Cracking the Qur’an Code: God’s Land, Torah and People Covenants with Israel in the Qur’an and Islamic Tradition, by Lowell Gallin, is a fascinating spiritual journey through good and evil, with all the real actors, places, and situations depicted in such a manner as if the reader is part of a journey beginning with Noah, continuing from Ibrahim to Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus and concluding with Muhammad.

When the reader finishes this book, he finds himself in the present day world together with Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi and Dr. Asher Eder, preaching peace and understanding between the Children of Ismail and Jacob. Cracking the Qur'an Code provides us with the great opportunity of traveling on a fascinating spiritual and historical journey through the objective prism of Qur’anic teachings.

This book is written in such a simple, sincere and mind-attracting manner that one cannot stop reading it. A history starts unfolding in front of one’s eyes. When you finish reading Cracking the Qur'an Code, it has already captured your soul. This is a masterpiece, a pioneering work which will go a long way in bringing the Muslim and Jewish religions and civilizations together, or at least helping us to understand each other; to know about our shared roots, destiny, ideology, history, struggles and values. It teaches us a very important lesson, focusing on the question, “Why not come closer to each other based on shared commonalities rather than fighting over our differences?”

In Cracking the Qur’an Code, we see a tremendous job of collecting precious pearls from different seas of knowledge, with great wisdom and a sense of purpose. I believe that without divine guidance this task would not have been accomplished.

This painstaking work really deserves admiration and applause. It is as if the author has sifted through every page, every phrase and every word of the Holy Qu'ran, Torah and Tanach. He searched thoroughly the contemporary literature to provide us with examples from the recent history of the hate and love relationship between Arabs and Jews. He has presented truth. It is through truth and objectivity and the spreading of unbiased information that we can bring harmony and peace between different peoples, cultures, civilizations and religions, paving the way to create a better world for our future generations.

The author gave full space to the views and grand works of his teachers, Dr. Asher Eder of Jerusalem, Israel and Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi of Rome, Italy, even at the cost of repetition. He did not forget to mention the sacrifices of his friends such as Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, rendered for the support of the cause of Israel. This shows the author's respect for his teachers and love for his friends.

Ironically, most non-Arab Muslims do not know about true Qur’anic teachings as the Qu'ran is in Arabic and they have never read its translations into their mother tongues. It is difficult to comprehend the Qur'an's translation from Arabic into other languages, without translations into those languages of the classical commentaries of Qur'anic religious scholars. It is here that some misguided Wahhabi scholars take advantage of ignorance among many Muslims to teach hate, particularly to those Muslims whose language is not Arabic, such as we Pashtuns, for example.

Pashtuns do not know about original and un-tempered Islamic, Jewish and Christian history. We are taught by these fanatic Wahhabis that Christians and Jews are infidels who deserve to be hated, tortured and murdered. The situation is further complicated when translations of the Qur’an and the teachings of Islam are manipulated by these Wahhabi pseudo-intellectuals and power mongers for political purposes.

We have been taught or have found in whatever Islamic books we read, broadcast or published by the Wahhabi dominated print and electronic media, that Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Benjamin have been Muslim Prophets who have nothing to do with Jews. Even the term Bani-Israel (Children of Israel) is used in an ambiguous manner to hide the truth from not only ordinary ignorant people but from the educated classes as well. The Wahhabi mission is to deliberately hide the truth of Islam and to highlight only differences and spread hatred.

Cracking the Qur’an Code is an excellent corrective to the distortions, ambiguities, and untruths perpetrated by the Wahhabi Islamic media. This book can un-distort, make un-ambiguous and honestly explain both the differences and commonalities of three great religions and civilizations, the Jewish, the Christian and the Muslim.

When one finishes the book, he finds himself in present day world with Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, Dr. Asher Eder, Reuven Kossover and Lowell Gallin, preaching peace and understanding between the Children of Ismail and Jacob. I would like to extend my thanks to Lowell Gallin for providing us with this great opportunity of traveling on a fascinating spiritual and historical journey through the objective prism of Qur’anic teachings.

The story is written in such a very simple, sincere and mind-attracting manner that one cannot stop reading it. A history starts unfolding in front of one’s eyes.

It is a masterpiece pioneering work, which will go a long way in bringing the two religions and civilizations together or at least helping them to understand each other; to know about our roots, our common destiny, our common ideology, common history, common struggles and common values. It teaches us a very important lesson, focusing on the question, “Why not come closer to each other on shared commonalities rather than fighting over our differences?”

In Cracking the Qur’an Code, Mr. Gallin has done a tremendous job by collecting precious pearls from different seas of knowledge, with great wisdom and a sense of purpose. I believe that without divine guidance this task would not have been accomplished.

Ironically, most non-Arab Muslims do not know about true Qur’anic teachings as the Qu'ran is in Arabic and they have never read its translations into their mother tongues. Thus, it is difficult to comprehend its translation in other foreign languages, until it is explained by religious scholars. It is here that some misguided Wahhabi scholars teach hate to Muslims, particularly those nations whose language is not Arabic, such as us Pashtuns, for example.

Pashtuns do not know about original and un-tempered Islamic, Jewish and Christian history.

AFRIDIS MAY BE OF JEWISH ORIGIN

Talibans of Jewish Descent? Experts are Checking


by Hillel Fendel
Follow Israel news on and .


(IsraelNN.com) Experts at the National Institute of Immunohaematology in Mumbai, India believe a large group of Taliban Muslims might be descended of the lost Ten Tribes of Israel – and an Israeli rabbinical expert agrees.

Israel’s government is partially funding a genetic study to establish if there is any proof of the link, bringing an Indian expert in DNA profiling and population genetics to the Technion in Haifa. The expert, Shahnaz Ali, will be supervised by Israeli genetic research expert Prof. Karl Skorecki.

Rabbi Eliyahu Avichayil, who has dedicated his life to seeking out descendants of the Ten Tribes and bringing them to Israel, says he does not need or trust genetic testing for this purpose: “Rashi’s explanation to Jeremiah 31, 20 implies that the way to identify the Ten Lost Tribes will be via the Jewish customs that they maintain – and in this case, there are many of them.”

Rabbi Avichayil says that the Jewish-like customs that have been found among the Pathans - many of whom are now of the Taliban tribe - include sidelocks, ritual circumcision at eight days, cities of refuge for accidental killers, four-cornered garments, ritual immersion for women, and more. They also practice levirate marriage - not according to Moslem custom, which allows for various relatives of the deceased to marry a widow, whether or not she has children, but rather closer to Jewish custom, in that only brothers can marry only childless-widows.

The very name of the Afridi tribe, of which many members belong to the Taliban, indicates its origin from the Israelite Tribe of Ephraim, Rabbi Avichayil says. “The Pathans, 22 million strong, include not only the Afridic tribe, some 7.5 million people, but also the Rabanis, the Gadis, the Asheris, etc. – indications that many of them are of the Ten Tribes.”

Asked if we now have to consider the possibility of absorbing millions of Moslems from the east, including Talibanis, Rabbi Avichayil said, “I originally thought that it would be sufficient to merely have a small representation of each tribe, and then the Messiah could take care of the rest. But I was then encouraged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to continue bringing more and more – but some basic conditions must still be met, such as good absorption arrangements – not as there were with the Ethiopians – and of course a willingness on their part. I met with some Afridi members in Washington, and they were very enthusiastic about what I was saying. If I saw that some of them were interested in converting and living a Jewish lifestyle, I would immediately do what I could to help them come here.”

Regarding Al Qaeda terrorist leader and mass murderer Osama Bin Laden, Rabbi Avichayil said, "No need for concern; he's not from these tribes, but rather hails from Yemen and Saudi Arabia."
