Question

I heard a hadith stating there will be no jews left in jerusalem or israel one day? Is this correct?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallAllaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

Perhaps the dear questioner is referring to the following Hadeeth. Abu Hurayrah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, said: "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say, 'O Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him;' but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews." [Muslim and Ahmad]

ʻAbdullaah ibn ʻUmar  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, said: “The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!’” [Muslim]

Moreover, Abu Umaamah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, said about the descent of Prophet ʻEesa (Jesus)  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention and killikg Ad-Dajjaal: “... He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allaah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak - no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal - except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak - except that it will say: "O Muslim slave of Allaah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!” [Ibn Maajah: Marfooʻ - directly attributed to the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam]

These Hadeeths underline the prophetic tidings about the eradication of these corrupt people, the descendants of apes and pigs, who have caused mischief on earth and killed the Prophets of Allah.

They also highlight that Muslims will have the upper hand on them and that they shall not find any escape or shelter.

Allah knows best.
