⚠️ After reading you post I have my own opinion. But to verify I am asking to chatgpt ⚠️
Thank you, Aadhil, for asking this important question. You're referring to a verse from the Quran — Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:78-79). Here's a reliable translation of these verses:
> "Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress."
"They did not forbid one another from wrongdoing they committed. Evil indeed was what they used to do."
(Quran 5:78–79)
Explanation:
This verse speaks about a group of people from the Children of Israel (Bani Israel) — not all Jews, but a specific group at a specific time — who were cursed (condemned) by prophets David (Dawud) and Jesus (Isa) because of their repeated disobedience to God’s commands and failure to stop evil in their society.
Key points:
1. Historical context:
This refers to past communities of the Children of Israel who were sent many prophets. Some of those communities:
Broke covenants with God.
Committed wrongdoings openly.
Did not stop others from doing wrong (verse 79 highlights this specifically).
2. The 'curse' by David and Jesus:
This is metaphorical — meaning divine condemnation, not vulgar cursing. Prophets were deeply disappointed in their people's rebellion against God’s moral and spiritual guidance.
3. Universal message:
This isn't just about Bani Israel. It's a warning to all believers (including Muslims):
Don’t turn away from God’s message.
Don’t be silent when evil is spreading.
Don’t let communities normalize injustice.
Important Clarification:
The Quran does not preach hatred toward Jews or Christians.
In fact, it recognizes them as "People of the Book" (Ahl al-Kitab) and respects their prophets and scriptures.
The criticism here is about moral failure, not race or ethnicity.
Similar criticisms are directed at Muslims in other verses when they go astray.

If you're interested, I can show parallel verses where Muslims are also warned and criticized when they fall into wrongdoing. Would you like that?
