The Jewish Perspectives on Islam during the Historical Epoch of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Abstract

Prophet Muhammad was sent to this world by giving the true and last religion so that the people who will come until the Day of Judgment may be guided. After the prophet-hood, when the Prophet migrated to Medina by the order of Allah, the Jews did not like his arrival. The Jews believed that the last prophet Muhammad would appear among the Jews, while Allah sent his last prophet to the Arabs, which made the attitude of the Jews very harsh towards Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers. They did not miss any opportunity to humiliate and defame the Islam and Muslims, even the Jews tried to kill the Prophet several times to stop the spread of Islam. In this article, the behavior of the Jews towards Islam and its followers in the era of Muhammad (PBUH) is described in the light of the Qur’an and Hadith in order to estimate the mentality of the Jews and their hatred and enmity against the Muslims, which will also help in understanding the conspiracies of the Jews in this era.
