Features of Jewish Society in Light of the Verses of the Holy Quran

Abstract

This study seeks to elucidate the Jewish identity and the notion of absolute preference, while also examining the Quranic perspective on Jews as reflected in their most salient characteristics. Additionally, it aims to explore the role of Jews in shaping contemporary society. The research is organized into three main sections: the first section defines the Jewish identity; the second articulates the Quranic stance on Jews, focusing on their prominent traits; and the third investigates their contributions to modern society. The researcher employed inductive, descriptive, and analytical methodologies as deemed appropriate for the nature of the study. The findings reveal several key insights: the Jewish psyche is characterized by psychological complexities, including feelings of inferiority, resentment, and hostility; the Jewish community has historically exhibited resistance to divine laws; and they have been implicated in various forms of doctrinal, moral, and social corruption throughout history. Furthermore, the Quran has undertaken the task of revealing these attributes and behaviors. The study concludes that the negative traits attributed to Jews are consistent across time and geography, suggesting a continuity of character. The researcher also provides a series of recommendations and suggestions, which are detailed at the conclusion of the paper
