6. The number of verses we mentioned earlier, which contains a reference to the number of years the modern Jewish state will last, is 13 words. If we multiply this number by the number of verses in Surat Al-Isra, which is 111, we will find it equals 1443. This is the same Hijri year in which this state will fall, God willing, as a fitting retribution for the provocation it practices against Muslims.

7. In verse 104 of Surat Al-Isra, we read: "And when We substitute one [statue] for another [statue] and Allah knows best what He sends down, they say, 'You only invent it.' Rather, most of them do not know." And when we count 1443 verses before this verse, we will find it is verse 21 of Surat Yunus, and we read: "And it is not for a soul to die except by permission of Allah at a decreed time. And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof, and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him thereof. And We will reward the grateful." The connection between the two verses is not hidden from anyone, whether in terms of the number (1443) that separates them, or in terms of the meaning they convey. The verse of Al-Ma'idah speaks of the first presence of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land, and the verse of Al-Isra speaks of their last presence there, God willing. Therefore, the number 1443, which separates the two verses, indicates, God willing, the Hijri year in which this presence of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land will cease.

8. The number of verses from the beginning of His saying in Surat Al-Baqarah: "O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds. And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul, and no intercession will be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided." [2:47] to the end of His saying in the same Surah: "O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds. And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul, and no compensation will be accepted from it, nor will intercession benefit it, nor will they be aided." [2:122] is 76 verses. The connection between the two verses is not hidden from anyone, whether in terms of the number (76) that separates them, or in terms of the meaning they convey. They are the only two verses in the Quran that speak of Allah's preference for the Children of Israel over the worlds, reminding them of His blessings upon them, so that their condition may improve, as He Almighty said: "And if they are punished, they are punished by them, and if they are rewarded, they are rewarded by them." And after 76 lunar years, they were obligated.
