Abstract

A staple in western discussions about interpretations of Islam is the position that the ultimate break between Muhammad and Judaism in Medina resulted also in the condemnation of Israel in the Qur’an. This contribution scrutinizes the hermeneutical premises leading to such an as­sessment and proves its incompatibility with basic principles of Muslim interpretive traditions. An analysis of the narrative sections of the Qur’an leads to the conclusion that the reciting community is continuously being confronted with God’s history with the people of Israel and that the Qur’an both advocates for the lasting/permanent election of Israel and presupposes God’s unrevoked covenant with the people of Israel.
