BANI ISRAEL, WHO ARE THEY?

Yaqub (as) is known as 'Israel'. This means 'Servant of Allah' in Hebrew. It is the Arabic equivalent of
'Abdullah'.

From the 'Children [descendants] of Israel' those who follow the Jewish religion are known as
'Yahood' in Arabic, which is the same as the English word 'Jews' or in German/Dutch 'Juden/jude'.
The name is derived from 'Yahooda', one of Nabi Yaqub (as) sons. This is because in tribes and clans,
it is very common to name the tribe or clan after a famous member of the tribe. There are
muslim/Buddhist/Atheist/Christian people from Bani Israel. All the prophets from Bani Israel are all
Muslim, from the 1st prophet among them, prophet Yusuf (as) to the last prophet from their tribe,
Isa (as) the messiah.

Yaqub's sons were twelve from 4 women:

From Liya/Leah (1st wife & eldest sister ) there were Rueben (Robil), Simon (Shamun), Levi (Lawi),
Judah (Yahudah), Issachar (isakher), and Zebulun (Zablun).

From Rahil/Rachel (2nd wife younger sister & very beautiful) there were Joseph (Yusuf) (pbuh) and
Benjamin.

From Rahil's there were Dan and Naphtali (Neftali),

and from Liya's slave there were Jad and Asher.

Liya also had a daughter with Nabi Yaqub (as) named Dina.

The 2 sisters are cousins of Nabi Yaqub (as) from his mother's side.

Bani Israel are nephews to the Arabs, the Arabs are their uncles because nabi ismail is the brother of
their grand father nabi Ishaac (as).

Bani Israel are like the Arabs, they are of different shades. You have the dark ones, the ones who
look like the Arabs, semitic & you have the new so called Bani Israel who are blond & ginger with
blue or green eyes. These new so called Bani Israel are not original descendants of Nabi Yaqub (as)
but converts from Europe.
These converts are called ashkanizi jews (European features, blond & ginger hair & blue eyes) from
Poland, Russia, Germany etc.

You have the Sephardic jews who look semitic like Arabs. You see them always with black hair &
black eyes. They are mostly the orthodox jews today. You'll see them in their black coats, black hats
& curly locks of hair.

You have the black ones called Falasha, Beta Israel (House of Israel). They are the descendants of
Nabi Suleiman (as) with Bilqis.

The black & semitic jews are descendants of Nabi Yaqub (as), the blondies & gingers are not Bani
Israel. The Zionists are mostly from these converts.

You notice Zionists are mostly blond haired & blue eyed. The sephardic orthodox jews are mostly
black haired & Arab looking. And then you have the Falasha who look like black Arabs you find in
Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman etc. The Falasha are found in Ethiopia today.
