives verdict for stoning, then avoid it. It was (then) that Allah, the Majestic and Great, sent down (these verses):" And they who do not judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed are, indeed, deniers of the truth" (v. 44) ;" And they who do not judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed-they, they indeed are the wrongdoers" (v. 45) ;" And they who do not judge in accordance with what God has revealed-they are the iniquitous (v. 47). (All these verses) were revealed in connection with the non-believers. (SM Book #017 Hadith #4214)
Yahūdu do black magic SM Book #026 Hadith #5428.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If ten scholars of the Yahūdu would follow me, no Hodite would be left upon the surface of the earth who would not embrace Islam. (Book #039, Hadith #6711)
SM Book #026 Hadith #5389 smply cannot be Sahih because it seems to encourage Muslims towards intimidation of Yahūdu. Unless the meaning of narrow path means the siratul-mustaqim.
Another which seems not Sahih is that Yahūdu and Netzarim are ransom for Muslims from Hell-fire (SM Book #037 Hadith #6666)
Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Yahūdu and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Hodite (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him. (Book #041, Hadith #6981)
Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):" There is a Hodite behind me." (Book #041, Hadith #6982)
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You and the Yahūdu would fight against one another until a stone would say: Muslim, here is a Hodite behind me; come and kill him. (Book #041, Hadith #6983)
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Yahūdu will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Hodite behind me; kill him. (Book #041, Hadith #6984)
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Yahūdu and the Muslims would kill them until the Yahūdu would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Hodite behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Yahūdu. (Book #041, Hadith #6985)
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported: Ibn Sa'id said to me somethhing for which I felt ashamed. He said: I can excuse others; but what has gone wrong with you, O Companions of Muhammad, that you take me as Dajjal? Has Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) not said that he would be a Hodite whereas I am a Muslim and he also said that he would not have children, whereas I have children, and he also said: veryly, Allah has prohibited him to enter Mecca whereas I have performed Pilgrimage, atid. he went on saying this that I was about to be impressed by his tallk. He (however) said this also: I know where he (Dajjal) is and I know his father abd I mother, and it was said to him: Won't you feel pleased if you would be the same person? Thereupon he said: If this offer is made to me, I would noT resent that. (Book #041, Hadith #6995)
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Yahūdu of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls. (Book #041, Hadith #7034)
