The Gharqad subtext

We discussed about this Hadith:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

I showed some youtubes from Islamic spokemans about this hadith.

What they all said in common is a fact/rumor they all have heard:

Jews Plant Gharqad around their homes.

Lets see it:

Muhammad Al-Arifi

"Studies conducted in Tel Aviv and in the Palestinian lands occupied by the Jews showed that they plant Gharqad trees around their homes, because the Prophet Muhammad said that when the Muslims fight the Jews, each and every stone and tree will say: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. The only exception is the Gharqad tree, which is one of the trees of the Jews, and if they hide behind it, it will not reveal their presence. According to reports of people who went there and saw it with their own eyes, many Jews plant Gharqad trees around their homes, so that when the fighting begins, they can hide behind them. They are not man enough to stand and fight you."



Jordanian minister of religious endowments 'Ali Al-Faqir and Jordanian professor of religious law Khaled Al-Qudha:

The Jews know this and that's why they plant a lot of Gharqad trees.
They know the hadith!
They surround their settlments with Gharqad trees.



Muhammad Hussein Yaqoub

"I have heard that they are planting many of these trees now."



well,you can figure it out that most Jews/Israelies never heard about this Hadith.

Even those who heard it don't really know what Gharqad tree is.

BTW Israeli authorities usually plant Pines & Cypress.

And of-course that Jews don't believe in this hadith anyhow...

So bottom line this so called fact is a big lie!

But the question is why? why to lie to your people?

There's an important subtext behind this so called fact,Let follow their logic:

If Jews plant Gharqad tree it means that they believe in the hadith.

If they believe in the hadith - they should become Muslims.

If they believe in Hadith and don't accept Islam - It's only becuase their evil harts!
