According to the verses of the Qur'an, Sarah, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim, is a woman who has been blessed with God's divine mercy and has even reached a level of perfection that has made her worthy of speaking to the divine angels. The position of this lady has been discussed in many holy books and narrations. In the Bible and the Qur'an and some Islamic traditions, there is a huge difference in the expression of the characters. The Bible has not been able to portray Sarah's status as it is; moreover, it has tarnished the character of Sarah and Ibrahim by fabricating stories such as the crossing Egypt, jealousy and harshness, the persecution of Ibrahim, and so on. This attitude towards her has also penetrated in some Islamic traditions. In this study, nine narrations have been reviewed and evaluated, most of which contradict the Qur'an and are strangely consistent with the Torah. Based on evaluations, the documents of these narrations are all weak and unreliable in terms of narrations and authentication.

Although the origin of Judaism was not in the Arab Land, the events were behind the Israelites, dispersal. One of the places to which the Jewish migrated was the Arabia Peninsula. This historical research investigates the Jew's presence, activities their influence and other's influence on them among the Arabs in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance until the advent of Islam. In discussing the question of geography of religions and evacuation of a religion its original place, sometimes the evacuation is optional; for example, when the followers of that religion intend to spread their religion (doctrine) among the people of other countries and attract new followers, and sometimes the evacuation is not attributed to optional factors. The evacuation of Judaism from its original land is considered of the first kind; because after Moses, Judaism gradually turned to tribalism, and so the main concern of the followers of this faith was something other than propagation and extension of their beliefs. Therefore, the factors of their existence among the Arabs in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance are involuntary. This existence had its effects on Arabs and was also liable to be influenced by them. This paper investigates this issue using a historical approach.

A lot of mystical poetry works especially during the sixth century have come up with various approaches. This study tries to shed light on literary and mental works in mystical order from a different view so that the manifestation of Israelites could be reflected in their works. In this short paper, that section approved by researchers and great hadith relators who commented on the forged relation of Israelites in the stories of Adam and Solomon and their echoes on Manteghul Tair, as the most important mystical poetry of the six century. This paper has used a descriptive analytic research with the purpose of studying the forged relations and Israelites as the non-Islamic beliefs in general and the level of affectedness of Attar’s works in particular. The founding of the study demonstrates that entry of forged relations into the poetry of those such as Attar comes from some evidences. The most important reason is their poetic implications on the commentaries and incorrect relations and sometimes some weak resources have been used unconsciously. Regardless of the kind of resources and the originality of relation and story, reflection and commentaries of mystical teachings on any issues have been utilized.

Most of the instances of the divine Unseen aid mentioned in the glorious Quran is related to the previous nations and followers of the previous religions. In the meantime, the verses revealed about Israelites or Musa's nation are more than those revealed about other nations. Quranic view of "divine aid" in is, in some cases, similar to that of Old Testament in terms of kind, conditions, and functions. The Quran also mentions the divine aid for Musa's nation when they left Egypt (Exodus), for Yahweh in desert and when God granted them the various blessings they wanted, although there are some differences between the Quran and Old Testament regarding some issues. The Quran does not mention God's promise to the offspring of Ibrahim to make them own the land through Isaac and Jacob, as it is mentioned in the Old Testament. Furthermore, the Quran does not mention the idea of giving the Promised Land to Israelites without any condition; rather, it mentions that such a bestowal is contingent upon obeying divine injunctions. We understand form Quranic verses that Israelites were liberated from imprisonment of Pharaoh and inherited the land in order to freely worship the Most High God. Some other kinds of divine aid are related to the Muslim nation in early Islam. The present paper discusses the features of divine Unseen aid mentioned in the Glorious Quran and Old Testament in terms of concept, kind, conditions and functions, while referring to the similarities and differences between these features in their text.

Undistorted Judaism is a divine and monotheist religion that has raised the flag of struggle against polytheism and resisted against Pharaoh and his people from its beginning. The clear evidence of this struggle and resistance is Quran's statements revealed in several phrases. The Holy Quran states:" when wizards were defeated by Mose's miracle, they said they adhere to the belief in the Lord of the world and heavens; the Lord of Moses and Aaron." (Quran: chapter 7: verses: 121-122). However, Some researchers of Judaism, like Julius Wellhausen, in an false perception of Tanakh and apparent meanings of some chapters of Old Testament, have cast doubt on the issue and claimed that Judaism was a polytheist religion and pursued a kind of Unitarianism at the beginning; but gradually this attitude was dismissed at the time of Babylon Exodus and monotheism prevailed. The present paper rejects aforementioned perception, insists on monotheism of Judaism since Mose's time, and proves this, using arguments taken from Old Testament.

Israelites are a set of effects made by the Jewish and Christian upon the interpretation of the Koran, and since the Koranic relation and interpretations have a large impact on Persian Literature, the subject has fitfully been inserted into the prose and poetry of Persian Literature by the poets and writers of the same Jewish and Christian cultural issues.Undoubtedly, those direct and indirect impacts have caused the richness and beauties of literature, especially in mystical literature. This fact is investigated that whether the added quoted stories and narrations in literary texts, especially Sufi's texts, match with the original Koranic narrations and stories or not. Upon investigating every story by Rumi, Attar, Najm Razi, and others, as well as the marginal notes and relations, frequently such artistic and remarkable notes are seen so that if the positive, artistic works, are mystical teachings are appreciated, one's scientific mission demands that the Koranic realities should be differentiated from one another and at least the extra branches and veins added to Islamic stories are recognized.The present paper is aimed at achieving criteria and principles to accurately analyze Israelites in Persian mystical texts being formed out of a Koranic and religious viewpoint.
