What Religion Are Jews?
Judaism is the Celestial religion which is mostly based on the Torah, Talmud and fatwas or rulings of the scholars, muftis and judges of the Jews. Although it is a celestial religion, but due to the ups and downs of the times and the worldliness of the Jews, it has gone through so many historical ups and downs that distortions have accumulated so thick that it has become difficult to recognize the original religion.
However, in whatever form Judaism exists today, it is almost impossible to understand Judaism without a deep study of Jewish history and Jewish relations with other nations.
Jews Or People Of The Scriptures:
Jews are considered people of the book and start their religion with Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the personality of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is so great and dignified that the three major religions of the world, Islam, Christianity and Judaism, consider him as the father of the prophets.
And according to a general estimate of the scholars, more than half of the prophets sent by Allah to the whole world are from the generation of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), for example, Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqub, Yusuf, Musa, Harun, Dawood, Solomon, Ayyub, Yunus, Shmuel, Ilyas, Elisha, Zakariya, Yahya (peace be upon him) and the Seal of the Prophets, Imam of the Prophets, Seyyed son of Adam, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) all of them are of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
They are from the same generation. And Ibrahim (peace be upon him) himself is related to Hazrat Nuh (peace be upon him) and his son Hazrat Sam in the tenth Pashtu.
It is because of Hazrat Sam (Sem), the son of Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him), that the Jews are called Semitic, and from this word, the words Semitism/Semetic became popular in history.
Jews Were Killing The Prophets:
The Jews became so proud of their ethnic pride and the large number of prophets and sultans in their nation that where they were considered the best nation in the world at one time, because of their pride and arrogance, they fell so much in the sight of God that The word "angry" in the language of the Holy Qur'an was applied to them even because of their common heresy, forgetfulness of God, rather, opposition to God, killing of prophets, etc. Said:
وَ اِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَیَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ مَنْ یَّسُوْمُهُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِیْعُ الْعِقَابِ ۚۖ-وَ اِنَّهٗ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۱۶۷)
And when your Lord announced that He will certainly continue to send upon them those who will continue to punish them until the Day of Resurrection, surely your Lord is quick to punish and surely He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.(Al aaRaf , Ayath No:167)

- Round Judges:
This is a period of about three hundred years in which the Bani Israel were governed by their judges. When a judge; If the law of Moses was binding, God's help would have been with him and the neighboring nations would have been defeated, and whenever a judge was disobedient to God or forgetful of the law of Moses, he would have been humiliated and the surrounding nations would have prevailed over him.

These ten tribes are called the Lost Sheep of Bani Israel. The second part of the same period is that which spans from 606 BC to 536 BC, i.e. seventy years. During this period, the kingdom of Judah of Bani Israel was destroyed and thousands of Jews were exiled to Babylon.

After that, the Jews were never blessed with a government until 1948/ and this government is also under the same verse of the Holy Qur'an, in which it is said: "The existence of the Jews in the world is either only the mercy of God (which includes all the weak, the oppressed, etc.) or else they will be blessed with the guardianship of a great worldly government, i.e. "Habil from Allah and Habil from Mankind" (Surah Aal Imran verse 112).
- Bani Israel under the rule of the Romans:
