Muslim Lands in Jerusalem? Au contraire

Muslim clerics order freeze on sale of Muslim lands in Jerusalem?
The Council of Sages and Preachers in Al-Quds (the Arab name of Jerusalem-ed.) made clear on Tuesday that the transfer of real estate in Jerusalem to non-Muslims is considered one of the gravest crimes in terms of religion and nationality. arutzsheva

Jerusalem and Israel is the Ancient Homeland Given by God to the Children of Yaakov

Where did the Jewish People/Nation come from:

From [Avraham, Yitzchak, and] *Yaakov, and his 12 sons (Tribes),  the descendants of which crossed into the Land of Caanan with Yehoshua; from which they settled and took custody of the Land. The history of the Jewish People/Nation is recorded in the Jewish Bible (Chumash: the Five Books of Moses), a/k/a The Old Testament. WIKIPEDIA writes that the Jewish people originated in the land of Israel, and have maintained physical, cultural, and religious ties to it ever since. [. . .] and the Jewish Bible claims that a Jewish monarchy existed starting in the 10th century BCE, the first appearance of the name "Israel" in the secular (non-Biblical) historic record is the Egyptian Merneptah Stele, circa 1200 BCE.

During the Biblical period, two kingdoms occupied the highland zone, the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in the north, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE), and the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (586 BCE). Upon the defeat of the Babylonian Empire by the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great (538 BCE), the Jewish elite returned to Jerusalem, and the Second Temple was built. For a timeline of Israeli settlement in Eretz Yisrael, visit WIKIPEDIA.


So, where did the Arabs (Muslims) come from:

According to the Book of Genesis, Abraham married Keturah after the death of his first wife, Sarah. Abraham and Keturah had six sons [Zimran (son), Jokshan (son), Medan (son), Midian (son), Ishbak (son), Shuah (son)]. Genesis and First Chronicles also list seven of her grandsons (Sheba, Dedan, Ephah, Epher, Enoch, Abida, and Eldaah). Keturah's sons were said to have represented the Arab tribes who lived south and east of Palestine (Genesis 25:1-6).  WIKIPEDIA

ALSO: Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.  WIKIPEDIA

So, where were the Muslims living in: 10th C BCE, 1200 BCE, 332 BCE, 165 BCE, 66–136 CE, 614 CE, until 638 CE (first Muslim invasion)?

Where? In the deserts of Saudi Arabia. See Map below.

Muhammad c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE) was the founder of Islam.

WIKIPEDIA: The history of the Arabs begins in the mid-ninth century BC, which is the earliest known attestation of the Old Arabic language. WIKIPEDIA

ALSO: mention of Arabs is from the mid-ninth century BCE as a tribal people in eastern and southern Syria, and the north of the Arabian Peninsula; According to Islamic tradition, the Qahtanites are pure Arabs, unlike the Adnanites who are "Arabized Arabs", descended from *Ishmael through Adnan.

ALSO: According to Islamic tradition, the Qahtanites are pure Arabs, unlike the Adnanites who are "Arabized Arabs", descended from *Ishmael through Adnan. The Qahtani people are divided into the two sub-groups of Himyar (Himyartes) and Kahlan (Kahlanis).

ALSO: Adnan is the traditional ancestor of the Adnanite Arabs of Northern, Western and Central Arabia, as opposed to the Qahtanite Arabs of Southern Arabia who descend from Qahtan.

 [*Ishmael was born to Abraham and Sarah's (Egyptian Princess) handmaiden.]

13And behold, the Lord was standing over him, and He said, "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; the land upon which you are lying to you I will give it and to your seed.
 יגוְהִנֵּ֨ה יְהֹוָ֜ה נִצָּ֣ב עָלָיו֘ וַיֹּאמַר֒ אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֗ה אֱלֹהֵי֙ אַבְרָהָ֣ם אָבִ֔יךָ וֵֽאלֹהֵ֖י יִצְחָ֑ק הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתָּה֙ שֹׁכֵ֣ב עָלֶ֔יהָ לְךָ֥ אֶתְּנֶ֖נָּה וּלְזַרְעֶֽךָ:

15And behold, I am with you, and I will guard you wherever you go, and I will restore you to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have spoken concerning you." טווְהִנֵּ֨ה אָֽנֹכִ֜י עִמָּ֗ךְ וּשְׁמַרְתִּ֨יךָ֙ בְּכֹ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־תֵּלֵ֔ךְ וַֽהֲשִׁ֣בֹתִ֔יךָ אֶל־הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את כִּ֚י לֹ֣א אֶֽעֱזָבְךָ֔ עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִם־עָשִׂ֔יתִי אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי לָֽךְ:

Just wrote a Torah explanation of the above post; the wikipedia one does not say that Keturah was Hagar, which our Sages tell us that Hagar was Keturah and that the far eastern people (Indians) are the offspring of Keturah and Hagar's son Yishmael is the father of the 12 princes of the Arab nations. Since Yishmael had a brit, he was allowed to have some control (dominance) in the Land of Israel when the bnai Yisrael were exiled until their return home.

It seems that they didn't allow me to send the original comment.
