O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you, and do not turn your backs, or you will become losers.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-Ma'idah, Verse 21
21. "O' my people! enter the holy land which Allah has ordained for you and do not turn your backs, for then you will return (Us) losers."
In this verse, the Qur'an states the process of the arrival of the Children of Israel into the holy land as follows: Moses (as) told his people to arrive the holy land which Allah (s.w.t.) had assigned for them, and as for that arrival, they should not afraid of its difficulties. They were enjoined not to refrain from any self -sacrifice, because had they turned on their backs, they would have been of the losers. The Qur'an from the tongue of Moses says:
The objective meaning of the Qur'anic phrase /'ard-al-muqaddas/ (the holy land) is either the whole region of ancient Shamat (Syria, Jordan, Palestine, etc.), or Jerusalem.
