    1. Bani Israel” in the Quran:
      • “Bani Israel” is an Arabic term that translates to “Children of Israel.” It refers to the descendants of the Prophet Jacob, who is also known as Israel in the Abrahamic traditions. The term is used in the Quran to refer to the Israelite community, which played a significant role in the history of monotheistic religions.
    2. Israel in the Quran:
      • In the Quran, “Israel” is not used to refer to the modern state of Israel established in 1948. Instead, it is a reference to the biblical figure Jacob (Yaqub in Arabic). Jacob is considered one of the prophets in Islam, and he is known as “Israel” because of a blessing and name change mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 32:28).
    3. Bani Israel in the Quran:
      • The term “Bani Israel” is mentioned several times in the Quran and is often used in reference to the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob. The Quran discusses their history, their relationship with God, and their various prophets, including Moses (Musa in Arabic).
    4. The Modern State of Israel (Established in 1948):
      • The modern state of Israel, established in 1948, is a political entity that was created in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust. It is not directly related to the historical Bani Israel mentioned in the Quran.

    It’s important to note that while the Quran mentions the historical Israelites (Bani Israel) and their prophets, the term “Israel” in the Quran does not refer to the modern geopolitical state of Israel. The modern state of Israel is a separate political entity that has its roots in the 20th century, whereas the Bani Israel mentioned in the Quran has its historical and religious significance within the Abrahamic traditions.

    According to the Quran, the term “Bani Israeel” (or “Banu Isra’il”) refers to the descendants of the Prophet Jacob (known as Prophet Yaqub in Islam). Prophet Jacob had twelve sons, who became the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. The descendants of these twelve tribes are collectively referred to as “Bani Israeel” in the Quran.The Quran mentions the history, trials, and guidance provided to the Children of Israel (Bani Israeel) in several places, highlighting their role in receiving earlier divine revelations and messages from God.
