The fierce battle that lies ahead against the Jews is based on two phases:
The first phase, as mentioned in the ayahs of Surah “Al-Isra,” addresses the Jewish entity on the land of Palestine to destroy it and eliminate its corruption. This phase concludes with the victory of the Muslim (mujahideen) fighters over the Jews, leading to the destruction of their entity, the removal of their corruption, and the complete retrieval of Palestine from them. After this, the Jews will turn into a humiliated, oppressed people scattered in different regions.
The second phase involves the complete eradication and annihilation of the Jews, ensuring their final extinction and relieving humanity of their existence. In this phase, there will be no living Jew remaining, and it might occur in the final moments of the world's existence. It is mentioned that the Al-Masih ad-Dajjal will appear, who is Jewish, from the east, followed by seventy thousand Jews from Isfahan alone, Iran, as mentioned by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “Dajjal (the Antichrist) will be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan and will be dressed in robes of green colored satin.” Even though there are perhaps not even five Jews there, then Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him, will fight the Dajjal and those with him from the Jews and kill the Dajjal with his noble hand. Along with it, Muslims will eliminate every Jew, and it is where the words of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) will be fulfilled: “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.” This authentic hadith speaks of the final round of the prolonged war between Muslims and Jews, where Muslims will fight alongside Isa (Jesus) against the Jews who align themselves with the Dajjal, concluding with the total eradication of every Jew before the arrival of the Day of Judgment.
As for the ayah, “And when the second promise came (We sent them against you), to sadden your faces and to enter the Mosque as they entered it the first time, they utterly destroyed whatever they came across.” (Al-Isra:7), it speaks of the second removal of the corruption of the Jews, and it occurs before the final phase of the battle with a long period in between. The fulfillment of this event is expected soon, with the help of Allah. The ongoing war between Muslims and Jews has been lengthy, starting from the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and will continue until the emergence of the Dajjal, the descent of Jesus (Isa), peace be upon him, and the elimination of the last Jew. This prolonged battle consists of various rounds where there are alternating victories and defeats for both sides.
Indeed, the most severe, intense, and fierce rounds of this battle are the ones we are currently experiencing in this era where the Jews have gained an upper hand over us. However, this round will be followed by subsequent rounds where, with Allah’s will, we will achieve victory and triumph.
