Ben Haryo Dear Rabbi Abrahamson. As a historian, you might be
interested with this article by Mr. Abdul M. Ghazali "..Relationship
between Islam and Judaism is often described in a bad way. Most of
Muslims assumed that Jews are dishonest, stubborn and evil people.
This perspective is based on the fact that Jews of Medina in the days
of the Prophet has broken the political treatise, namely Medina
Charter. It led to a conflict between Muslim and Jews. The Jews of
Bani Mushtaliq had planned to murder prophet Muhammad under al-Harits
bin Abi Dlirar’s command.
Prophet heard about this information and therefore battle occurred.
Until now, Palestine has not been a safe zone for its citizen, since
Jews and Muslims have been fighting each other.
Based on these evidences, some Muslims concluded and generalized that
the Jews are not to be trusted. To support this argument they took
Quranic verse, “And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will
the Christians, till thou follow their creed” (QS al-Baqarah: 120).
Another verse said: “Many of the People of the Scripture long to make
you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account,
after the truth had become manifest unto them” (2: 109).
In fact this verse specifically responded the attitude of Jews such as
Ka`ab ibn al-Asyraf, Hayy ibn Akhthab, Abu Yasir ibn Akhthab, Syas ibn
Qais al-Yahudi who wanted to convert Muslims into Jewish.
Unfortunately, this social-political verse was regarded as theological
verse. We know that generalization means simplification. History
proved that not every Jews treat the Muslims badly.
First, when prophet Muhammad was twelve years old, (585), he
accompanied his uncle Abu Thalib in a business trip to Syam. As they
reached Boshra, they met a Jewish rabbi named Buhaira. This rabbi
asserted that there are three eminent persons namely Buhaira, Rubab al-
Syana, and the expected one, who is a young man beside him, namely
Muhammad. When Muhammad and Maysarah went to Syam on the other day to
run Khadijah’s business (before he married her), Nestor (a Jewish
rabbi) testified on Muhammad’s prophethood. Nestor said that he is a
prophet. It means that recognition upon Muhammad’s propethood came for
the first time from the Jews, namely Buhaira and Nestor.
Second, Mukhayrîq, a Jewish man from Bani Tsa’labah who was smart and
rich (he owed many farms and date palm gardens) was a victim of Uhud
war. As he listened that there will be battle between Meccan
polytheists against Muslim, Mukhayrîq told his fellows to support the
Medina Charter. In the Medina Charter, defending Muslims is the right
thing. When his fellows protested because the battle was taking place
on Sabbath, Mukhayrîq replied that helping Muhammad does not disgrace
the Sabbath, and affirmed that Muhammad is his heir. “If only I die in
this battle, all of my treasures will go to Muhammad for a matter
which God shows him”. Mukhayrîq asserted. Afterward he prepared his
sword, went to Uhud hill, fought the polytheists and got killed there.
Mukhayrîq was a prototype of Jew who strongly uphold the agreement.
Third, the Jews had helped Muslims in conquering the city of Andalus
in Spain. In the age of Abbasid Empire, the Jews –beside the
Christians and Sabeans- helped the government’s administration. They
were also involved in translating Greek works into Arabic.
It is important to expose this historical fact to let the Muslims know
that some Jewish groups have an objective perspective and were fair in
building relationship with Islam. They are not like what the Muslims
think.."

Ben Haryo thank you for the enlightenment, Mr. Sorgenfrei. I never
knew that Islam has profound influence to Immanuel Kant as well.
