One of the major signs of the divine
provenance of the Quran is the fact that
the Jews figure so prominently in the Quranic
discourse. The word al yahud is mentioned 9
times. The phrase Bani Israel is mentioned 41
times, so dozens of references.
Why is this a sign?
Because the Jews have always been a tiny
community in terms of numbers.
They were a tiny community at the time
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam with no
real worldly power.
Palestine was under Byzantine control,
and the Jews were scattered across the nations
in diaspora. The Persians, on the other hand,
at that time, were a huge powerful empire.
And yet Allah
almost never mentions the Persians because Allah
knew that the
Persian will very quickly become Muslim, almost all
of them. And yet the Jews, despite their
tiny numbers, will continue to be very consequential
for many, many generations to come and even
rise to power once again. You see the
Quran is transhistorical in its guidance.
The author of the Quran knows the future.
