'Dwell in the City'


What do you think is the city this Quran verse refers to?


7:161 -


And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will 


Context:

7:159And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.
7:160And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.
7:161And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

Input (thanks DR):

161. And (remember) when it was said to them: "Dwell in this town (Jerusalem) 

and "the soundest", Jerusalem.



Mohsin Khan (thanks EP)


And (remember) when it was said to them: "Dwell in this town (Jerusalem) 

And from Dr. AT, scholar of Arabic literature:

"אסכנוא הד'ה אלקריה"
הפרשנות המוסלמית המסורתית אומרת שהעיר היא "בית אלמקדס", בית המקדש, כלומר ירושלים. למעשה נראה שהכוונה היא לארץ ישראל כולה. צריך לזכור שירושלים נחשבה למייצגת את הארץ כולה, וגם הכינוי בית אלמקדס בספרות המוסלמית והערבית יהודית מתייחס לפעמים לארץ ישראל כולה.

Jerusalem.

Tajweed ought not to be viewed as an unimportant matter of tongue or accents. It incorporates numerous significant properties of the sacred content — including the planning of syllables, the lucidity of articulations, and how individual letters change the conveyance of a word. At long last, memorize quran onlineTajweed stresses the significance of an individual and profound association with the content of the Quran, understanding the sections in which a Muslim approaches God for security, benevolence, intelligence or direction, to grow a more grounded association with God by understanding His express words.

That strengthening of this faith is among the most important part of Hidayah. He gifts two monitors and monitors records of the good and the bad folks from the backdrop; that which had been their end in this world and the way they listened to people. They describe their future of these people in the hell and of the people in paradise.
