Let's pretend that you are a prophet:Why should God say something about that ?
Muslims took the land after the Revelation, it was no more a jewish land at that time.
Allah (swt): My servant, Pastek. I have given the Holy Land to the Children of Israel.
Pastek (pbuh): Allah, may You be glorified and exalted. I am only a speck of dust before Your greatness. Only tell me Alllah, please, if You in Your righteousness have given the Holy Land to the Children of Israel, then, uh, why aren't they there?
Allah (swt): Error 404 File not Found.
You see, if the Qur'an would be quiet about this issue, then there would be no question. We would think, Allah (swt) never gave the Holy Land to the Jews and indeed there is only a minority of Jews there. Everything is fine.
But once the Qur'an says that Allah (swt) gave the Holy Land to the Jews, but we see most of them are not there. So we have to ask ourselves: why doesn't the Qur'an tell us what happened afterwards that caused them to be gone?
So we have a few choices:
1. Maybe they sinned again and Allah (swt) exiled them. This can be, because it happened in the past even according to their Books.
- But this begs the question, why not mention this in the Qur'an like it does many times that the Jews are going to Hell?
2. Maybe another nation sinned against Allah (swt) and stole the land that He gave to the Children of Israel. This can be, because many nations sin (like Pharaoh's people 2:47).
- But this begs the question, why would Allah (swt) not mention such a major sin, the same as He taught us about Pharaoh?
3. The Qur'an is describing Allah's (swt) Will. Allah (swt) wants the Children of Israel in the Holy Land. The fact that they are not there is against Allah's (swt) Will.
- This is the only answer that doesn't leave a question. Allah (swt) only tells us what we have to know. He doesn't want us to guess, He has given us all the information in the Qur'an. If He tells us that He has given the Holy Land to the Children of Israel, and He doesn't tell us that He changed His mind, then it must be that the land is meant for the Children of Israel. Otherwise, we can't know whether the correct answer is 1 and we should keep the Jews off the land, or 2 and we should help the Jews get back the land. Why would Allah (swt) want us to guess?
Yes, I know. I was only using it to explain the verse, not to translate it. The verse is saying until when the Jews would be given the land: until the Hereafter.You add the "until". Even in arabic there's no the "until".
